Autumn Pumpkins For Your Diet - Pumpkins Are Orange Weight Loss Jewels
Pumpkin Decor
Pumpkins
are ultra inexpensive and can be found all about town during the Autumn months.
They are fun to decorate - whether you're carving out a Jack-o-Lantern
or studding them with jewels, gold rope and fake pearls.
Rich & Hearty
Pumpkin Soup & a Pumpkin Bowl
One idea that
I use often is to hull out the pumpkin and prepare pumpkin soup. The 'recipe
base' is very simple: cooked pumpkin, cinnamon, ginger & nutmeg if desired
and skim milk. Wash out your hulled pumpkin and you have an instant
soup bowl!
To cut down
on bacteria, you can zap your hulled pumpkin in the microwave for a few seconds.
Be sure to thoroughly rinse out the hull with clean water before filling.
Dry with a paper towel, if desired.
Beautiful Container
If you're planning
to give your loved one an Autumn flower arrangement, use a hulled-out pumpkin
as your base. Snare a fall-like bow around your creation and fasten a
small scarecrow ornament onto the bow OR knit it into your arrangement. The
recipient will definitely be dazzled!
Keep in mind
that Thanksgiving is just a few weeks away. A hulled out pumpkin that's
filled with fresh & manufacture flowers - such as mums and cranberries will
be the WOW of your table. Add a few long, thin, fragrant candles to your
arrangement and DOUBLE WOW! By the way, you'll probably want to anchor
your arrangement in florist's foam or Styrofoam.
Did we mention
not to forget to spray the Pumpkin Room Scent? Oh, and can we also make
a wreath for the door with the mini-pumpkins? And don't toss out those
seeds! Dry them and get the kids involved. A little glue, a few pumpkins,
a bit of color - and perhaps they can create an Autumn Turkey masterpiece.
