I am linking up with Mama’s Kat’s video prompt: “Show us how you prepare a favorite fall recipe.” One of her other prompts was to record a video of myself scaring someone, so in honor of Halloween today, here I am after my zombie makeover at the Doomsday Fair.
A Zombie in a Tunnel
My husband said I needed to watch some more zombie movies because I looked more like Frankenstein’s monster than a zombie. Um, they’re too scary. Just pass me the butternut squash.
Happy Halloween!

Oh, I am totally going to make this recipe. I LOVE butternut squash!
That recipe looks awesome! I need a sharper knife, though. Yours just sliced through the squash like it was nothing!
I actually edited out a small part of me struggling to cut it (just for time’s sake). They are so hard!
Hello! I don’t know that I ever visited your site before, but I like it! So glad to “meet” you; and love your recipe.
Welcome, and thanks!
That recipe looks delicious and I’m totally with you – zombie movies are far too frightening to be used as research!
Yes! I don’t know which scare me more, the slow ones or the quick ones.
I need to use more squash in recipes… and you are a bit too smooth and fast for a zombie!
Very fun though!
Oh this sounds and looks amazing!!!
LOVE the Zombie makeover too!
It was great to see this delicious dish being prepared – excellent video! I really like the sound of this recipe. I’m always looking for new meatless meals, and new ways to use butternut squash so this recipe really fits the bill
Thanks, April. I hope you like it if you try it.
