Mowhawk Skills
So, I am really not one to brag much but I am pretty proud of my mowhawk skills. They are a lot of work but so fun for the kids for Halloween, especially my little Melanie who is 8. She is going to be rocker this year and she had 2 parties last weekend she had to dress up for. What do you think?
Kaitlyn wanted to be a ninja with beautiful eyes. She did her make-up almost 100% by herself. I think she did a great job. She definitely has beautiful eyes in my opinion.
Dinner in a pumpkin
So I have had this before years and years ago but decided to try it myself because my cute 10 year old son Walker grew 15 pumpkins in his garden this year.
The cutest lil' punkin in my opinion, our youngest Lilly who will be 3 in Feb.
Here are the ingredients for dinner in a pumpkin;
1 1/2- 2 lbs of ground beef 1 cup chopped celery
1 onion, chopped
1/4 cup green onion, chopped
3 c. cooked rice
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can cream of mushroom soup 1/2 cup chopped or sliced mushrooms (omit if you aren't a mushroom fan)
3 tablespoons brown sugar
4 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons brown sugar
4 tablespoons soy sauce
salt and pepper
Brown hamburger. In another pot, cook rice (white or brown) as directed on package. Chop and saute celery, onion, and green onion. Once tender combine vegetables with hamburger, cream of chicken, cream of mushroom, mushrooms, brown sugar, soy and salt and pepper. Mix well.
Put mixture inside the pumpkin, replace lid. Place on baking sheet and into a 400 degree oven. Bake until pumpkin is tender (1 1/2 to 2 hours). Scoop out to serve, scraping sides of pumpkin to get the cooked pumpkin in the mixture. It is so good it melts in your mouth!
Most of my kids really liked this. My hubby loved it and I definitely will make it again because I really enjoyed it too! That is if I have someone to clean out the guts. Can't say I enjoy that part too much, you know? I remember being little and wanting to pick the biggest pumpkin at the patch that I could carry. Now I like the smallest because they have the least guts! Or, I actually really prefer painting them, plus they stay fresher longer. To each his own I guess!
