100+ Free Printable Pumpkin Stencils & Templates

Free fun and whimsical DIY pumpkin carving patterns are as plentiful as the pumpkins you see in the fields, at neighborhood pumpkin patches and at markets right now.  For those of you celebrating, Halloween will be here before you know it. So it's time to start (or finish) decorating your home, if you haven't done it already. It's also a good idea to start planning this year's jack-o'-lantern masterpiece now, if you're carving one. To get the best choice, select your pumpkin now. But, wait to actually carve the design until just a day or so before Halloween to keep your pumpkin as fresh as possible.

Isn't this adorbs? I love this super simple pumpkin carving idea for baby's first Halloween which makes a great photo prop for some Instagram worthy images this fall. All you do is cut the pumpkin top open and hollow out then cut two smaller holes in front slightly larger in diameter than your child's legs. 

Seriously, no matter what you like, what your skill level is and what you are looking for you are bound to find one or more free downloadable pumpkin stencils here that you or the kids will want to use to carve your pumpkin this Halloween.

Summer Grilling for Vegans, Meat-Eaters

Who doesn't enjoy delicious food grilled outside over charcoal or fragrant, smokey wood during the summer months, right?  That's why I love sharing really tasty, healthy and innovative recipes like this one from The Soyfoods Council. This dinner idea is meatless, actually two recipes in one yummy meal: Grilled Tofu and Grilled Garlic Bread, something that will appeal to both vegan and carnivore foodies.

 

RECIPE

Grilled Tofu with Chimichurri Sauce 
and Grilled Garlic Bread

Chimichurri sauce is a zesty Latin American condiment similar to pesto

Chimichurri Sauce:

• 2 cups lightly packed chopped parsely
• 3-5 garlic cloves, peeled
• 1 t. salt
• 1/2 t. fresh ground pepper
• 1/2 t. chili pepper flakes
• 2 T. shallot or onion, minced
• 3/4 cup vegetable or olive oil
• 3 T. sherry wine vinegar or red wine vinegar
• 3 T. lemon juice

Cumin Rub:

• 1 t. granulated garlic
• 1/2 t. smoked paprika or Hungarian paprika
• 1/2 t. ground cumin
• 1 box (12 ozs) extra-firm tofu made from 100% US soybeans
• Olive oil
• Kosher salt

To prepare the Chimichurri sauce, place all ingredients in a blender or food processor and pulse until well chopped, but not puréed. Set aside.

To prepare the rub, combine the garlic, paprika and cumin; mix well. Set aside. Cut the tofu in half lengthwise to make two "steaks" about 3/4-inch thick. Brush lightly with olive oil. Press the rub into both sides of the tofu steaks. Just before grilling, season the tofu steaks with kosher salt. Place tofu directly on the cooking grate over direct heat and sear. Cook for 4-6 minutes. Turn the tofu steams with a pair of tongs, using a flat spatula if needed. Sear the second side and continue grilling until done, about 3-5 minutes. Cut grilled tofu into thin slices and serve with Chimichurri Sauce and Grilled Garlic Bread.

Grilled Garlic Bread:

• 8 pieces crusty, dense Italian bread, cut into 3/4 to 1-inch thick slices
• 4 large cloves garlic, peeled, cut in half
• Extra virgin olive oil, preferably from Tuscany

For grilled garlic bread, place bread slices on grates, turning once until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Rub one side of each piece of bread with a half clove of garlic; rub hard for good garlicky flavor. Place each piece of bread on a serving plate and brush with thin coating of olive oil. Season with salt, serve with the Chimichurri Tofu and enjoy.

Each and every new CoComelon release offers little ones, mom, dad and their families everyday experiences, situations and lessons that are universally-relatable and presented in a fun and heartwarming way. The series focuses on a cast of sweet, relatable CoComelon characters including toddler JJ, his family, and friends as they explore and learn new things through practical life examples.

In addition, the series -- which sensitively addresses modern social issues -- is ideal for parents and kids to watch together and talk about what they've learnt. Worth noting: earlier this summer CoComelon hosted an influencer event for moms and their kids at Underwood Farms in California to celebrate JJ's birthday.
