The Food
Happy Halloween!
Growing up I have this vague memory of a pizza guy arriving in between trick or treaters. It probably only happened a handful of times, but let’s face it Halloween is a holiday with few culinary traditions and so treat yourself to a pizza pie this week. Try this seasonal twist with pears and dollops of ricotta cheese. And don’t forget to start with a generous spread of garlic oil to ward off any vampires who may stop by.
While living in San Luis Obispo, my nieces, nephews and I focused more on pumpkins to get everyone ready for trick-or-treating and this Curried Pumpkin Soup started making annual appearances. Make the soup for lunch paired with Apple Quesadillas.
If you want a savory twist on chocolate for this candy rich day, try the Chocolate Stout Stew packed with chunks of pumpkin and hearty grass-fed beef. Serve it with a Ginger Vinaigrette Spinach Salad.
After all of the jack-o-lanterns are carved, wash and dry the seeds for Roasted Pumpkin Seeds. Then roast up chunks of sugar pie pumpkin for this elaborate main dish Roasted Pumpkin Salad.
For Halloween morning or as a treat this week whip up these Pumpkin Muffins with a simple not too sweet Maple Cream Cheese Spread.
For breakfast at home or on the go, try the Egg Sandwich with Spinach. Serve it alongside gorgeous Autumn Fruit with a Yogurt Sauce.
