Today we spent the day preparing for Halloween. As usual, my little helper spearheaded each project we did.
:: Ginger cats, bats and owls. I used a regular gingerbread cookie recipe, and we cut them into scary Halloween shapes.
...Oh yeah, made a loaf of Banana Bread too! That recipe later.
:: Silly pumpkin head. This was a free download over at Angry Chicken, so much fun!
:: Yummy "gourmet" pumpkin seeds. At least I think they're gourmet, nobody else in the house likes them. But I'm OK with that, more for me!
-wash seeds and place in bowl. Drizzle olive oil over them, about 2 TBS.
-spread onto a baking sheet.
-sprinkle with salt, pepper and garlic powder.
-Bake 350 degrees for 15 minutes, then change temp. to 300 degrees for another 15 minutes or until golden, and crunchy. So very addictive!
:: And finally at the end of the day, the pumpkin!
If you look close, you can see that Colin signs our "names" to the pumpkin. You'll notice my name is "Mom", he said that's my "other" name. Cracks me up!
Hope your having a spooky start to your week!
