Easy Dollar Tree Pumpkin Decorating

October 25, 2017 · In: Home Design & DIY

Fall is in the air, well at least not the cooler weather here in Louisiana. The pumpkins are out in full force in my home….from pumpkin carving, pumpkin eating, and pumpkin decorating.

I am going to let you in on a secret to the best holiday trinkets and decor: Dollar Tree. Say whaaaat?! Yep, the one stop, dollar madness store. I absolutely LOVE shopping at the Dollar Tree. I may be the only one who goes into the Dollar Tree to spend over $40 $20.

Some of the best items to buy at the Dollar Tree are holiday trinkets and decor. I recently bought these pumpkin decorating kits, and they were more than a hit with my kids. Each kit comes with 4 different pumpkin decorations: a cat, a pirate, a silly face, and a bat. 4 for only $1!

The self adhesive cutout foam pieces make for easy and independent decorating for your little ones. My kids were ecstatic to be able to decorate their own pumpkins all by themselves, particularly my very independent 6 year old.

All you have to do is pop out the foam pieces and peel the paper off the backs to expose the sticky side. Then place them wherever on the pumpkin. My kids used small pie pumpkins (another deal with them only being $3 from Walmart), but a medium sized pumpkin would even work for these foam pieces. Another idea would be to purchase a plastic pumpkin from the Dollar Tree to decorate. Yes, they have them for only a $1!  The foam pieces that come in the kits are not cheaply made. It has been a few weeks and the stickers have yet to fall off on their own. The only reason why the ‘cat’ lost it’s left eye was due to a very curious 1 year old 😉

Once my kids had their pumpkins decorated, they did not want to let them out of their site. Let’s just say we had 2 extra dinner guests at our table later that evening.

So remember, check out Dollar Tree around any holiday to find great deals on those holiday trinkets and decor. We couldn’t have been more impressed with this pumpkin decorating  kit!

    I LOVE the Dollar Tree – I get basically all of my stocking stuffers there every year! I did not think about using them for Halloween crafts! I am going to have to run by my store today to see if they have these still, so cute!

Another easy weekday dinner idea? I got you with t Another easy weekday dinner idea? I got you with this Chicken Pot Pie made with @keystonemeats . This recipe is so good, so simple, and cozy ( y’all know what I mean 😂). The Keystone Canned Chicken makes it easier with it being fully cooked premium meat - NOTHING to thaw or cook, and it  only contains 2 clean ingredients. 

Chicken Pot Pie:

Filling-
1 can of KEYSTONE Canned Chicken, 28oz (drained)
2 can of Cream of Mushroom Soup, 10.5oz
1 cup of chicken broth 
1 bag of frozen mixed veggies, 16oz

Topping -
1 cup of milk
1 cup of self-rising flour
1 stick of butter, melted

Mix the filling ingredients and pour into a 9x13 casserole dish or a large deep dish pie dish ( like me!). Mix the topping ingredients, then pour on top. Bake uncovered at 450 for ~45 minutes or until golden brown.

Grab your KEYSTONE Canned Chicken online, Walmart, Kroger, Giant Eagle, or Meijer!

Ingredients:

2lbs ground meat
1/2 white onion, diced
1 - 28oz can of whole peeled tomatoes 
1 -18oz of tomato sauce
16.9oz Kettle & Fire Chicken Broth
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup shredded Parmesan 
16oz ricotta cheese
1lb of Gigli Noodles 
Salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder and Italian seasoning

Brown ground meat and sauté onions on med-high heat; add tomatoes and sauce and cook until tomatoes cook down, add seasonings; add noodles and broth; make sure all noodles are covered before putting lid on pan. Cook for about ~15 minutes, until noodles are al dente. While noodles cook, prep ricotta cheese mixture ( ricotta, 3/4c mozzarella and 1/4c Parmesan) as well as seasoned with Italian seasoning and salt.

Once noodles are done, fold in ~1/4c mozzarella then top with more mozzarella and place lid- heat on low - just to melt cheeses; now top with ricotta mixture and place in oven under broil with no lid long enough to lightly brown ricotta cheese and melt it.

Enjoy!!
