Utah: land of 70 degree weather one week and 16 degrees and snowy the next.
We had so much fun at the Kuwahara Pumpkin patch this past weekend in Draper!
They have the best pumpkin selection and the cutest pumpkin wall back drop!
We even got some cute mini pumpkins and decorated them, it was so much fun! We got the design ideas from a Starbucks we stopped at.
Later that night, we went to what in my opinion, has been the scariest haunt so far!
Check out the Haunted Forest!
Between the weather and darkness it was by far the scariest. They have amazing themes and props— with some twists that made my stomach drop a bit! Don’t worry, we survived though!
Since we went on a Saturday, and did not get a fast pass, the wait was about 45mins but felt fast, minus the cold! It is about a mile or more long so wear comfortable walking shoes that you don’t care about because it’s dusty and well it’s in the forest.
The fall season has quickly turned into winter though, Sunday brought snow and 16 degree days so in true fall fashion, I made my famous pumpkin 🎃 chili !
Ingredients:
- 15oz pumpkin
- 1cup low sodium chicken broth
- 1lb ground turkey
- 3 Rona tomatoes
- 2 medium sweet potato
- 1 yellow bell pepper
- 1 orange bell pepper
- 1 can low sodium pinto beans
- Chili powder
- Garlic powder
- Smoked paprika
- Salt
- Pepper
Directions;
- In an instant pot, spray with olive oil to avoid sticking. Set instant pot on sauté and cook turkey until almost done (don’t over cook)
- While turkey is cooking, chop peppers, sweet potato and prep other ingredients
- Once turkey is cooked, turn off instant pot and all the remaining ingredients, save spices for last and measure with your heart.
- Give it a good stir and put the lid on.
- Switch the instant pot into manual or pressure cooker mode. Set for 45 mins and forget it!
- Once time is up, slow release for 7 mins
- Enjoy!
I have been eating my pumpkin chili all week for prep, it also freezes well! Perfect fall meal for those 20 below days.
So excited for the Halloween activities this weekend, costume ideas and a new take on trick or treating in a pandemic! Stay tuned!
Until next week!
