Pre-Halloween pumpkin party
November 9th, 2011
My sister Jessie, Kevin and I hosted a small Pre-Halloween pumpkin-themed party in mid-October. The plan? Make/bring food that centered around the glorious pumpkin. And boy did we have some good food!
The menu:
Appetizers: pumpkin hummus, sliced apples and ginger snaps with pumpkin pie dip, medjool dates with chopped walnuts and dark chocolate
Dinner: vegan pumpkin pistachio pasta, vegan pumpkin pizza, vegan smoky braised Mexican pumpkin over brown rice
Dessert: pumpkin bread, vegan pumpkin brownies (this recipe is AMAZING!!)
The spread!
The pups working hard to look cute in hopes of some snacks

We had a yummy time eating our way through the pumpkin food and boy were we stuffed at the end. Lola was wiped out as well…
The tired little hostess
For the party Kevin and I got some decorative mini pumpkins to put on the table and Lola could not let them alone. So the next day I decided to let her check one out and she was in heaven…
