Fall is upon us, although the weather doesn’t seem to agree. That means it’s time to decorate with some pumpkins. The tricky part is how to keep pumpkins fresh longer. I need them to last all season, not just a couple of weeks. The good news is that there are a few tricks to keeping them looking good until it’s time to put up the Christmas lights.

Plus they can be used for more than just decorating the tree. I’ve got them spread throughout my house this Christmas. You definitely must give these a try this Christmas.
Are those bananas your kids swore they would eat sitting on the counter going bad? Make up a loaf of this easy banana bread! It makes for a delicious breakfast or a tasty dessert. Don’t throw money in the trash, throw it in the oven instead!
