Easy Pumpkin Dip

Hello! My name is Alyssa and I blog over at My Husband's Watching TV While I'm Watching the Baby. A big thank you to Miranda and Jamie for having me as a guest blogger! I hope Miranda is enjoying her sweet baby and taking a break from some Pinterest projects.
This past weekend, my daughter, AR and I went to a Halloween party at her friend's house. When we got invited, I went straight to my Baby G board because I'd remembered that I'd pinned this last year at Halloween when she was only 5 months old. A healthy Halloween snack...oranges with Jack-o-lantern faces drawn on with Sharpie! So easy but I did have to look up what a Jack-o-lantern looked like because for the life of me, I couldn't picture how to draw the mouth!

After I made them, we loaded them up in AR's trick or treat bag. Is it not adorable? AR's Nana made it for her and she loves it...well, she loves to wear it on her head when it's empty.

Then I made pumpkin dip to take with us. I found this recipe on my Get In My Belly board. All you need is a can of pumpkin, Cool Whip, large box of Instant vanilla pudding. The cinnamon sugar and real pumpkin are optional.

Next step, mix all the ingredients together. I feel like it's a little bland so I add the cinnamon sugar for a little bit of sweetness. I also think it's better if you make it the night before you serve it.

My husband cut the pumpkin for me and cleaned out the inside. Then I used it to serve the pumpkin dip! I served it with some graham Teddy Bears.

All the other kids at the party loved the dip! They'd lick all the dip off the Teddy Bears and want more. I think it's safe to say that the dip was a hit at the party and the party was a hit with my little cowgirl!

Happy pinning!
