It's Halloween!

It's Halloween

Time for the Ghosts and Goblins and Witches to be 

out and about!

We like to feed our little ghosts and goblins and witches well

And so we always make treats for Halloween

This year it's cupcakes

My favorite cupcake recipe

Baked in these candy corn decorated cupcake papers

Frosted white, and decorated with real candy corn

Besides our local ghosts and goblins and witches

I'm told that grandgirl Lucy will be a black cat this year

Her package of cupcakes have been wrapped and mailed.

She may be too little to really eat them

But I wanted to start the tradition early

Halloween treats from Nana!

And a tradition that my mother started when I was small

That I continued as well

Chili on Halloween

Daughter Sarah also continues the tradition

Grandgirl Lucy will be the Fourth Generation to enjoy 

the traditional bowl of Halloween chili!

We eat in the breakfast room

Early

For the ghosts and goblins and witches

often come before dark

Big bowls of chili and crackers

Lots of crackers

And for dessert

(besides the candy bar that I always save)

Something pumpkin

Like this tart!

For when I come in

With a bracing cup of hot tea!

Husband Jim, however, gets his first slice right after dinner

So that he can enjoy his second slice with me

when I come in after the trick or treaters are gone!

It's Thursday and I'm joining Susan at Between Naps On the Porch for Tablescape Thursday and Cuisine Kathleen for Let's Dish.
