My friend Sofia told me when I invited her over for Halloween, "We haven't missed a Halloween yet." And only then did I realize, this is the fourth Halloween we've spent together: we've had two dinners at her house and this is the second Halloween dinner at my house. So I guess we've started a tradition.
My hubbie and I were especially excited because this was the first party we'd be hosting at our new house together. We were extra careful about who to invite, because we only have a certain amount of cups and places to sit. LEAVE IT TO PORTUGAL... however... to try to ruin (!) Halloween for us by scheduling a public transport STRIKE for the same day and half of our guests not showing up due to traffic.
But we didn't let the strike ruin our day... we had fun anyway!
Pumpkin lasagna and "autumn" salad (w/ apples and nuts) were on the main menu...
Halloween carrots with hummus...
A really great chocolate cake recipe in the back and my favorite: headless gingerbread men! Great gingerbread recipe from Martha Stewart and I used strawberry jam for the blood.
Pioneer Woman's cinnamon bread... it was okay.
Eyeballs in the wine glasses...
A bun in the oven costume!!!
Some cool ninjas, angels, "dead nature" and the girl from the ring people hanging around...
Happy Halloween!
