Pumpkin Patch Tradition
Hubby wanted to show you all the inside of a yellow tomato.
As soon as we got home from Church I made a “EVERYTHING BUT THE KITCHEN SINK” Raw Salad. I chopped up a ton of veggies and fruit and came up with….
this!
- spinach + romaine
- jicama ( love this stuff)
- chopped apple
- grapes
- 1/2 yellow tomato
- mushrooms
- handful of nuts
I then blended up an avocado, lime, pepper, cilantro and EVOO in the Vita-Mix an attempt to try and make a cilantro avocado dressing. It came out a little thicker then I would have..looks like a GM on my salad…LOL
Non the less it was AMAZING!!!!
After lunch Hubby and I headed over to the Pumpkin Patch to get ourselves a pumpkin to carve, a McCormick Family tradition.
So many choices!
Hubby and I decided on this one!!

I also got a little one for decor.
They had a lot of other things to choose from too, Gourds GALORE!
They also had some free recipes to choose from, I plan on making the pumpkin butter recipe that's in there.
What a fun day already!! I feel like this has been such a productive yet FUN weekend, and it’s not over yet. I am off to teach kickboxing tonight and then stay tuned for dinner..
Do you guys have a pumpkin patch in your town? Any fall traditions in your house?

I love all the fall pictures! It's funny though- I'm in Boston so when we are doing pumpkin stuff there are no shorts and dresses haha.
I don't know that I've had a yellow tomato that I remember
We used to always go and get pumpkins when I was younger! Then we would make a huge mess trying to carve them ;)
I'm pretty sure pumpkins aren't a native food in Japan. No patches to be found. At least not in our small town. This is a tradition we want to start once we settle back in the U.S. though! Thanks for sharing the photos.
Looks like so much fun!! I love pumpkin picking!!
What a great idea to make an avocado into dressing. That had to be fabulous!
My boyfriend and I are going to have a pumpkin carving contest. Haha.
I love all your pics! Beautiful! Just wanted to say hi! Following you now too
Bobbi you are really becoming quite ETHNIC! First you are a bridesmaid in my wedding and Matt is DJing at it and NOW you are enjoying Jicama! Seriously...squeeze some lime on the Jicama and sprinkle some chile powder on it-it is AMAZING. It's a Mexican's treat! lol
Great photos Bobbi!
We do have several pumpkin patches around. This year, we didn't make it yet - but when we do, it's lots of fun. A couple of years ago, we did a corn maze at the farm we visited. Still stands out as a great family memory for all of us!
Oh...and the salad looks delish!
Looks like fun! I need to try and make it out there.
Can I ask which pumpkin patch you went to? I live not far from you and want to take my son to one...is this the one of I-10 on the way to Oak Glen?
