Happy Halloween!!

Almost every year Zach and I host a small Halloween party for our friends. I love this holiday, its so much fun to dress up and decorate the house. This year we dressed up as our kids, Cecily and Finn. I love how our costumes turned out!

Here is a look at my decorations. I've collected quite a few halloween things throughout the years.


For the food I served mainly tried and true recipes, with two new additions. I love cocktail parties with lots of appys, its my favorite way to entertain.

Garlic pecan cheddar cheese ring

Tastefully Simple Beer Bread


Dilled Shrimp

And my new favorite appetizer recipe, kielbasa bites, from Lauren's Kitchen. OMG they were good and so easy to put together

I decided to serve a "signature drink" and made Spiked hot apple cider in my crockpot. It was a hit!

And Fettunta Prosciutto, always a crowd pleaser

I also had Pumpkin soup, which I forgot to take a picture of and some chips and dip. We had a great time!

Pumpkin Spice Latte

Since I am also making pumpkin bread today, I decided to warm myself up with a homemade Pumpkin Spice Latte. I had saved the link to a crockpot version from A Year of Slow Cooking and have been dying to try it.


I cut the ingredients in half since it was only for me, and made it on the stove top instead of the crockpot. It worked out great! Here is the Original Recipe
Ingredients

1 cup milk (I used skim)
1 T canned pumpkin
1 T white sugar (I used Splenda)
1 T vanilla
1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice (I didn't measure, just sprinkled until I felt it was plenty)
1/2 cup strong brewed coffee

Add all ingredients into a small pot on low heat. Whisk together until warmed through. Garnish with whipped cream.
