Pumpkin Fever is Contagious!
If you haven’t been to your local Market Basket lately, you may not have the fever yet! Tall and oblong, short and stout, white, orange, mini, gigantic, for decorating or for baking, Market Basket has them all! You can find lots of cool carving stencils online or at your local craft or hardware stores. Remember to carve other gourds too, to make a Halloween display that steals your neighborhood spotlight. But don’t limit your pumpkin fever to just carving them!
Paint or tape them, plot them, sculp them, string them or eat them too!
- Instead of carving, use paint, patterned duct tape or beads to spiff up your gourds.
- Plot small or mini pumpkins and gourds strategically in your cornucopias or centerpieces. Even stack them together to create a larger masterpiece.
- Carve fun patterns into your pumpkin this year. Here are some downloadable patterns from HGTV
- Sculpt your pumpkins into pleasant little candleholders.
- String your mini gourds to create a garland for your banister, porch or deck.
- Eat them! Of course you can commit a traditional roasting of your pumpkin seeds. And you can infuse pumpkin into breads, muffins, pies, cheesecakes and cookies. This time of year, you will even find pumpkin lattes or pumpkin ice cream! But try something new this year with 5 Ways to Cook & Eat Pumpkin Seeds.
