Adults or not, we still love dress-up and holiday parties. So as we prepare to transform our perfect Cinderella carriage pumpkins into menacing jack-o'-lanterns, let's invite some friends and make it a festive adult playdate.Need a little exercise to warm up? Pumpkin races! Grab similar-sized pumpkins and race to the other end of the yard. You'll get that blood moving and stomach's chuckling. Speaking of pumpkins, check out Bachman's Floral Gift and Garden's 25 ideas for decorating with pumpkins!
Chilly, winds and frosty mornings call for warm doughy treats and hot-spiced drinks. Cupcake on University Avenue in St. Paul is serving up steamy hot, creamy zucchini and dill soup for fall, perfect with a sugary cupcake for dessert to prepare for winter hibernation.
Gardens of Salonica New Greek Deli in NE Minneapolis is showcasing fresh, local delights, as well as old favorites like Boughatsa (a phyllo dough stuffed with feta and spinach) and Skordalia, a mix of potato, olive oil, lemon juice and plenty of garlic (which is fabulously-full of antioxidants). The fresh ingredients always make me feel relaxed and refreshed.
Finally, here's a subtle decorating tip from Stems and Vines; give your indoor plants an autumn look by adding a few sprigs of preserved fall foliage between the leaves.
