First of all, HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!  Are you ready for tonight?  Are you ready for an entire day of candy?  My kids get to wear their costumes to school and the whole school does a parade for all the parents.  It’s always fun to see all the different costumes.

I had great plans today to share with you a great last minute Halloween recipe, but somehow life happened and it did not.  So in the spirit of Halloween and the holidays to come I am hoping to give you a head start, unless it is Halloween then it is too late for a head start, but not too late for last minute ideas.

SO I couldn’t resist sharing…it is so true. Because let’s be honest, once Halloween is over doesn’t it seem like everyone skips right to Christmas? But there is an important holiday in between, Thanksgiving. And you know we at Caramel Potatoes, love food giving us a love of Thanksgiving. And don’t forget Black Friday, I think it has become a bigger deal than Thanksgiving. I do love a good Black Friday, I do get really excited about it and look forward to it every year.

Now onto the recipes and ideas….
