I love Halloween, do you? I think it is such a special time for children and costumes and candy....and that is exactly the way I view it.
I have chosen to post two Halloween recipes from the Gooseberry Halloween cookbook. Hope you enjoy them!
~*~
"Mauled" Apple Cider
A spicy hot beverage that mummies will love...daddies too!
~*~
2 qts apple cider or apple juice
1/4 cup sugar12 whole cloves
6 whole allspice
4 (4 inch) cinnamon sticks
Combine all ingredients in a large saucepan. Over low heat, heat to boiling. Boil 3 to 5 minutes; remove and discard spices. Serve hot. Makes 16 servings.
~*~
Hungry Monster Sandwich
Feeds one monster....or 12 to 14 mere mortals
~*~
1 extra long or 2 regular loaves Italian bread

1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Such a cute little witch doll Barb! I love her outfit!
ReplyDeleteCan I get two of those Hungry monster sandwiches to go? I think there might be a hungry monster in my tummy right now and it's really growling to be fed, and those sam-iches sound mighty good!!
Have a fun weekend Barb!
hugs,
Sherri:)
Love the witch and the hungry monster sandwiches.
ReplyDeleteI would sure like to have a large slice of it..it's lunchtime and I'm hungry.

ReplyDeleteLove the witch!! Did you make her?? She has a very mean little face, true to form!
Love these recipes! Love Gooseberry Patch. I have two of their 'throw quilts' and they get softer with each washing. Couldn't live without them!!
Have a wonderful weekend!! :-)

Oh Barb, I LOVE your little witch!! She is so cute, and I just LOVE her shoes too!! Now, where can I get myself a pair of those?! (0; That monster sandwich sure sounds good too! ~tina
ReplyDeleteHello Barb, your Halloween witch is a hoot. Your cider and monster sandwich sounds easy and so good. I have to feed a crowd very often. In fact, I have so much company in October, I have had very little time to visit my blogging friends. sigh!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day,
Hugs, Jeanne
Isn't she precious! The sandwhich sounds really good right now. Yum! ;)
ReplyDeleteThat sandwich sounds fab. I make a similar one but must try this one. They are great to take to our fellowship meals or Bible study evenings.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love your scary witch and all the neat things you have for Halloween! The witches hat and crow are really neat! Love the recipes! I walked into Cracker Barrel last night and saw some of the Gooseberry cookbooks! They really are wonderful! Thanks for the recipes!
ReplyDeleteHi Barb! Yes, back again! I didn't know you had a cocker spaniel too! We'll have to arrange a play-date for the two! (0; Have you shown pictures of yours before? ~tina
ReplyDeleteYour witch is just absolutely precious. I love her. She is the cutest one I have ever seen. Your recipes sound wonderful too. Thanks for sharing. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteHi Barb! Oh, I'm almost scared! Naw, that little witch is adorable! :)

Shelia ;)
This is too cute! Loved the recipes - now when do we eat?!? ☺ Diane
ReplyDeleteToo cute! I think that I have enjoyed the time leading up to Halloween much more this year because of blogging! Have a blessed day!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute witch! She's almost too cute to be scary! But faced with her on a dark night, I might change my mind.
ReplyDeleteBrenda
Adorable witch. I just love her pigeon toes:)
ReplyDeleteJoyce
Oh Barb the witch is a scream! The recipe titles are just hilarious. I have one hungry monster to feed myself. Thank you so much for joining the party! It is so wonderful to see what others are doing and I know you have not felt well and I really appreciate you!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Sharon
You're right about that face on that witch - and for a witch, she sure has beautiful hair...look at those waves ;-)
ReplyDeleteI appreciate your posting those recipes...especially the sandwich sounds so yummy!
Have a nice weekend,
Doris ;-)
I need to get busy and post some of my Halloween stuff.

Ok, you're going to think I'm crazy but as soon as I saw that cute little witch I thought, "She reminds me of someone." I've been sitting here staring at her and it finally came to me. Those lips, those eyes...Ruth Buzzie? the lady from Laugh In all those years ago? Now I have to go see if I can finda photo to confirm my suspicions.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Dawn
Those recipes sounds good. I just love that witch, she is too cute.

I absolutely LOVE that beautiful Halloween witch!!! I haven't seen that Halloween Gooseberry Patch book. I bet it is great!
ReplyDeleteBarb. I love that witch and her pointy shoes! Dawn thinks she looks like Ruth Buzzi, I think she looks like Lily Tomlin. LOL
ReplyDeleteGotta try that monster sandwich.
hugs, Sue
Barb, love the witch! Did you make her?
ReplyDeleteGotta make one too!
