I was at Walmart today and as I was going through the check-out stand, I noticed a small booklet of Halloween recipes. It was kind of expensive for such a little book ($4.00), but I figured I had to have it since it was, after all, for Halloween. It just wouldn't be right for me to pass it up. It's called 'Halloween Food, Fun & Crafts', and it has some very cool looking treats on the cover. It has everything from dinner recipes ('Spaghetti and Eyeballs, with meatballs for the eyes; 'Slimy Sliders'), to appetizers ('Freaky Fondue'; 'Tasty Tombstones'; 'Buzzard Claws with Swamp Dip'), desserts and treats ('Poison Apple Cupcakes'; 'Great Pumpkin Cake'), an awesome 'Witch Hat' centerpiece made out of cocoa-flavored crispy rice cereal, and drinks, otherwise called 'Potions & Punches', such as 'Sinister Slushies', 'Swamp Punch', and of course, 'Witches Brew'. There is even a section on making crafts. You can make a 'Monster Fur Scarf' that has clawed feet on the ends, 'Spooky Supperware', and 'Glass Bead Spiders'. I might just have to try making these little spiders to place around the house. It also shows you how to make a 'Beaded Pumpkin Gift Box' if you're looking for something to store treats or jewelry in. I will definitely be giving some of the recipes a try this year, and I don't have too long to wait, either. We are almost in September, and All Hallow's Eve is practically creeping around the corner!
How I love this time of year. The days are starting to grow shorter, and the nights are growing cooler. Halloween will soon be appearing all around us. Cool days, orange and red-colored leaves, fall festivals, the smell of burning fireplaces, and pumpkins on porches....you can't get any better than that!

Well Halloween is coming on strong here now. Still not at Target yet...but Homegoods has all their stuff out and it's almost too much to choose from. I've gotten lots of magazines, but I'm still waiting on Country Living which I always enjoy. I haven't picked up the recipe book you spoke of yet though. Although admittedly I don't really enjoy cooking even though I'm not bad at it. But the books sounds great. I can't believe is almost September. The year flew by between last Halloween and this coming one it seems! Hooray for Fall! :o)
I don't like cooking, but I do like baking, especially if it's for a holiday! I might try one or two of the crafts, too. I don't do crafts, but it might actually be fun. I'll have to look for more magazines with Halloween in them. Country Living also has some great recipes, I believe. Yes, it's hard to believe we're almost in September! I can't believe it, but boy does it make me happy!
