I was so excited to see this topic. My favorite holiday is Halloween! It was always a big one at my house not only because it’s such a fun holiday, but because it’s also my mother’s birthday. Growing up, I remember Halloween always being an anticipated event. For years my family had a yearly Halloween party, and everyone would be in costume. My sister-in-law always made the best Halloween-themed food that made everyone smile.<\/p>\n

These days we don’t have big family parties, I have small ones with my immediate family. To me Halloween is always a time to celebrate. I decorate my home (some decorations I love so much that they stay out all year long) and make Halloween and autumn-themed food. While I’m a huge fan of horror movies any time of the year, watching them in October makes them even more fun.<\/p>\n

When it comes to making food, I can follow a recipe, but it’s rare that I make up my own. This is a really simple one that I enjoy (not sure it can actually be considered a recipe). I don’t drink, so this is one of my favorite alcohol-free refreshments with a Halloween twist.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Use sticky paper to draw jack-o-lantern eyes, noses, and mouths.<\/li>\n
  2. Cut out the jack-o-lantern features and stick them to clear glasses or cups.<\/li>\n
  3. Fill the cups with carrot juice.<\/li>\n
  4. Add lemon juice, if desired. I usually squeeze 1 or 2 lemon slices into each cup.<\/li>\n
  5. Sprinkle with black pepper, if desired.<\/li>\n
  6. Add a celery stalk to the glass. Keep the leaves on the stalk for decoration.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Here’s a photo of the finished drink:<\/p>\n
