We love autumn, and especially Halloween. In fact we love any time of the year that we can celebrate the seasons, our culture and the culture and traditions of others while we come to think of it!!

This week, I wanted to share with you some of our favourite Halloween things. 

Pumpkin carving

Who doesn’t like to do a spot of pumpkin carving! I don’t claim to be any good at it, but we do have a lot of fun. Some of the carved pumpkins you can find on Pinterest are phenomenal! May have a go at something a little more unusual this year just for a laugh!! Watch this space!!

Pumpkin bread

Since I discovered this recipe four years ago, it has been a firm favourite every pumpkin season. It is very good for using up all the pumpkin flesh that is left over after your pumpkin carving session. Super easy and goes down a treat!

Decorations

I try not to go too over the top on the Halloween decoration side, but I do like to create a nice centrepiece for the table using seasonal fruit and leaves. They bring a little of the outside in and make me feel more connected to the seasons. There are loads of ideas on Pinterest for Autumnal centrepieces, but you can check out some of our favourites on our Pinterest board here. 

Halloween baking

Some of our other favourite recipes are also super simple like these white chocolate ghosts, or the pumpkin mummies – again Pinterest is an amazing resource for recipes.

Leave us a comment below and let us know what your favourite Halloween activities are! 

Happy Halloween ;)
