This reminds me of w/ the Gross Grub cookbook. Even though it's aimed @ kids, it seems like something you might enjoy.

And MarthaStewart.com has so many great Halloween recipes & ideas as well...

Comments (8)Welcome Azzalea! Oh my, what a FUN thing to do!! A Halloween Party in AUG. Love it! Sounds like all of you made such cute things as well as had a great time. (age is irrelevant for things like this.) I have the same problem as Party and Seas...no one to do stuff with. They are all HERE on the Forum and Janie must've lost the bus keys to pick us up and head for your place! :o) I have a feeling it would be so neat to meet you. I'm glad you joined us here, tho, and hope you can post pictures. hugs, Karen...See MoreHalloween Block Party appetizer idea?

Comments (10)I've been making a yummy & easy fruit juice-based Halloween punch every year w/ our kids @ playcamp. We call it "Graveyard Punch", but I think "Vampire's Punch" is even more appropriate. It's basically 1 container each of purple grape juice & orange or pineapple/orange juice concentrates, which create a very bloodlike color, mixed w/ a about 3 liters (1 & 1/2 bottles) of seltzer (I use flavored, unsweetened seltzer; lemon-lime or raspberry ) & a cup or so of mashed strawberries (fresh or frozen), which look a lot like bloody pulp. The finishing touch is a dead man's hand (or 2) made from filling unpowdered disposable gloves w/ water & green food coloring w/ a drop or 2 of red added to make them a yucky green color & freezing them. If the fingers break off when unmolding - even better! I also made an optional garnish of soaked chia seeds - a.k.a. 'eye of newt' or 'frog's eggs'. Martha Stewart has some great ideas on her site. That's where I got the 'dead man's hand' idea....See MoreHalloween Spelltacular Party Time! :)
Comments (20)Thank you again, everyone! Hopefully next year, my Winifred costume will be completed, unless I come up with something else (and I have several ideas) ;). Sushipup, thank you! I haven't done much sewing on the machine until this year (the tulle on the cape and my cloak that I'm wearing for my Winnie costume). Contemplating dressing up Monday night for fun, and I might do Winnie for the fun of it (and that way, my mum can take better photos of me). Hocus Pocus came out when I was three years old and I grew up loving it ever since! Bette Midler dressed as Winnie for her annual charity event, Hulaween, tonight. She has said that it's her favorite film that she's ever done. I even made Book! The one I am pictured with is a second copy I am planning on sending my favorite YouTubers since they LOVE Halloween, too. Here is my personal one I plan on using in the future.

I've used a lot of Martha Stewart's recipes for Halloween parties over the years. A couple of my favorites are Witch Fingers and Man Toes. Can't even count how many times I've made them...both with pretzel dough and cookie dough. I found this pic of them online. They're kind of old news now, but not so much when I first started making them.

5 years agoLinda, hopefully soon. I have to shave off my beard first and not quite ready to part with it-lol).
I'm actually not big on grossing people out with food lol. You all should have seen the food yesterday at the cast party. We sure do love to eat! Stromboli, guacamole, cake, ice cream, cookies (courtesy of me-they're called Cheesecake Cookies; they're flour, sugar, butter, and cream cheese with a splash of vanilla, about 1/4 tsp. or so. )
Here's part of my costume, actually. The jacket's made of two different types of fabric, but you can hardly tell in the photo. I'm even doing the pose my character does in stills from the film. I did a little detailing with gold fabric paint as well. Still lost on who I am going to be?

5 years agoI had mum take some photos of me and I posted them on FB, but here you all go ( I don't have the teeth yet, and I didn't put on the nails, either; Have to fix the earrings, too). I made the dress, shoe covers (crocheted), necklace, (some things I altered and sewed, some just were perfect for it!), bought the broom (tied the green ribbon around it) and the cape is from Spirit Halloween). Book was also made by me. She was a lot of work, but I am touched by the love and support this has gotten. I cannot wait until next Saturday!! I hope you enjoy it, too!
