Happy Pumpkin Day

Penny Says: Boo!


From Ghouls to princesses my favorite thing about Halloween by far is Bright Orange Pumpkins.

According to Wiki 1.5 billion pounds of Pumpkin is grown in the United States (alone) and Pumpkin is a successfully grown crop on all continents but Antarctica.

They are most likely to be jack-o-lanterns today but most days they should really be food. But for today check out You-tube pumpkin carving and I am sure you will find a few great how-to-guides on Carving the best Pumpkin.

What a waste it would be to let the giant buckets of half price Holiday pumpkins turn to mush!
Buy them and eat them! YUM! For recipes Ideas visit sites like http://allrecipes.com/HowTo/Pumpkin-Recipes/Detail.aspx

Its a big orange squash - roast it, boil it, mash it, cube it, spice it, sweeten it, or even BBQ it!

Like all Big orange veggies, Pumpkin is loaded in Beta-carotene, and Vits' E, C, A, B's. All the good stuff with tons of flavor. Plus the seeds are loaded in only the Greatest of fats ! To diabetic to eat a tonne of pumpkin - roast up the seeds with your favorite low sodium seasoning and enjoy!
