Halloween Candy Ice Cream Cake
We’ve all been there in our childhood: In the after trick-or-treating candy coma. The tricks and treats are over, we’ve poured our mountains of candy treasure out of our pillowcases and traded Sweet Tarts for Rolos, Twix for Reese’s peanut butter cups, thrown off our tiaras and pulled back our masks and chowed down on our sweet earnings until it happens. The dreaded coma. And then we can’t even look at our Halloween candy again for at le... Read More
Ghoul Face Flatbreads
BOO! Did these Ghoul Face Flatbreads scare you? Thankfully, these little guys don’t bite – but they taste delicious. Just a Pillsbury thin crust pizza dough, some olive oil and sea salt and a goblin green dipping sauce (a.k.a., charmoula) and this appetizer is the fright of the Halloween party! Muhahahahaaaaaaaa… [gallery title="HOW IT'S DONE"] [recipe] Need more Halloween recipe options? Check out this collection! [collecti... Read More

It’s a…Monster Bread!
So, remember when I made a bread with a cute panda face in it, another bread that looked like watermelon and another bread that had an OMG adorbs owl face in it? Good times. This bread? Yeah… not one of those times. This bread – let’s call it Monster Bread, though it went horribly, horribly wrong, like a bad laboratory experiment – is what I shall hereafter call a Major Fail. Before you shriek in terror at the hideousness that is t... Read More
Candy Corn Cheesecake
It’s almost time for my favorite holiday of the year: Halloween. If you’re having a Halloween party or just going to one, it’s always good to bring a Halloween-themed treat. Beyond the Halloween look, it’s also a good idea to make sure it tastes good! My Candy Corn Cheesecake is both fun and delicious. The layering effect makes each slice look just like a piece of candy corn. While it does require a bit of patience to get the right lo... Read More
Boo! Jack O’ Lantern Cupcakes
Hocus pocus! Abracadabra! Wingardium leviosa! These are pretty great names for spells (and one of them is the title of the BEST HALLOWEEN MOVIE EVER. I love you and your witchy self, Bette Midler). But they’re completely unnecessary to make these magical Jack O’ Lantern Reveal Cupcakes inspired by Not Your Momma’s Cookie. All you need is a box o’ Betty Crocker cake mix, some food coloring, a mini pumpkin cookie cutter, some crea... Read More
Apple-Green Tea Cocktail
In the summer, everyone I know seems to love drinking John Dalys. It’s basically the cocktail named after another pro golfer, the Arnold Palmer, but with booze: Iced tea, lemonade, and usually a sweet tea flavored alcohol (or plain vodka). Now that the weather is cooling down a bit, these sweet tea drinks don’t seem appropriate to me. I wanted a tea drink that was a little more complex and seasonal. I came up with this Apple-Green Tea Coc... Read More

Meatball Ogre Eyes
When hunting ogres, it’s very important to make sure you use the whole animal. After all, slaying an ogre is an especially daunting task and to just take the most prized cut (The Ogre Sirloin) would be a huge mistake! One of the best snacks that the ogre has to offer is right smack in its noggin’. Forgotten for many centuries, baked ogre eyeballs used to be a real delicacy amongst the royals. Now you can make them at home! Ok. Obvio... Read More
Fruit Jack-o-Lanterns
Wait a minute: Jack-o-Lanterns….with fruit? Oh heck yeah, with fruit! Unless you're Hulk Hogan and can lug 439 pumpkins around, I say go the lighter route and carve some fruit and veggies instead. Plus you can eat the innards and be all healthy and stuff. These little lanterns are pretty genius because they are so small, you really only need a pairing knife and a spoon or ice-cream scoop to do the dirty work. I even used a straw on one lant...
