Add 1/4 cup chopped green onions if you like.

Of course, I have 40 pumpkins from my garden that are calling out to be made into something, so I really *should* be making my own pumpkin butter.<BR/><BR/>Hi, birch mom -- Yep, the mummy wrappings are torn paper towels, both to keep the spiders from breaking and to add to the effect. <BR/><BR/>We do make our own vegan ranch dip. Little shmoo tried ranch dip once at a church function and promptly fell in love. I had to make 4 batches before I found the recipe he would eat. Now I've perfected it to the point where you can hardly hold him back. In fact, it's now 7:40am and he's eating ranch and carrots as a breakfast second course before we head out the door!Jennifershmoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08663322884550580226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-1130853983918412442005-11-01T06:06:00.000-08:002005-11-01T06:06:00.000-08:00Awesome, yet again! 5 stars for creativity!Awesome, yet again! 5 stars for creativity!Harmoniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09005561900381062963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-1130851944450344022005-11-01T05:32:00.000-08:002005-11-01T05:32:00.000-08:00I have been looking at this blog for a while now, ...I have been looking at this blog for a while now, and you have got to be the most creative mother I know.
