Hi friends! This year we kicked off our spooky October celebrations early. First, I hand-selected a hoppy cornucopia of pumpkin beer at Whole Foods. That part was easy!!
Next we went to the Trader Joe’s Pumpkin Patch. That’s right!! Where non-secular pumpkins are less than 4 bucks each. Dreamy!
While the gals were elbowing & digging through the pumpkin patch, the guys were at home … playing Grand Theft Auto 5. Sound familiar? Their mission was to round up all sharp objects and power tools … offline. Distracted, they failed miserably.
Pumpkin beer, cutlery and power tools in hand, we each got busy carving up classic, spooky inspirations. We even tried a spin on a nautical octopus carving, courtesy of Coastal Living Magazine via Pinterest.
Viola! We were pumpkined out. But we trekked on!! We saved all the gory guts, discarded teeth and seeds for the next step — spooky pumpkin chili!
I laughed so hard when dear friends asked for the recipe. First we had to make sure we survived the first batch of spooky pumpkin chili. WE DID!
SPOOKY PUMPKIN CHILI
- one large pot
- gather all the various beans from your zombie apocalypse stash
- gather all the cans of tomatoes & paste gathering dust in your cabinets
- chop up all of your whithering veggies
- salvaged pumpkin appendages
- 1-2 packages of spicy soy-sage that sat in your car for 24+ hr
- half opened taco seasoning packages
- salt & pepper to taste
- steam all hard veggie + pumpkin appendages
- warm olive oil with any fragrant veggies — such as garlic & onions
- drain & add beans + tomatoes
- sprinkle in taco seasoning
- add remaining chopped mystery veggies
- chop & add soy-sage
- add softened veggie + pumpkin appendages
- add water as needed
- simmer for 1-2 hours
- season as needed
YUMMY!!!!!!! It was the perfect combination of spicy & sweet. If you prefer a real recipe here is good link for inspiration.
This weekend? We are going to hit up the Charleston plantation corn mazes & haunted hayrides. You’ll hear me scream at the top of my lungs from hundreds of miles away.
XOXO
-Stella

Southern Inspired Designs For A Southern Inspired Lifestyle
From the The Belles & Bailey at DPC….Dixie Peaches Couture was created to bring true “Southern Inspired” designs to preppy customers who already live a “Southern inspired lifestyle”. Our designs reflect our Southern upbringing, our taste for all things preppy and classy, and the desire to share our love of high quality t-shirts and preppy merchandise. Growing up in a college town definitely shaped our love for t-shirts. They have always been a wardrobe staple… especially the forever preppy pocket T. We feel pocket T’s reflect the laid back preppy lifestyle of our brand and what our customers expect from DPC.
With the launch of our brand, we wanted our company to give back in a small way. That is why $1 from every “Bailey” item ordered from our website will be donated to Athens Canine Rescue. Bailey was rescued from a local shelter the day he was scheduled to be euthanized. We felt it was important to share his story and raise awareness of why canine adoption is so important. There are so many other “Baileys” that need forever homes and we hope his story encourages adoption from animal shelters across the South.
Our company is located in Athens, GA only minutes from the beautiful Downtown area. We are family owned and operated and proud to call the South home. If you live in Athens or are just passing through we would love for you to visit our showroom and warehouse. We love meeting our customers in person and getting to know them on a personal level. We appreciate your support of our Southern company that is designed and printed right here in the good ole’ south. Have a Southern Inspired Day!
