A Dutch Baby Apple Pancake for the win!
We
made up a big 'ole pot of chili and brought it over to our friends
house to share. She made some yummy cornbread muffins to go along with
my chili and we washed it down with good 'ole Sam Adams.
The children got dressed up in their costumes and
skipped off for a little trick or treating while we sat around the
fire-pit along with good 'ole Sam Adams.
When the children pooped out we scooped them up and took them home where
they sorted out their candy and we all watched A Nightmare Before
Christmas. It's our annual tradition. It doesn't matter where we go
trick or treating or who we go with. All that matters is that when we
come home and it's just the four of us we sort our their candy and watch A Nightmare Before Christmas.
Do you have a Halloween tradition? Did your little ones bring home a ton of candy that will more than likely last them the entire year? Mine did. I plan on being the most popular yoga teacher with all of the candy that I bring in to the studio.
~ Enjoy!

Thanks Joanne! The kids really get into the scary costumes for Halloween. Natalie especially. She has never wanted to be anything cutsey or pretty for Halloween.
ReplyDeleteThanks MJ! Isn't he a cutie ;)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your dad. Hope he had a good day!
Oh my goodness, those are some scary costumes (the kids, I mean LOL). You and your husband look so cute together!
ReplyDeleteThanks! It's really handy for baking and the kids love their apples sliced really thin for snacking.
ReplyDeleteYes, these were very much like Dutch Babies.
ReplyDeleteWhy would anyone want to make anything apple without it?! It really is a time saver. Three is better than one if you have 2 helpers. Think of the apple pies you could whip up!
We're not huge fans of Halloween around here, except for the candy. We have mostly Thanksgiving and Christmas traditions. But we do love The Nightmare Before Christmas!
ReplyDeleteToo bad Halloween is not common in New Zealand so I dont have anything to share, I only see this on movies and TV shows anyways it is good that it is slowly becoming an event here, last two years I saw some kids doing their trick or treat.
ReplyDeleteLove the photos. Pancakes look so good. Yum!
ReplyDeleteLove the picture of you and your fighter pilot! In fact, I love all of the pictures! :) We celebrated Halloween with the in-laws this year. It's dad's Bday, so we try to be here for that . Should have made him these pancakes, but I slept in and by the time I got up, everyone had already eaten. :) They look delicious so I'll make them when we get home.
ReplyDeleteFun in the kitchen with apples-love the picture! The idea of apple pancakes does make my mouth water. Perfect for the fall. Looks like the whole family really got into the spirit of halloween and that all had a great time. Enjoyed this post!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a variation on Dutch Babies for the pancake?
ReplyDeleteAnd, no idea how anyone makes apple goods, be it sauce, butter, cake, pancakes, or anything else, without a corer-slicer-peeler gadget. I certainly wouldn't have the patience without mine, and my mom must agree, because last time I looked, she had three in her cupboard!
walking here with a smile. take care.. have a nice day ~ =D
