Tessa and I have been busy getting ready for our First Annual Hallween Costume Party. If you can make it, let me know and I'll get you the address and directions. We're super excited and can't wait to see everyone there in their finest costumed attire!!!
Additionally, I'm thinking about having a few people over to carve pumpkins this weekend. I went searching for ideas for some festive Halloween fare. As usual, I was inspired (and overwhelmed) by all the creative people out there. Here are some of my favorites:
Spaghetti is cheap and easy and can feed a huge crowd. I really like this idea from
Jeane Benedict:
Also spotted on
Gordon Gossip and originally from Food Network were these
Vampire Blood Tomato Soup Test Tubes and Ghost Sandwiches
These two creations, Deadman's Meatloaf and Skeleton Dip, were found on
Munchkins and Mayhem. I may just have to try my first meatloaf (a scary thought in and of itself..).
Breadstick Mummy Dogs
Bug-apillar Banana Dude
Oozing Monster Apple Mouths
These Meatall Spiders and Mashed Potato Ghosts are available from
Schwan's.
Finally,
Martha always has something to add to any festive buffet:
Devilish Eggs and Spicy Bat Wings
Finally, we are planning to continue our tradition and make homemade rootbeer and potato doughnuts!! I love the holidays. Sigh...
