Halloween Headway

I must say that as far as Halloween parties go,
I tend to lean toward the smiling pumpkins cookies
as opposed to the bloody hand jello mold kind.
Don't get me wrong, it is not that I don't think
the bloody hand jello mold or gummy worm 
infested drinks are not creative, 
it is just that I would rather not feel 
trepidation while picking up a 
party snack from a tray!
With that in mind, here are a few
ideas I came across for those who
desire a friendlier type of celebration.

Labor Day Results ~ Just Peachy!

So here are the results of the rustic
Tomato~Ricotta Tart 

The Rosemary Lemon bread with the smoked
Goat cheese made for a delicious appetizer.
The olive oil crust was crisp and a perfect vehicle for the
ricotta cheese which was smooth and creamy.
As we enjoyed the fresh tomatoes, the smell
of the Peach Croustade filled the house
with scents of fall.



Thank you Cowgirl Chef for inspiring our holiday ~
Good food, good wine and wonderful memories.
