BOO! It's the weekend before Halloween so mix-up a spooky batch of Halloween cocktails!
INGREDIENTS:
•1/4 cup of honey or corn syrup
•12 drops of red food coloring
•4 cups of your favorite pineapple juice – It needs to be chilled
•6 ounces of frozen limeade concentrate
•3 cups of chilled ginger ale
•10 Wine Goblets
Paint a pumpkin with black chalkboard paint and write a friendly greeting for all who pass by.
Tip: Make your pumpkins last! To keep your carved pumpkins from looking dull as the days go by, rub cut surfaces with vegetable oil to keep moisture in.
Liven up your yard! Don't stop decorations at the porch! Line the entrance to your house or backyard with pumpkins.
Don't be afraid to get creative - Halloween is the one time of year that uglier the better! Get carried away with this day!

I woke up this morning to the rain which is pretty rare in LA so I threw on my Hunter rain boots, ran out the door to grab a chai tea and now I am back and all settled in...I feel like cooking!! There is something about the rain that just makes you want to get all snuggly next to the fireplace with a big bowl of some kind of yummy, comfort food.
My husband is out of town and since I have twisted my friend's arm to come over for dinner and brave the 405 during rush hour traffic I feel inclined to make something delicious for her and I think this ravioli with sauteed butternut squash is the perfect fall dish. Oh my yummy!!!
I can't believe it's been almost a week since I posted anything...I think the holidays are starting to get to me early this year - it's definitely been a busy one! My "To Do" lists are getting longer and longer. OK, I have been going through magazines, blogs and websites looking for some fun Halloween treats and I found a couple of good ones...hope you enjoy these.

Pack your shaker with ice and add the vodka, pumpkin liqeuor or syrup, and half and half. Shake. Strain into a martini glass and garnish with a cinnamon stick. If you're feeling indulgent, put a dollup of whipped cream on top. Go for it, it's almost sweater season.
