Let me just warn you…I love Halloween. Not the gory Freddie Kruger stuff like gross out bloody masks with all manner of hardware and veins popping out, but a whimsical Halloween with lots of carved pumpkins and seasonal treats. It’s a great excuse to throw a party and dress up. The shadows are longer and the days are shorter and you can feel that autumn crisp in the air.

So this Halloween, whether you opt for a party or a family only evening, here’s a few dishes that will get you appreciating the change of season while adding a bit of spice and whimsy to your Halloween.

appetizers:
hard-boiled egg spiders
ranch dressing with carrots and celery
hot wings and drummettes
    

entrees:
stuffed red peppers
pasta with meat sauce
jambalaya
    

snacks and treats:
pb&b smores
old fashioned popcorn
creepy cupcakes

    

Happy Halloween!
