Hello, DIYers!

Each year around Halloween, people purchase tons of pumpkins to use as decor for the holiday! Jack-o-Lanterns are a popular, family tradition that turn these gorgeous gourds into something spooky and fun! Unfortunately, the innards that are removed from pumpkins are often scooped out and discarded even though they are full of nutritious goodness! Instead of tossing your pumpkin guts this year, why not use them?! Here are some ideas!

Happy carving!
