We had an unconventional dinner tonight including snacks. We often do on game nights because it gives us the feeling of being at the game and eating junk food, without actually eating junk food. So, since it is Halloween, we had spooky snacks. We also invited Mom and Dad over to watch the game and have fun passing out candy to the trick-or-treaters. On the menu for tonight:
Shrimp Cocktail with Green Goblin Dressing
Deviled Ham and Cheddar Toasts
These recipes can be found in the October issue of All You (one of my favorites, by the way)
The Green Goblin Dressing was delicious. It is a combo of basil (I omitted the parsley - because I hate it with vigor), avocado, and garlic. Very nice flavor profile and tasted great with the shrimp. I was concerned that we would miss the usual cocktail sauce, but I was surprised and pleased this was not the case. The recipe makes way too much for the four of us, so I am hoping to figure out another way to use it tomorrow (hopefully, it won't go brown before then).
The Deviled Ham and Cheddar Toasts were also very enjoyable. Loved the idea and would try this again with other toppings. Drew and Dad enjoyed topping these with a Habanero Mustard Drew just bought the other day. They seemed to like it.
We pilfered the candy pumpkins for dessert and sat down to watch the game. Not too many trick-or-treaters this year. Mavs 93 - Clips 84.
