Strange But Good Halloween Recipes

By

If there’s ever a time to let your freak-flag fly*, it’s Halloween.

*Assuming you ever bother to hide it.

This Halloween I’m letting my flag fly in full-on Rocky Horror fashion.  Complete with a costume I cannot believe I’m actually going to leave the house in.

In lieu of a new recipe this week, I thought it appropriate to round up some of my favorite not-so-normal recipes.  Translation: I got busy and haven’t taken pics of anything I’ve made.  Or made much, for that matter.

1. Roasted Pumpkin

Pumpkin itself isn’t all that strange, but I’m willing to bet most of you have never roasted your own.  They’re delicious – 100x better than the canned stuff.  I don’t do it all the time… because patience… but you owe it to yourself to do it at least once this fall.

2. Mexican Pumpkin Pan-lette

This one is strange.  But it’s good.  Flour-less pancake, done up savory-style.  Perfect for the day after Halloween when you’ve exhausted your sweet tooth (if that’s even possible).

3. Pumpkin Beer Bread

Anyone else have an excess of pumpkin beers?  Make bread with it!  This is probably healthier than drinking it… and you don’t have to mess with yeast.  Double win.

4. Pumpkin Rum Bread Pudding

Not a beer person?  No problem!  Cook with rum instead (this is also good with whiskey).  Yo, ho, ho… being an adult on Halloween really is more fun.  I’m not exaggerating when I say this is one of the best desserts I’ve ever made.

5. Pumpkin Zucchini Bread Batter

Enough excess?  This is one of my favorite heathy desserts.  I eat Greek yogurt batter in some form nearly every night.  My sweet tooth needs dessert, and this is the perfect healthy cure.  Not to mention the protein, bro.

Do you think Halloween is more fun as an adult?

Have you ever roasted a pumpkin?

  2. Halloween? What is that even? At least not something Germany was really aware of. I’m probably celebrating inofficially by starting to eat ALL the kabocha months before so that by the time Halloween rolls around I’ve turned into a pumpkin myself. Saves on the costume ;).

  6. Agreed about roasted pumpkin being so much better than the canned stuff. I eat the former almost daily. Canned pumpkin isn’t available here, and truth be told, I can’t say I’m too bothered!

  8. Hahahah love it! Let your freak flag fly! That is true though! I have roasted pumpkin many times, and you are so right, but this time I definitely didnt use it to make it worthwhile, it ended up moulding…..bad planning Tina! Steve and I had bourbon bread pudding a few weeks ago, it was so strong!!!

  13. Yay for breads without yeast! So much faster! Still need to try that beer bread!

    I totally weirded out Dave last night with my whipped goat cheese but he said it was good! I honestly was happy he even tried it ha! I always get the side-eye from him and my fam! 🙂

    Happy Halloweeeeen! I will probably watch one scary movie and pass out before 11. Cuz I work he next day..not because I am old and lame… 😉

  14. I haven’t roasted a pumpkin but I feel I ought to now! Esp since they’re everywhere!! 🙂 I’m not letting my skank out this year because I forgot to pick up a costume and I’m tired. Lol 🙂 Hope you have a great Halloween weekend Laura! Stay out of trouble 😉 -Iva
