In case you hadn't heard, Saturday is Halloween. So, yes, eat your weight in candy and definitely watch Hocus Pocus, but also cook up some sweet (and savory!) tricks and treats:
Friday Night: Spooky Cocktails
Maybe you're dressing up tonight or maybe you're holding out for tomorrow. Either way, shake up something ghostly to kick-start the holiday weekend.
Saturday Tricks: Spicy snacks
Chili powder and Tabasco sauce give this addictive popcorn, tortilla chip, and nut mix a spicy kick when you least expect it.
Saturday Treats: Bite-size sweets
Consider these mini pumpkin cupcakes, topped with cream cheese frosting, a prelude to all the candy you're about to consume.
Saturday Dinner: Scary Pasta
Pair deep, dark, black squid ink pasta with butternut squash and orange bell peppers for the ultimate All Hallows' Eve dinner.
Sunday Brunch: More Chocolate
You probably ended up eating too much chocolate last night. What's the cure for the sugary hangover? Hair of the dog:
Sunday Dinner: The Great Pumpkin
The day after Halloween festivities should involve strict laziness. So lounge around while this bread and cheese-stuffed pumpkin bakes away in the oven. Served with a simple salad, it's fall comfort food at it's best.
