I appreciate carving and decorating with real pumpkins for fall and Halloween.
Doing it is another story.
Pin this post for pumpkin decorating ideas!
Carving pumpkins is messy, goopy, and if you do it too early, moldy by the time Halloween rolls around. Besides, if don't carve the pumpkins, we can make fresh pumpkin puree (learn how on my food blog Lazy Budget Chef) and use it to make fantastic food after Halloween. Lacey likes this idea very much.
