baked pumpkin-black bean sliders & avocado sauce
Baked Pumpkin-Black Bean Sliders with a creamy Avocado Sauce are perfect for your summer entertaining. They are loaded with good nutrition and are a wonderful vegetarian option for your next cookout. My daughter doesn't eat Feet Meat (which means if it walks on land or in the ocean she won't eat it, if it swims it's okay, otherwise known as a vegetarian). So I’m always trying to come up with meals that she can eat, but are still appealing to the whole family. Not always easy!
