Tomorrow night my husband & I are hosting a Halloween Fete & Feast. We will make it a potluck. I am finding the meal planning to be a bit challenging as I have certain dietary needs to consider. One guest is celiac and has an egg allergy, while my husband is lactose intolerant.
So here I was looking up recipes for inspiration - I found squash canapes. Gorgeous sounding - pumpernickel bread topped with caramelized butter nut squash resting on goat's cheese. Delicious! The recipe even suggested that I cut the squash into leave shapes with a cookie cutter (thanks, Martha). I'm not even going to serve this appetizer of course, because the celiac would have to loose the bread, my hubby would have to drop the cheese (though goat is supposed to be relatively digestible) and then what's the point?
So here's what I've come up with:
Swamp Sangria - with grapes, apples, wine & sparkling cider
Decomposed salad - features butternut squash cubes and pumpkin seeds
Ribs - guess I'll even make the BBQ sauce
Not sure about something sweet yet - maybe just candy???
Maybe an egg-less/dairy-less/gluten-free sweet will be easy to find.
I'll keep you posted on that one.
