Obviously one of the best parts of Halloween is the pumpkin carving. But what to do with it after your done? Here’s some ideas!

If I had seen this recipe about a month ago, so that there was time to brew it before Hallowe’en, I would have been all over it. All. Over. It.
Next time, Gadget. Next time.
I don’t have a kid, but I do strenuously maintain a childlike sense of wonder inside my own self, so there’s a wee bit of giddyness bubbling up inside me as I read through the recipe for Baked Pumpkin Oatmeal on the Cooking With My Kid blog.
Using a small sugar pumpkin, just hollow the insides out, plop in some steel cut oats, along with spices, butter and a little milk, then bake for 45 mins or an hour at about 375 F. They say to leave the lid off the pumpkin for the first 20 minutes or so and then to put it on loosely, to let steam escape. Also, they recommend soaking the stem in some water.
There’s a full recipe with measurements and everything here, but I’d bet this is the type of thing that rewards experimentation!
Amy, we are so doing this on Hallowe’en morning!
