2. Prepare a fresh roasted pumpkin and black bean bowl
Florida’s mild November weather makes a colorful grain bowl an appealing lunch option. Toss cubed pumpkin or butternut squash with olive oil, cumin, and smoked paprika.

Finish with fresh lime juice for a satisfying meal featuring seasonal ingredients.
