WFD on Halloween night?

[spk926]

Do you have a tradition? DH wants to have chicken parmesan over angel hair pasta. While it sounds tasty I want something easy (but healthy) that won't leave me with a dirty kitchen (I can't stand that and won't have time to clean up right away because of ToTing.) MIL is coming over but she doesn't expect fancy so I'm not worried about that. So give me ideas!

[carolinagirl831]

usually I make a pot of chilli, this year I don't have time, so I am picking up pizza from a favorite local place

[bearbaby]

Crockpot pork chops, baked potatoes and some kind of veg.

My parents will be with us.

DS is too young to have established any kind of Halloween "tradition" meal, but I can see relying on the crockpot in the future for it since it will not require much of any meal prepping during prime ToT hours.

[hermione]

Grilled Cheese and soup.

[tela]

no tradition but I try to make something easy and fast. tonight its 3 packet pot roast.

[Deleted]

Somethig easy so either a crockpot meal or takeout.

[dcn]

I'm picking up a pizza and pumpkin beer:)

[simpsongal]

Growing up we always had baked ziti w/salad (b/c we fed a lot of other kids, it was cheap & easy too).

I'm hosting adults tomorrow and serving homemade fried chicken, smashed potatoes, salad, and apple pie for dessert.

[mrsGreeko]

No tradition here. We've done chili in the crock pot, mummy dogs, take and bake pizza shaped like a pumpkin.

This year we are doing bison burgers with frozen onion rings and frozen corn. Only because FIL is here and we have to make bison burgers if he is in town and that was the only night I could make
It happen.

[stacyb1983]

Pizza before trunk or treat.

[suburbanzookeeper]

We usually do snacks/finger foods like mini sandwiches, dips, meatballs, etc.

[Marmee]

We have been going to parties prior to T or Ting for many years but usually those have chilli. My mom would make spaghetti or chilli when I was a kid.

[Deleted]

We are headed to my mom's so idk whatever she decides.

If we are home pumpkin shaped take and bake and booze!

[Ashley&Scott]

No tradition, just something quick since we'll have less than an hour to eat & get ready for ToT.

DH is getting off a little early today so dinner should be ready by the time M & I get home. We're having TJ's veggie fried rice & orange chicken. It's a favorite at our house

[cincodemayo]

I know as kids we had quick stuff-sandwiches and soup.

This year we are doing chorizo and rice tacos-the only thing we have to do is fry up the chorizo and assemble!

[ssmjlm]

Probably do something for E before TOT and then do something else for us after she's in bed. I need to check with DH on what he's thinking.

[changedname]

I was planning on doing chili.

[dancingirl21]

Huh, I think I "forgot" that it was Halloween tomorrow when I planned our dinner. Anyway, we are having skinnytaste sweet barbacoa pork in tacos with rice. At least it's a crockpot meal so I can just leave it.

[christy082]

I'm making a new recipe for slowcooker chicken tacos.

[wavepool]

Chili always seems like the perfect Halloween food to me (as long as it's cool outside).
This year, we have a football game, so we'll have tailgate food and candy.

I would leave out the chiles in adobo if you have kids eating this, they tend to be pretty spicy.  

[DarcyLongfellow]

My in laws are arriving at my house with barbeque (pulled pork) :-) Hopefully purchased because I'll feel bad if my MIL cooks for us, which she's very likely to do.

DD1 probably won't eat it, but she can have a quesadilla instead.

[redpenmama]

My H has been OOT the last two Halloweens (don't get me started...), so I haven't been able to establish any family tradition since it's just me and the kids. Tomorrow, we are going to have "jack-o-lantern" grilled cheese sandwiches and soup because it's easy and I'm cooking for a toddler and baby.

[SJ]

Candy?

JK, no traditions here.

[meltoine]

We always got pizza when I was growing up. We spent Halloween with my parents last year to we had pizza. I don't recall what we've had in years past. This year we are getting pizza, lol. We have a friends coming over because they live out in the country and we live in an easily-walkable neighborhood, plus my kids are Jake and Tick-Tock Croc and theirs is
Tinkerbelle. I don't feel like cooking for company, so I offered to order pizza.

[halfpint]

My parents usually come over, and we've usually done a very unhealthy (but delicious) chicken tortilla soup in the Crockpot.

This year, I'm going to grab one of those delicious, gigantic chicken pot pies from Costco and throw it in the oven. I'm almost giddy, I'm so excited to eat it.

[dragonfly08]

No tradition. Whatever I make, we eat, then we take the kids ToTing.

[arch01]

no tradition, but we're doing pizza with the neighborhood playgroup.

[CloudBee]

Probably pizza. Frozen or delivery.
