Halloween at My House
It seems we can never buy enough candy to satisfy all the ghosts, princesses, and goblins that ring our doorbell.
Which is a highlight of fall, those cute little faces and sparkling eyes.
For me, it wouldn’t be Halloween without a big bowl of chili simmering on the stove, cornbread baking in the oven, and, always, a plate of utterly delicious donuts.
And, of course, a bowl of “reserved” Halloween candy that somehow didn’t make it into the trick or treater bowl.
29+ Halloween Recipes that are both Sweet and Savory
It’s a fun night to settle in by the fire, watch a favorite movie, and, of course, dash to the door to greet neighbors, ghosts, princesses, and knights.
And smile at the teenagers looking for the house that passes out the “biggest” candy!
