So this year at your Halloween party spook and scare your guest with some creepy, but delicious cocktails.  These haunting drinks will be great additions to the spooky night of fun and are sure to be a hit with your guest. The Black Devil Martini (above) is a martini of a different color, dark rum and a black olive garnish give this drink its midnight hue. Rim the glass with coarse orange sugar to dress it up for a Halloween party. For more great Halloween cocktails read more… »

We finished up our week of post of  “All Things Fall” on Friday, but I did want to share this with you also. Enjoy and celebrate life in style…

Celebrate Halloween

Halloween can be a festive and fun holiday; there are a great deal of things you and your family can do to celebrate. Help your children create their own Halloween costumes, take the children trick or treating, and decorate your home inside and outside just as you would for any other holiday. Make it memorable and special and a holiday to look forward to each year.

Go to Fall Festival

My community like many have celebrations held in the fall. Some call this a Fall Festival and others call it Oktoberfest – I look forward to these every year. It’s an open market where merchants can sell their goods and vendors serve up yummy fall themed food like caramel apples, hot sausages and seasonal beer. A fall festival is fun to attend with friends and family and it also helps to support your local community.

Plan a party with your neighbors

Invite a few friends over for a pumpkin carving party. It will give you an opportunity to reconnect with your neighbors while having fun craving pumpkins. Another idea is to have cocktail party. The party can have fall theme or a Halloween theme. Either way it’s a great way to have fun with you neighbors.

Enjoy Autumn’s Harvest

Fall foods are such a treat and simple to include into your menus. Try making some hearty vegetable soup to enjoy for a fall dinner with neighbors or invite some friends over for a weekend afternoon to share in some homemade apple cider and pumpkin spiced muffins. Look through your favorite recipe books to find some fall recipes to try out on family and friends.

Set the table for fall

The fall season is the kick off to the busiest entertaining season, it used to start with the arrival of Thanksgiving but I think for a number of people it starting more and more with Halloween. In the fall we often look to the warmth of being indoors surrounded by friends, food and family so it’s a must that we create an inviting atmosphere for celebrating and one of the easiest ways to do this is to create a stunning fall table that creates the mood of the season. Create a pretty harvest table with autumn accents that are sure to impress your guest.
