Beetlejuice Themed Dinner
It’s time for another Halloween-themed dinner, and this time we’re dining with the ghost with the most – Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice is a Halloween staple in our household, and a movie we find ourselves quoting all year round. There are a lot of great food scenes in this movie, so it was a lot of fun creating this menu for our Beetlejuice Themed Dinner! It’s Showtime! To kick things off for our Beetlejuice Themed Dinner, I served some roasted roaches as an appetizer. Don’t worry – they aren’t REALLY roasted roaches. These delicious morsels are actually cheese stuffed dates wrapped in bacon. I found the idea and recipe over at Castellon’s…

Ghostbusters Themed Dinner
It’s not Halloween in our household until we’ve watched Ghostbusters, and this year we enjoyed a special themed dinner to celebrate! One of my favorite Halloween memories was the year we all dressed up as Ghostbuster characters for trick-or-treating. Eric even constructed an Ecto-1 wagon for Gemma to ride along in while we jammed to the Ghostbusters theme all night. We had a blast! For this reason, Ghostbusters will always be a Halloween staple in our household. For our Ghostbusters Themed Dinner, I wanted to embrace some quintessential dishes from New York City that appear in the film. I also wanted to create some “slimy” and “marshmallow-y” treats inspired by…

Casper Brunch and a Movie
Today, I’m sharing our Casper Themed Brunch to celebrate National Pancake Day on September 26th! We typically enjoy fun themed dinners in our house, but to take advantage of this pancake-loving holiday, I switched things up and planned a brunch menu instead! And because now is the time to celebrate all things Halloween in our house, I decided to give our brunch a fun Halloween twist while we enjoyed the movie, Casper! What does Casper and brunch have to do with each other, you ask? In one of my favorite scenes from the film, Casper whips up an INCREDIBLE breakfast for his new housemates on their first morning together. You…
