Halloween Themed Goodies
Halloween, scarily enough, is just around the corner and I'm thinking that it would be a great idea to bring in some goodies that I can share with my office. I've been rather remiss in ever bringing in any treats and I think this would be a fun thing to do, especially since the end of the fiscal year is coming (September 30! ARGH!) and we're all a little stressed out.
Save the Guts: Roast Your Pumpkin Seeds
Before you throw out the guts of that jack-o'-lantern you've carved, try this basic, healthy recipe for roasted pumpkin seeds.
Pumpkin seeds are loaded with nutrients. They're high in both plant sterols, which may help lower cholesterol, and phytochemicals, which promote prostate health.
Cute Halloween Treats
I remember last year Toxxic was needing ideas for her son's preschool party. So today when I saw these Halloween recipes from Hershey's , I thought I would post them just in case this year other Popsters needed ideas or just wanted to make these for your own family or co-workers.
You can find the recipes here:

My Out Of This World Delicious Halloween Cake
I just wanted to share this OUTSTANDING Chocolate Cake recipe I used to make my awesome Halloween Cake with!
I decorated it with a luxurious chocolate frosting all over, sprinkled with some coconut (dyed in 2 drops of food coloring), along with 2 "maizena" cookies dipped in the chocolate frosting for the cake as tomb stones with mini chocolate kisses aligned around the graves, sprinkled with crushed chocolate crackers as the dirt and a cone shaped chocolate glued by the icing on a chocolate frosted maria biscuit as a witches hat!
I swear, I don't think I've ever tasted a cake so chocolatey as this one, so creamy, so pure...!
Delilicious: Marshmallow Sprinkle Skulls
After seeing BabySugar's ghostly cupcakes, I wanted to bake something Halloweenish for my wee ones. I was thrilled when I found these simple and adorable marshmallow skulls – a perfect decoration for a Halloween baked good. With only a bag of marshmallows, color sprinkles and a knife, I turned a regular marshmallow into a spooky skull.
Rum Pumpkin Cupcakes
Every weekend I have this little obsession of browsing through the recipes of Bon Appetit, Gourmet, Martha Stewart & Sunset magazines in search for a little inspiration or a recipe that is unique and fun. This Sunday I had a hankering for something Fall, Halloween themed and Sassy. Something that I could easily ship to work to feed my coworkers and something that I could add a personal twist too.
Jell-O Jiggler Jack-O'-Lanterns and Bats
Tired of the same ol', same ol'? Almost every Halloween soiree is guaranteed to offer up candy and caramel covered apples. Take the opportunity to serve up something refreshing, fun and super easy to make.

Delilicious: Monster Candy Eyeballs
I know it is only a short while before my lil ones come home with bags of treats, so I wanted to try to make my own candy! Epicurious had a great recipe for a frightful version of buckeye candy; traditionally it is a peanut butter ball that is then coated in a thin layer of chocolate. With a little creative dunking and a bag of M&M's, these candies are transformed into a spooky, yet, scrumptious monster eyeball.
Halloween Dinner
While most people were out either trick-or-treating or swiping some of their kid's candy, I decided to take the opposite route and make myself an impromptu healthy dinner.
What you see is:
- roasted vegetables
- mashed yams
- steamed asparagus and zucchini
- quinoa
As some of you may know, I am no chef, so all of this delicious food was really easy to make.
Roasted Vegetables
Zucchini, carrots, potatoes, onions, and sweet potatoes with olive oil, rosemary, thyme, sea salt and pepper, baked for about 20 minutes.
