Autumn

Happy Halloween wishes to everyone who celebrates!

Well known in my family for never creating anything other than happy faces on Halloween pumpkins, this year I decided, for my very special daughter-in-law who adores all things spooky at Halloween, I would break with tradition and attempt something a little more scary! How'd I do?

Winter chill is in the evening air! It's the perfect time of year to warm up with the ultimate comfort food - Shepherd's Pie! And this recipe is extra comforting because it is made with pot roast! I developed this delicious (and filling) Shepherd's Pie for Diane's Sweetie and it has become a family favorite.

Quick and easy peasy little way to spread Halloween fun throughout the season! Kid tested! Kids find it very entertaining to rearrange the faces every day - or every hour! As do I!

Happy Halloween!

Meet Ginger: my little Halloween Witch.

She was created entirely of farm produce - gourds and corn mostly. Well - there IS a bit of help from felt tip markers and hot glue - so MOSTLY all farm produce!

Actually, something quite similar could be done using fresh squash or pumpkins - but once cut, your squash will likely only last a couple days before it begins to mold. But that is true of pretty much anything made with fresh squash or pumpkins.

Today I finally gave in to Fall! Decorated my seasonal tree with fall ornaments. Put up my Halloween Tree. Set out Halloween and Harvest decorations. And it seems like a good time to change over my blog too! A little round-up of Fall and Halloween tutorials seems appropriate!
