Halloween 2014

We decided to celebrate a bit of Halloween in our house so in honor of this crazy 

holiday we carved some pumpkins, baked pumpkin seeds and even had caramel apples!

Confession! I tried to make "traditional" caramel apples but the caramel was sliding off the apples so I decided that it was MUCH EASIER to just turn them into Apple Nachos. I think that this will be a new tradition in our house and it is easier to bite into them too. Here we poured some homemade caramel sauce over the sliced apples and then sprinkled with some crushed Daim candy.

Caden, Jaxon and Darby all carved a pumpkin.

Darby's pumpkin is Mike from the movie Monsters Inc.

I also decided that an easier way to dry the pumpkin seeds, is to put them in the oven for a little while to dry. Then I take them out to season and oil them and then back in the oven they go again!
