You've almost got a 2-course meal there.

Make a guacamole and stir in some of the beans; add salt and black pepper to
taste. Serve in bell pepper pots, with a salad topped with broccoli raab (if
that's what I know as sprouting broccoli, a good sub for asparagus in
season). Arrange some matchsticked ginger over the peppers. Low fat it by
making the filling with a coarse bean puree instead of guacamole.

For dessert, make a fruit crumble topped with some nuts and oats. Serve with
crème frais and a sprinkling of clove powder. Low fat by swinging the
balance towards the oats, and serve with yoghurt.

No idea what you can do with the pumpkin, corn and potato. I guess you could
make a soup for a starter, but I wouldn't eat it because it'd be too carby
: )
