SPOOK-tacular Supper!

Happy November!! How was everyone's Halloween night?! We had a lot of fun! We just stayed in and I cooked a "Spooktacular Supper" for Tyler and I :). It was very delicious!! And Tyler LOVED it! He said he can't wait until Thanksgiving and Christmas to have more "fun food". And he also said"We can have Body Part Pizza once a week if you want" haha He really enjoyed it!! And it was a blast to cook and put together!!! For our Appetizer I made a "Graveyard Cheeseball", the Main Dish was "Body Part Pizza" and for dessert we had "Ghost Poop" (Puppy Chow).
