It's
pumpkin carving season! That means
it's time to get out your serrated knife, scoop out mounds of seeds, and get
busy designing and carving faces on your pumpkins. Do you prefer whacked out faces or the classic
jack-o-lantern face? Either way,
here are some ideas to get your creative pumpkin juices flowing.
But I NEVER
Carved a Pumpkin Before!
Not
to worry, you can find step-by-step instructions to carve your pumpkin on almost
any food website. Here is a sampling: BBC Good Food, Good Housekeeping, and Martha Stewart.
