We are right around the corner from Halloween, and what better way to get into the spooky season spirit than to talk about Pumpkins! And even better… on National Pumpkin Day!
You can use pumpkins for quite a few things. You can use them to cook delicious foods, use them as decorations, or you can carve them into jack-o-lanterns.
I know many people enjoy pumpkin pie, but I personally don’t. I’m more of an apple pie fan. However, I do enjoy eating some pumpkin bread and pumpkin spice cookies!
Jack-o-lanterns are also very cool! When carved into one and with a light put inside it, they look super spooky!
Using pumpkins as decorations is also very neat. In my home, we have several pumpkins spread throughout the space. It gets us into the holiday spirit a bit and it adds more color variety since we don’t have many orange things in here.
What is your favorite thing to use pumpkins for?

I’m really picky so I don’t like anything pumpkin/pumpkin flavored, but I do like carving them and baking the pumpkin seeds from the pumpkins I carve! The seeds are the only part I really like to eat 😂 I also put them out for decoration by my front door outside and last year I let one rot and I accidentally grew a pumpkin lol 🤣
