Recipes from my Pumpkin Carving Party

This weekend myself & my roommates had our second pumpkin carving party. We set up tables covered with plastic table cloths (makes clean up super easy), tea light candles for our guests to put in their pumpkins, plastic gloves so our guests don't have to get dirty when cleaning out the pumpkin guts and we placed many decorated paper bags that contained carving supplies in them. All we asked of our guests is that they bring their own pumpkin and we provide everything else including yummy gluten-free treats and cocktails! Once everyone...

Gluten Free Pumpkin Nut Bread

I love the fall season & everything about it! My favorite thing about fall is being able to bake in the kitchen without over heating the house and filling the house with delicious smells! Growing up I always remember my Mom would make pumpkin bread. It smelled delicious while it was baking in the oven and was perfect for breakfast or dessert! She would heat it up in the microwave for 10 seconds with a little butter on top and it tasted fresh out of the oven! So today I pulled out the family cook book and decided to make it, but substitute...

DIY Halloween Banner

Last year my roommates and I had a pumpkin carving party. Out guests brought their own pumpkins and we provided all carving supplies, along with yummy treats and fall cocktails! It was a ton of fun and we decided to make it an annual event! The other day I was browsing hobby lobby and came across this plain brown paper mâché banner that said "Halloween" as soon as I saw it, I thought it would look great hovering above our appetizer/cocktail table at the pumpkin carving party, but I needed to jazz it up a bit...so I did exactly that!...

DIY metallic & glitter mason jars

As lame as it sounds I love storage and organization. In my bathroom I have large glass canisters you would typically find in a kitchen for storage but I use mine to store cotton balls and the other to store Q-tips. I use these items daily for cleaning up makeup, applying toner, etc.  so it's essential that I can access them easily! I've been staring at these boring jars for awhile and decided I needed to do something different, so I took a trip to hobby lobby and purchased some new jars. I ended up finding some large, wide mouth...
