Sugar & Spice by Celeste

It's that time of the year again...Time for all the ghouls, ghosts and goblins to come out and play tonight!  It's also time for our annual Halloween shindig.  What a great time we had this year, eating fun Halloween-themed food and spending time together in our silly costumes.  Although the party was a little last minute this year, we still had a blast.  Friends and family came dressed up in their best costumes - There was a pirate, a graduate, a ghostbuster, Little Red Riding Hood, an "obnoxious football fan", a gypsy, and even Jason and Chuckie came in super scary costumes to name a few.  I dressed up as a "Mysterious Masquerader!"  The party menu was tons of fun to prepare, as usual.  I whipped up a few favorites from past parties, like Witches' Wands, Nutty Ghosts, Kidney Stew (aka Chili) and Mummy Dogs.  I also added a couple of new recipes to the mix, like Blood Punch and an awesomely cute little Nacho Flavored Cheese Ball. ...

Boy oh boy, do we love Halloween time around our house!  We look forward to our annual Halloween bash every year, and this year was no exception!  I knew it would be hard topping the " Blood Fondue Bar " from last year, but I think I may have pulled it off this year with yummy tricks and treats!   The menu consisted of: Forked Eyeballs Mummy Dogs Slime-Covered Apples Pumpkin Apple Spice Cake Blood-Splattered Popcorn Secondhand Swabs Witches Wands Nutty Ghosts Kidney Stew Bat Brew (aka coffee) Sounds yummy, right?!? I was so happy that so many of our family members got to come.  My sisters, and my aunt, uncle and cousin even came from out of town.  I couldn't have pulled the party off without their help! We were excited to dress up and have some fun with everybody!  After all, you're never too grown-up to put on a costume and party, right?? Here are some fun shots from the night...I'll start with the food: Slime-Covered App...
