    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!
