Grace, Joe, and I spent this afternoon at a Halloween party. It was sponsored by the local government and geared toward little kids. Everything was fun, nothing was scary.

That’s my kind of Halloween party.

One of the activities was painting pumpkins.

Painting a Pumpkin

We’re developing quite the collection of pumpkins around here. So many that we’ll need to be using them soon.

Do you know how to use a fresh pumpkin?

It’s really quite simple.

Over the years, I’ve used fresh pumpkins for ice cream sundaes, milkshakes, cookies, cakes, and pumpkin rolls.

I don’t think I’ve ever had any pumpkin foods that I didn’t like.

These are my favorite pumpkin recipes:

My friend, Amy, at The Finer Things in Life, has a wonderful and comprehensive list of pumpkin recipes on her blog. You really should check it out. She’s got recipes from dozens of blogs, and her list includes everything from desserts to main dishes.

Have you seen the Dinner in a Pumpkin? Another Macaroni Kid mom shared it and I used it in my newsletter earlier this month.

LOVE that picture of her painting her pumpkin!
We carved some and chalkboard paint sprayed others so that the kids could have multiple options.

It’s so fun to experiment with seasonal items! Amy definitely has a great list!
