Halloween Party Menu

I'm having a Halloween party on the 31st and I'm a little stuck on a menu.

So far I have:

Sloppy Joe's (in crock-pot)-not gluten-free

Taffy Apple Salad

Puppy Chow

Candy Corn

Cupcakes

I would like another entree that is gluten-free and meat free-(some kind of salad maybe?) and another side/appetizer. Does anyone have any inexpensive, delicious, easy dish ideas to feed a lot of people? Please keep in mind this is for 15-16 year old kids. Thanks for any suggestions!!!

Instead of (not gluten free) sloppy joes, how about a crock pot full of taco meat? You can use it for tacos or nachos and have the fixin's with beans and tomatos and onions, cheese (shredded or melted/dip) and such then they can fix it with or without meat and a side of spanish rice or something like that.

. . . and I would like to take a gander at what taffy apple salad is . . . hint, hint . . . :P

If you're looking for Halloween themed recipes, here are a few of my fav's (my kids like them, so I'm sure teenagers would too....)

freaky eyeball appitizer

Open Original Shared Link

snake eyes--sub liqueur for almond extract

Open Original Shared Link

sweet spread/fruit dip (really yummy!!)-served in hollowed pumpkin would be cute

Open Original Shared Link

smores-use gluten-free cookies-pretty quick to assemble a bunch of them, don't have to be served warm, can sit for a while

Actually, my 17th bday is on halloween, and i'm having a party too! For dinner, we are going out for chinese (the local chinese restaurant owner is really nice and makes special food for me), but I was also considering doing gluten-free lasagna, vegetarian in your case. Or, even easier, do baked ziti. But here are snack thoughts:

-chips- tortilla/potato

-popcorn/popcorn balls if you're adventurous

-cake, of course

-gluten-free cookies

Why are the Sloppy Joes not gluten-free? It's easy to make gluten-free ones.

Deviled eggs are always popular on Halloween.

I'm not making the Sloppy Joe's gluten-free on purpose. I'm a vegetarian so I won't be eating them anyways. None of the food will be in the house. I don't mind clean-up and everything. My family and I have just decided not to make them gluten-free. Thanks for the suggestions. Any others would be helpful too!

You ladies have posted some great ideas here!

Some friends are coming over on Halloween and I guess I will make the eyeballs for them - that just looks fantastic!

I made the Pumpkin Cream Cheese spread/dip that Rachelle posted/linked above for a class tonight. Everyone loved it and requested the recipe. I highly recommend it! I served it with apple slices, Mi-Del ginger snaps, pretzels, and graham cracker dippers (it wasn't a gluten-free gathering).

I'm so glad you liked it!! I'm going to make it again for my son's playdate tomorrow. I will give my kids the option to try it on their "spiderweb" pancakes tomorrow too!

      There are eight essential B vitamins. They are all water soluble. Any excess of B vitamins is easily excreted by the kidneys. Thiamine is Vitamin B 1. Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses. Benfotiamine and TTFD are forms of Thiamine that the body can utilize very easily. The form of Thiamine in the supplements you mentioned is...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Thanks very interesting I have to see if I should take these 2 vitamins along with my multi and super Vit B complex or if its too much or would hurt me. I don't have any other health issues but would love to see if this improves anything especially to feel stronger build muscle.

      There are other Celiac genes. HLA DQ 2 and HLA DQ 8 show up in people from Northern European descent.   People of Mediterranean descent have HLA DQ 7.  People of Asian descent have HLA DQ 9.   There's other Indigenous populations that have other HLA genes that code for Celiac disease.   Are you still having symptoms?   What do you include in your diet?  Are you vegetarian? Are you taking any prescription medication?  Omeprazole?  Metformin?   Do you have anemia?  Thyroid problems? Are you taking any vitamins or herbal supplements?

      There are eight essential B vitamins.  They are all water soluble.  Any excess of B vitamins is easily excreted by the kidneys.   Thiamine is Vitamin B 1.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Benfotiamine and TTFD are forms of Thiamine that the body can utilize very easily.   The form of Thiamine in the supplements you mentioned is Thiamine Mononitrate, a form that the body does not absorb well and does not utilize well.  Only about thirty percent of the amount on the label is actually absorbed in the small intestine.  Less than that can actually be used by the body.  Manufacturers add thiamine mononitrate to their products because it's cheap and shelf-stable.  Thiamine and other B vitamins break down when exposed to light and heat and over time.  Thiamine Mononitrate is a form that does not break down over time sitting on a shelf waiting for someone to buy them.  What makes Thiamine Mononitrate shelf stable makes it difficult for the body to turn into a useable form.  In fact, it takes more thiamine to turn it into a useable form.   Gastrointestinal Beriberi is a localized shortage of Thiamine in the gastrointestinal tract.  High carbohydrate meals can result in gastrointestinal symptoms of Gastric Beriberi.  Fiber is a type of carbohydrate.  So, high fiber/carbohydrate snacks could trigger Gastric Beriberi.   Since blood tests for Thiamine and other B vitamins are so inaccurate, the World Health Organization recommends trying Thiamine and looking for health improvement because it's safe and nontoxic.
