Hi :)

Just wanted to drop in to tell you all Happy Halloween!
I hope you enjoy your night and if you are taking your little one(s) out for trick-or-treating (not so fun as an adult as it was when I was a child), be safe!!

See you tomorrow!!
(Hopefully I won't have sore teeth and a be in a chocolate coma...)

halloween roundup :: drinks

Hi :)

Last week, I shared a couple of Halloween roundups with you: sweet treats and appetizers.
Today I'm back with another roundup for some Halloween themed drinks!

Firstly, let's start with some kid-friendly drinks:

1. Blue Slime

Made with Jell-O to give it the slimy texture.

2. Spooky Vanilla Shake

Looks and sounds yummy!
You can even separate the shake into 3 equal parts and die one portion yellow, one portion orange, and leave one portion white and make this 'Candy Corn' milkshake.

3. Swamp Juice


4. Cemetery Slime Punch


5. Ghoulish Punch


There are some more kid friendly drinks here as well.


Next, some great looking adult drinks:

1. Bloody Shirley Temple

Ok, so this doesn't have alcohol in it, but I am a 'not so strong' kind of alcohol drink drinker, so I've had these before with some vodka. Bam! Alcoholic Shirley Temple.

2. Spooky Halloween Spirits

This link will take you to the recipes of all 3 drinks that you see in the picture above.
In the small glass is called: Ghost in the Graveyard
In the tall glass is called: Screwed-Up Screwdriver
And in the martini glass is called: Berry Scary Martini

I've never heard of black vodka before, but it definitely makes these drinks more interesting.

3. Creepy Cocktail


4. Bleeding Heart Martini

Looks interesting. But not as interesting as...

5. Brain Hemorage

Now this looks gross enough for an adult Halloween party.

I hope you decide to make some of these drinks for your party :)

See you tomorrow!!

halloween roundup :: appetizers/snacks

Hi :)

On Tuesday, I shared some yummy Halloween sweets that would be great for a Halloween party.
Today I'm sharing some Halloween appetizers and snacks.

1. Eyeball Sub


2. Cheddar Witches Fingers


3. Mummy Dogs


4. Guacamole

This isn't a recipe, but the serving suggestion is brilliant for a Halloween party.

5. Spooky Spider Eggs



I hope you enjoyed this roundup. Your Halloween party will be just that more amazing with these additions :)

Come back next Tuesday for some Halloween drink ideas!

halloween roundup :: sweet treats

Hi :)

Since Halloween is next week, I thought I would share some sweets yummies I found on Pinterest that would be great for a Halloween party.

1. Halloween Krispy Pops

Yum!!

2. Easy Pumpkin Pretzels

I am a sucker for chocolate covered pretzels.

3. Candy Bones


4. Candy Corn Cookies

These look pretty complicated, but it's just a plain sugar cookie dough that is separated and colored with food coloring. Easy peasy.

5. Mummy Cookie Bites

I think it would be safe to keep these away from me... I would eat them all. Seriously.


And that's it! 5 yummy Halloween treats to make and share with your kiddos, co-workers, family, and friends.

Come back Thursday for another Halloween food roundup!
