Review:
Such a fun idea! Yeah so you are suppose to be able to eat the pumpkin too... and every time I think it's a great idea, but really pumpkin alone isn't all that great. We had a big dinner and my friend Lyndsi made her own rendition of a dinner in a pumpkin with chicken. They were both good. That was such a crazy day! I threw it all together in about 30 minutes (including cleaning the pumpkin out and everything!) Then it just had to cook. I liked it:) and I'm glad people were willing to try it! I probably got too big of a pumpkin... but it still worked.
