This year when making dinner on Halloween prepare these ahead of time.Make your favorite stuffed peppers with pumpkin cut outs. Remember that you cut out very little because as you cook them they will shrink. Don’t throwaway the tops or stems as you top this guy off to make a great presentation. Serve with a side salad with food colored tited ranch dressing. The kids will love it and it will be a good source of healthy energy after trick-or-treating.
These are some great inspirations for pumpkin designs. Goes to show with creativity and not always a carved pumpkin, pumpkins can make a great display with a few props. The painted design is also really nice and can show off your artistic talents as well. To paint a pumpkin: dry and paint with primer (all areas where you want to paint) and then paint with acrylics. Don’t forget to take a picture and send our way!
We thought this was a great idea! Arrange orange colored frosted cupcakes to make a shape of a pumpkin. Then carefully ice across the entire shape to make one cohesive pumpkin. Use cut up Oreos and candy corns to give your creation an awesome design. Don’t forget a couple of cupcakes going up to make the stem. Here they are in the same orange frosting but you could do this is in a green, black or yellow frosting as well.
For all you crafters out there here is your official Halloween calendar…. you better get busy. Looks like a lot of work!
Cut a 2 liter of pop/drink like shown above. Will eliminate drink spillage when guests are visiting and make one less thing for you to cleanup. Once done wash and dry and store inside the cooler for the next time.
