…and Corey!
They came over last night to play zombie video games
Joy brought a salad…
…recipe by Joy (the Baker)
She also made hot mulled cider, which I enjoyed In lieu of cocoa
I threw together one of my random soups – carrots, onion, and garlic sautéed in coconut spread
Deglazed with 1/4 box of Chardonnay
Spices – 1 teaspoon each
1/2 teaspoon Season Salt, Sweet Paprika and 1/4 tsp. Ground Turmeric + 2 bay leaves
1 can chickpeas, about 1/4 cup Chipotle Salsa, and 4 cups Veggie Broth – simmered for 2 hours
My two secrets to turning an okay soup into a great one – add a little acid at the end…
…and some mustard too
Extra toppings: TJ’s Grana Padano Parmesan and Vermont Common Crackers
They’re labeled as “bite size” but are actually gigantic oyster crackers!
Perfect with both soup…
…and salad
Time to unleash the monster!
Broiled for about 3 minutes
We needed three hands to operate
I enjoyed a gooey sweet hunk
Verdict? Ghoulishly Good. Everyone was excited to be eating cereal we all weren’t allowed as children, in the craziest form imaginable.
I’ll try them next Halloween with Count Chocoula…
Happy 11-11-11!!! (It should be 11:11 am on the east coast when this posts.)

Ha, I love that you had friends over for a zombie video game night. Look like a lot of fun!
I love how cozy everything looks in this post
The salad looks good, but the soup sounds delicious!
I loved Count Chocoula as a kid – definitely make it with that next time:-)
Happy 11-11-11 to you too!!
It all looks so nummy! My advice… definitely go for the Count Chocoula, it’s right up there with Coco Puffs in my childhood memories (hey I’m Portuguese/German with a little spoiled brat on the side)!
What a fun evening! Joy is adorable.
Everything looks delicious- particularly you’re dessert!
That looks like a great evening with friends and a lot of great food
