Tweet

Ok we are expecting around 50/60 people at our party this year and I have not been well health wise and we just found out I will be having surgery after Halloween ANYWAY..... Because I have not been well hubby decided he would help lighten my load for the party by ordering Pizza and Wings which is fine but i am thinking I need to have some other finger foods for variety. I am thinking

Swedish Meatballs

Cocktail Smokies In BBQ Sauce

Maybe a Lunch Meat and Cheese Tray

A Veggie Tray With Dip

Desserts

Zombie Cake

We A Heart Brain ANd Stomach Jello Mold

and I want to do the Green Rice Krispie Treats in Balls For Rabid Bat Brains


Where I guess I need my help is coming up with names for the dishes or would you guys even bother with that My head is just not in it right now

The house and Yard are Ready now just dealing with my menu

If anyone can think of other easy dishes I am up for ideas

Meatballs - goblin brains

Cocktail Smokies In BBQ Sauce - congealed monster finger joints

Maybe a Lunch Meat and Cheese Tray - flayed skin assortment

A Veggie Tray With Dip - moldy bones with graveyard ashes

**

but if you've been feeling unwell, I wouldn't stress too much about the food - it sounds like you've got a nice assortment of eats, and just get the stuff that's easy to put together.

Hope you are doing better soon!

I'll just cut and paste a few from previous years...

Here's our menu from 2006...

Main:

1 Bat wings (wings from Sam's)
2. Lorena Bobbit Stew (meatballs/wieners in BBQ) new this year to me
3. Mummies & Babies (hots dogs in crescents) I'm also gonna buy the pack at Sam's of the little ones to put around the big ones as babies. He he.
4. Sloppy Goblins (sloppy joes) -
5. Hearts & tongue with beetles & maggots (chicken, tomatoes, red peppers, black beans, rice) I posted this before and I tell you, it's actually extremely tasty. I made it up and it's so easy because you use a crockpot to cook the entire dish.)

Teasers:

6. Fungus Among Us (cold spin dip in a pump bread bowl)
7. Jack's Back (Taco dip in the shape of a jack-o with veggies used to make a mean face)
8. Savory Brain Food (shrimp dip, excellent too. We've done a hot crab dip before but cold is easier and this actually taste better...)
9. Eerie eyes (deviled eggs)
10. Spider cheese spread (cheese balls in the shape of a spider...philly cheese, shredded cheese, ham, wortsy sauce, nuts)

Not making but are cool:
Poppin witch fingers (jalapeno poppers)
Ghosts in the graveyard (chocolate pudding, choco grahams, cool whip, milano cookies)

Desserts:
Black Lagoon (turtle brownies)

Other possible names:
"What ever happened to Joe?" or "what every happened to Stew" (sloppy joes or beef stew...)
Kitty litter casserole (lot of work, looked gross, noone touched it, lol)
Monster mash - chili
Back bones - tortilla rollups with chicken, cream cheese & salsa

Let us know your final menu!
