    Default Halloween Dinners

    Wasn't sure where to post this, under Holidays or Kitchen so I chose here.

    What kind of meals do you make Halloween Eve, (If you celebrate)
    Do you theme cook? Something quick and easy?

    TIA

    Since the kids just want to gogogogogogogogo on Halloween, we do something quick like spaghetti, or even order pizza.... Keeps everything easy.....

    I make homemade macaroni and cheese on Halloween. My grandma always made it on Halloween along with a pot of homemade chili...nothing like delicious, hot comfort food before or after trick-or-treating. And I like to make either popcorn balls or candied apples too When I was young, sitting at my grandma's kitchen counter eating mac & cheese and chili--wearing a costume--felt like the kickoff to the Holiday season

    I think I would suggest a salad or vegetarian meal to counterbalance all of that candy.

    Default Halloween dinner

    For as long as I can remember (when I was little) my family always had chili, apple cider and doughnuts. It was always a big deal. The tradition we added for ourselves was dh takes kids out with other fathers while I hand out candy.
    Ha! do you ever remember any grownups going TOTing when you were growing up?

    I have gone the frozen pizza route in the past, but I think I'll make chili this year.

    I'm not sure yet. I'm dragging butt today and not really motivated to do *anything*. I have ground beef defrosting in the fridge so maybe meatloaf.
