Halloween Menu Hot Artichoke Dip
with
Homemade Crostini

Italian-Style Meatloaf
or
Turkey Loaf

Sour Cream Smashed Potatoes

Buttered Edamame

Mammy's Apple Crisp
with optional
Vanilla Ice Cream

Preparation Notes: If making homemade ice cream, it can be made up to a week ahead and stored in the freezer. The meatloaf or turkey loaf, as well as the artichoke dip, can be assembled one day ahead and refrigerated. Make the crostini, cool, and store in an air-tight container. The apple crisp can be made the day before and refrigerated, or in the morning and kept at room temperature. If refrigerated, allow about two hours to come to room temperature before serving. The day of the event, start the meat or turkey loaf one hour before dinner, allowing about fifteen additional minutes for the turkey version. The artichoke dip can be baked at the same temperature, adjusting cooking time as needed, and served while you cook the potatoes and beans, both of which take very little time and effort. As stated in the recipe, the edamame can be cooked in the microwave. With this meal, you can relax and enjoy the party.

Sue's Spooky Halloween Menu
Submitted by Sue Cabral

First I made your Meatloaf, without the sauce and after shaping it into a log (I finessed it a bit so you could see the indentations of head/arms/legs) I wrapped it with the bacon slices to make a 'Mummy Meatloaf'. On the side, I served 'Witches Fingers with Fleas', which were frozen whole green beans sautéed in a bit of butter and sesame oil and tossed in a tablespoon of toasted black sesame seeds (the fleas) at the end. And I made 'Swampy Smashed Potatoes', using your Mashed Potatoes and Garlic recipe. I substituted the small onion with some finely chopped green onion, used small red potatoes (instead of the white potatoes) and left the skins on, then just smashed them as opposed to a good mashing, and mixed in a small bit of green food coloring.
