Cooking For Halloween:

Halloween is a fun, exciting holiday that is enjoyed by almost everyone. It is a time when adults can dress up and be silly and a time when children are encouraged to over-indulge on sweets. It is a time for fantasy and trickery. It is also a fabulous time to get creative in the kitchen!



Halloween Cooking for your Family

Moms and dads are always looking for new and inventive ways to bring their family together around the dining table. Halloween is a perfect excuse to get fun and creative in the kitchen. Everyone will look forward to attending a themed dinner that is both delicious and entertaining! All it takes is a little creativity. When you think about creating a special Halloween dinner, think about colors and shapes that are a perfect fit for the holiday. Take a traditional family favorite but transform it into black and orange coloring. Use a tried and true recipe but modify it to contain shapes like ghosts, skeletons, witches, or tombstones.



Halloween Cooking for a Party

Many of the same ideas and themes mentioned above can be used when cooking for a larger group instead of just your family. With the help of some food die and a cookie cutter, traditional appetizers, main courses, and deserts can quickly be turned into a talked about hit at your Halloween gathering. Try taking standard finger sandwiches and cut them in the shape of a ghost. Put olives in a jar and label it "Gremlin Eyeballs". Mold dough into the shape of a skull for an easy, eerie bread. The possibilities are endless and are only limited by your imagination!



Kids and adults alike love the fun and fantasy associated with Halloween. It is easy to incorporate the feel and themes connected with Halloween to make a meal special and memorable. This is one celebration where nothing is really over the top. The wilder your ideas the better they may be received. Start a new tradition this Halloween with a well thought out and fun to execute Halloween meal.
