I hope everyone had a fun and safe Halloween! I did!
I started off the day getting my outfit together so I could participate in the Halloween fun and hand out candy. I dressed up as a disco girl. I've actually worn this the last 5 years because I secretly wish I could rock the Blonde fro wig everyday of the week!
After I was all situated it was time to dress the dogs. Solera was Frankenstein and Cappy was a Bat dog.
The association organized trick-or-treating in our building. Those condos that wanted to participate put a note on their door so the kids would know which doors to knock on. We had about 20 kiddies show up at our door and they were all very cute!
However, I think our candy bowl scared more than a few of them. We thought it was innocent enough...
until we realized when you stick your hand in the bowl the skeletons head moved and it eyes glowed red. I hope we didn't cause any nightmares:(
After all the Halloween night fun, I started on dinner.
I had an acorn squash sitting on my counter from my last CSA order and it was screaming to be prepared like Iowa Girl Eats stuffed acorn squash.
However, I stuffed my squash a bit differently. I prepared some ground turkey using taco seasoning. I also prepared some Stove Top following the directions on the package minus the butter.
Next I put a scoop of cooked ground turkey in the cooked squash and topped it with some prepared stuffing. Then I placed the stuffed squash back in the oven to broil for a couple minutes...and voila...
Great meal! The husband even liked the squash!
This dish will be making a repeat performance in my kitchen:)
And it's a Wrap
After dinner all I felt like doing was slamming my head into a pillow and calling it a night. Looks like I wasn't the only one feeling exhausted...
It was a long day for the pups too!
Question:
Do you dress your pets up for Halloween?
What a great holiday :) The puppers look adorable. I would dress Frank up, but he doesn't let me ! Stuffed squash is one of my favorite meals- so many ways you can do it!
