Halloween Recipes
because it’s time to start planning…
I can’t even believe it’s already time to start writing about Halloween recipes. What I can’t believe even more is that I’m actually home long enough to do it this year! Since I started The Fairytale Traveler, I’ve always played with the idea of making time for fun, geeky recipes but have just never been home enough to actually make it happen. Well this year is different friends. Starting now I am so happy to announce our “between travels” section where we will be featuring fun, geeky stuff we do at home like cool parties, recipes and games. And what a better time to start than with the pending holiday season! So, I decided to put together a roundup of some pretty cool recipes…
Halloween is a super fun time of year. For me, it’s more than just costumes and candy. Our family longs for Halloween because it marks the near end of a long hot summer in Florida. It really brings on the feels for baking and decorating. Oh and dare I forget the anticipated fall trip!
Every year we take a road trip to the mountains of North Carolina and into Tennessee. We love seeing the fall colors and feeling the brisk air. Oh, we love it so much I can’t even put it into words! It’s the beginning of our absolute favourite time of year! Hiking, baking, family, friends… what more could you want from October-January! So, to get us started on these big plans…
