I hope you had a wonderful and safe Halloween yesterday. Just as I expected, almost all of the candy I bought is still left in the bowl. Good thing some of my son's friends were at our house for a while, to eat at least a little of it.
My friend's “Girls Night Out” party was very fun. As you can see by this photo - the food was wonderful too!

| So much good food - and even a regurgitating pumpkin! |
My contribution was a platter with pita chips and Roasted Garlic and Rosemary Pumpkin Hummus, which I mentioned in a September post. If you missed the recipe for this the first time around, just click here. The pumpkin flavor seemed appropriate for Halloween, but it is good any time of year!
Don't forget that Daylight Saving Time ends at 2:00 a.m. this Sunday, November 2nd. To remember which way to move the hands of the clock, think of the phrase, “Spring Forward, Fall Back!”
I hope the rest of your weekend is safe and happy.
Happy Weekend!
What are your thoughts about the practice of changing our clocks for Daylight Savings? Good idea or not??
I made your pumpkin hummus dip and it was fabulous! Thanks for sharing it!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that you liked it!
Deletethe hummus sounds yummy i will go check it out -
ReplyDeletewe had a strange halloween - would you believe our neighbors daughter got attacked and bit by a dog when she went up someone's home aargh (don't people think) my
daughter tried to trick or treat but ended up getting tired and thankful her brother gave her some of his candy -
the bowls of candy left on my front steps did there job and candy was given out -
and finally it was nice going to my sister's for pizza. :)
So sorry to hear about your neighbor's daughter, Marisa! I hope that she is okay!! Glad the rest of your Halloween worked out though.
DeleteWe had tons of kids here, went through more candy than I want to think about. Still, I made sure there were a few extra goodies around the house!
ReplyDeleteYour Girls' Night Out party looks like it was a lot of fun. You all wore costumes, right?
Actually, it was more of a birthday celebration for 2 of the guests - so, no costumes :)
DeleteOur Halloween was very strange. Usually we get hundreds of trick or treaters - this year we got 12. I think it was the combination of the rain and the sad happenings around our town. Now I have tons of candy and toys left! Oh well.
ReplyDeleteI wish October had been different for you Lana. I have seen a lot of recipes on other blogs and Pinterest for using up leftover candy though!
DeleteThat dip with the pitas is definitely up my alley! I am going to check it out!
ReplyDeleteI think you will really like it Katerina. Thanks for commenting!
DeleteMmm hummus. Love it - and it goes very well on cheese sandwhiches too. One of my guilty pleasures.
ReplyDeleteHalloween was a non-event here. Lots of fuss in the shops, which didn't translate to the suburbs.
I hope you like this pumpkin hummus version then! Now that Halloween is over, we are on to American Thanksgiving, with Christmas right behind!
DeleteI know here I show up days later! It seems as if I fall further and further behind. I didn't get anything done yesterday I was in bed with a migraine, something I never get! I know you do and can't imagine getting one of those more than once! Feel much better today and am determined to catch up today!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry about your migraine, Rena ... most likely it was because you have had so much on your plate! Take some time to relax!!!
