8 Cute & Easy Halloween Recipes (2024)

Food

Even though I’m already seeing Christmas decorations and trees displayed in stores, I like to take my holidays one at a time and in order. Since Halloween is coming up next, I’ve been excited to start decorating my house, helping Kora & Logan pick out their costumes, and to start searching for cute and easy Halloween recipes.

Where do I turn to when I need great recipe ideas these days? Pinterest, of course! I can’t get enough of the site especially and I love the app. I’ve found so many great Halloween recipes on the site that I put together a collection of my favorites.

    I used to LOVE Halloween – favorite night of the year. Now, not so much. It was in 2004 when I had to push my daughter in her wheelchair and then have her ask to go home early (it was too much), that I last liked Halloween. She passed away 18 days later and that is the memory of Halloween that will always be the strongest.

    That she couldn’t trick or treat any longer was hugely significant of the way she was feeling and it was and is very sad.
