    Halloween Menu

    Is anyone else doing something fun and cute for lunch or dinner on Halloween?

    My DD likes gross-sounding stuff, so here's my menu for her:

    • Mummy Dogs -- hotdogs wrapped in crescent rolls except I'll cut the dough to make strips so it looks more like mummy bandaging.
    • Deviled Eggs -- self-explanatory
    • Fried Frogs Fingers -- fried okra
    • Blood Sauce -- ketchup

    Each time I would say something, she would whisper: Are we really eating that?  I would smile and whisper back what the food really was and she would say, "That's a good name for it, Mom."

    We're eating this for a late lunch since activities begin at 4:00 p.m. and will keep us busy until about 7:00 p.m.

    The whole point of turkey is to get to the pie.

    We are having our traditional hotdogs and baked beans.  quick and easy for the times halloween falls on a weeknight.    the inlaws come over to give out candy.  They live in a condo so don't get to do it there. 

    have other friends coming over so I will make some sausage too.   have leftover veggies from work for a veggie plate.   have peach dump cake to eat too.   normally the candy is dessert!

    Nope. I don't plan special menus for Halloween. But then I don't feed small children at my house.

    Since we don't have the ability to roast hot dogs, I am putting some with barbecue in the oven. I am making canned baked beans and maybe potato salad as side dishes. We will also have pumpkin custard, caramel apples and roast pumpkin seeds today.
