Halloween Dinner Party

Last night, Matt and I hosted our very first themed dinner party: Halloween! We ate so much food it was crazy, but everything was so delicious, it was hard to stop! Check out the below post to see what the menu was and where I purchased some of the decorations.

Where I purchased decorations:

• Tableware and plastic table cloths from Target. If you order online, you get free shipping and they had decorations like 20% off!
• Blood backdrop: Target
• Candlesticks: HomeGoods
• Bowls, cauldrons, a potion drink holder: King Soopers, they had a sale on their Halloween decor.

The menu was also delicious. I kept changing my mind for what I wanted, and prepared different menus throughout the week, but I think it turned out pretty good:

• Bruschetta 
• Chopped tomatoes, avocado, basil on toasted french bread with a balsamic glaze drizzle on top.
• Brie and pepper jelly roll 
• Brie cheese round with homemade raspberry pepper jelly on top, wrapped in dough and baked at 375 for 20 minutes.
• Chips and homemade salsas
• Olives, almonds, and antipasto plate from Whole Foods
• Orange Fennel Salad
• Orange, avocado, thinly sliced fennel, and shallots with a champagne vinaigrette (champagne vinegar, olive oil, and honey)
• Traditional lasagna
• Pumpkin lasagna 
• Cupcakes and Frankenstein cake from Whole Foods
