HOW TO ROAST PUMPKIN SEEDS
10/24/2022
If carving pumpkins is on your list this week, be sure to save the seeds to roast and start a new family tradition while you’re at it. You can play it safe and go with basic salt and pepper flavoring. Or experiment with flavors like Ranch, Everything Bagel, pickle, spicy, sweet, salt and vinegar, pizza, taco, bacon, garlic parmesan, BBQ, cinnamon-sugar, whatever you can dream up. Maybe try a new flavor each year. It’s a fun memory your kids will carry with them as they grow older and begin families of their own. Begin by collecting the seeds from a fresh pumpkin. Place in a colander and rinse, using your hands to scrub away any pulp. Spread on a dish towel and dry thoroughly. Place dry seeds in a bowl. For the seeds of one medium-sized pumpkin, add about 1 tablespoon liquid such as olive oil or melted butter....

POISON FROG | HALLOWEEN COCKTAIL
10/19/2022
If the kids get candy for Halloween, the adults should get cocktails. That’s my view anyway. May I present to you the Poison Frog. Midori liqueur gives this drink the cool green color and, mixed with sweet and sour, tastes like a sweet tart. Add a small chunk of dry ice, if desired, for the fog. DRY ICE WARNING: Use tongs to place dry ice into glass. Never touch dry ice with bare hands. Use small chunks of dry ice. If you use too much, it will bubble over and splatter EVERYWHERE. Do not drink until dry ice has melted. The bubbling should be last about 5 minutes before the ice has dissolved. CAUTION: Black decorating sugar will stain your mouth. Use if you dare. Cheers to Halloween! Click HERE to print recipe.

HOW TO DIY DISCO PUMPKINS
10/14/2022
If you have followed me for a bit, you know one of my favorite things are disco balls. I shared how I use them year round as decor around the house HERE. Now that I know it’s possible to DIY “disco” almost anything, nothing is off limits. My first victims were a couple of old, ugly faux pumpkins. The process is literally so simple and very addicting. Cinderella wouldn’t mind her carriage turning back into a pumpkin if it were a disco pumpkin. You’ll need a faux pumpkin, self-adhesive mirror tiles and silver spray paint. Cut the tiles into strips with scissors or an exacto knife. For the two pumpkins shown, I used three sheets of tiles. I realized after my order arrived that the mirror tiles are smaller than the usual size you see on a disco ball. But I ended up liking the final product better with...
