We decided to start a new tradition this Halloween. We have plenty of traditions for Christmas and even a few for Thanksgiving. Halloween kind of gets the shaft around here. So I decided that from here on out we will be doing a haunted Halloween dinner the Sunday before Halloween. This year we basically just threw it together so next year will be a little more epic!
Coming up with the menu and the names was my favorite part!
We ate earth worms! Have you seen those jello worms floating around the internets? They were cool looking but we will not be doing them next year. They were a whole lot of work. My thumbs started hurting from squeezing them out of the straws. All in all they were cool but not worth the effort. We will be getting a heart mold or something if we choose to do jello next year.
Next we had a garlic snake. You need some protection against vampires, right? I love garlic bread. It makes the meal complete.
Our main dish was bloody bones. Or baked pasta. The same recipe I have shared here. I added extra sauce so they would be extra bloody! We also had Witch Ashes or parmesan to sprinkle over the top.
We ate ghost brains on the side. Or cauliflower as non-halloweenies would say. We also had goblin finger green beans.
To finish out the meal we did bloody murder cupcakes. Box mix and store bought frosting to the rescue!
It was thrown together and we used a plastic tablecloth from Wal-mart but it was so fun! The kids absolutely loved it. They are currently planning our themed Christmas dinner. It was totally worth the effort. And we now have an instant tradition.
