Pinterest Finds: Halloween Party Ideas

If I were to host an all out Halloween party, I'd go with fun, creative and cute themes. I have Pinterest boards called Hostess with the Mostest and Fooooooood!. I love these boards because they feed and entertain my inner Chef and Party Decorator (someday). But anyway, here are some food and party ideas for an awesome Halloween Party.

Great Ideas from creative people!

Wonderful and Healthy Pumpkin Bread Recipe

Hi there! It's FALL (I shouted it, yes I did), it doesn't feel like FALL but it is! So what better way to bring in the season with Fall's mascot vegetable...pumpkin.

This recipe is straight from Good Housekeeping and I'm just going to share the link with you because there wasn't a need for any adaptations. This is seriously one of my favorite recipes so far when it comes to Pumpkin bread. I did use Chobani greek yogurt, Trader Joe's canned Organic Pumpkin and Turbinado sugar, if that makes a difference. Other than that, you are good to go.

Have a great day!!!

Enjoy in the morning with some Smart Balance butter. ;P

Unperfected Recipes: Quinoa & Almond Meal Cookie

I have these cookie pictures I took and I'm really proud of them. However, I'm a still on the fence about sharing the recipe because I know it can be perfected. It was a bit too crumbly and the quinoa flour smell was a bit overpowering. Once again, I've attempted to bake a recipe off the top of my head and go with my instincts. However, my instincts when it comes to baking have yet to be refined. But for now, I just want to share my first attempt pictures with you.

The ingredients of this cookie recipe include:
Quinoa Flour
Almond Meal
Eggs
Shredded Coconut
Chocolate chips
Sweet Leaf sugar
Unsalted Butter
Pinch of Himalayan salt
Baking soda
1 Teaspoon of Almond extract

I have the ingredients down, now I must perfect the quantity of each ingredient and share with you the end result for another post! But for now, enjoy baking your own version of this cookie with the ingredients provided.

Have a great Tuesday and bring in Fall with a pumpkin spice candle! :)
