Black and Orange Halloween Tablescape

10shares

Halloween is such a fun holiday, although I know this year, it’s going to look a lot different. I don’t usually go overboard with decorations, but I do have fun setting a fun table or two. I think this Black and Orange Halloween Tablescape would please anyone that sat down for dinner. It’s definitely a fun table and the little ones will love it, but I know I’d love to pull up a chair and join them! 
Black and Orange Halloween TablescapeI had to leave enough lights on to take the pictures, but wouldn’t it be fun to add a few more candles to this Black and Orange Halloween Tablescape and turn off the dining room light? I don’t think I’ve ever eaten by candlelight with my grandkids, but I think they’d have lots of fun! Spooky!!

Black and Orange Halloween TablescapeFor fun, I made some ice cubes complete with spiders! I don’t recommend floating spiders for the younger kids. I wanted an orange beverage for the table, so I served orange Gatorade with a splash of 7-Up.

Black and Orange Halloween TablescapeI love when I can set a table without purchasing anything new. You’ll notice I use the black and white plaid plates for just about every holiday. I had no idea when I purchased them a few years ago, just how versatile they’d be. A few festive dishes, simple decorations, a sprinkle of colorful kisses, and a cookie treat at each place setting, this table is ready to party!!

Now please be a ghostly good friend, and pin the image below to your favorite Pinterest board.

Here’s a completely different look, using some of the same chargers, plates, and flatware. I hope you enjoy my Pumpkin Floral Fall Tablescape.

And here’s one more table, geared for the little ones! And a delicious Halloween Lunch that they’re sure to love!

Do you have your Easter Menu set and your shopping done? It doesn’t matter if we host Easter dinner or brunch, you’ll likely find a large platter of grilled asparagus as one of the side dishes! This year it will be served alongside quiche, ham, fruit parfaits, deviled eggs, and cinnamon roll monkey bread for Easter brunch! Click on the link in my profile to see how I make my grilled asparagus.

Easter! Wow, I can’t believe it’s this Sunday! Do you have any Easter family traditions? Ours usually starts off with church, followed by an egg hunt and enjoying either brunch or an early dinner with family and friends. I’ll be hosting a small family brunch this year. I’m still finalizing my menu, but plan on including a delicious ham served with this Brown Sugar Mustard Glaze! You can find the recipe on my blog (follow the link in my profile).

Happy Easter my sweet friends!

Just three more days till Valentine’s Days! I love how this table turned out, with the black and red! I added more elements to it than I normally do, but I was in the mood for a fun bright table! I talked about adding layers to a tablescape in my blog post, if you want to head on over and read it. The link is in my profile.

Muddy Buddies (aka Puppy Chow) isn’t a new recipe. I was curious enough to look it up and read that it started in the Midwest in the early 60’s. 
I’ve snacked on it plenty of times, but had never made it until this week. A few colored M&Ms easily transforms it into a treat for any holiday or occasion!

How adorable are these cute little Honey Bears! They’re a cute treat filled with M&Ms that kids love! And after the candy is gone, the honey bottle can be used with a straw for drinking, or as a bath toy!! Blog link is in my profile.

I don’t do a lot of Valentines decorating, but I do love setting a Valentine’s table!! I know lots of littles that would love to pull up a chair to this table (and enjoy too many conversation hearts).

Happy February Friends! I was going to share a recipe today, but a Valentine’s treat was more appropriate for today! 
❤️❤️❤️
Let me know if you love charcuterie as much as I do! This board was a little bit appetizer and a little bit dessert! The perfect combo served with a glass of bubbly! 
❤️❤️❤️
If you’re interested you can find the recipe for the homemade Valentine’s Toffee Bark on my blog. The link is in my profile.

Setting a table can often feel challenging between Christmas and Valentines or early spring. Christmas has been packed up, but it’s still winter! I do a little Valentines decorating, but usually not until February 1st. Other than a few cozy blankets, pillows, and candles, my home and tabletop typically feel pretty bare the month of January. 
☔️🌧☔️🌧☔️
What do you do to cozy up your home this month? Are you decorated for Valentines es Day? Full on Spring? Or feeling a little bare, like me? 
🌧☔️🌧☔️🌧
And, for anyone who might be wondering..... yes, I love to keep my table set (with at least a runner and centerpiece). And if you happen to pop in and see it fully set, I do that too! I love the look of a set table in my dining room. Now, if this darn covid would go away! I’m ready to host a dinner with friends and family!

Although we haven’t had many friends (or family) enter our home this year, I always love my entry to feel warm and inviting. This table is directly opposite the front door. I switch out very simple decor seasonally and you can  almost always find a candy dish. Not shown (to the right of the table) is my entry Christmas tree! I put up five trees this year. 
❤️🎄❤️🎄❤️
Fun story, a year or so ago, one of my great nephews, filled up a little snack bowl and placed it on the table by their front door. His mom asked what he was doing, and he said, “I want treats for our friends like Nana Ne has at her house.” Melt my heart! @livingmywholelife you have sweet son!

I think appetizer parties are my favorite party to host! Last year we hosted our work Christmas party at our home and I made a very large Charcuterie tray! It was a huge hit! I look forward to being able to host parties again next year and serving up another big tray! 
❤️🎄❤️🎄❤️
I’m always looking for more yummy appetizer ideas. What’s your favorite? 🎄❤️🎄❤️🎄#joyineveryseason ...

Rocky Road! Have you ever made this delicious treat? It’s a tradition in our family and I can’t imagine it being Christmas without it! It’s so simple to make and makes a deliciously sweet gift for friends, neighbors, co-workers, and family. Check out my recipe (the recipe link is in my profile).

I always love coming up with cute ways to wrap it! Each year is a little different but equally as sweet!

A little bit salty and a whole lot of sweet, these Potato Chip Cookies are melt in your mouth delicious! And did you know that calories don’t count in December? J/k, but don’t you wish you could indulge on all the goodies guilt free? These are definitely worth the extra calories at least once a year! Find the recipe link in my profile.

Friends, can you believe that Christmas is in 15 days? I always feel, that no matter how organized I start the season, I’m scurrying the last couple of weeks to get it all done. I’ve given myself a deadline (of this Sunday), to finish all my wrapping and to get my cards (all 250 of them) in the mail. I think I can, I think I can! Then next week I can enjoy some baking and meal planning for when my family is home for Christmas! 
❤️🎄❤️🎄❤️
This is always my afternoon coffee view! I love it and today my coffee mug really reminded me that even though 2020 has been a challenging year, we are truly blessed! 
🎄❤️🎄❤️🎄
How are you all doing? I hope you can all find the JOY in even the smallest things! For me it can be as simple as crossing one thing off my list and sitting in my happy spot enjoying my coffee with the view of my tree!

Don’t you just love a Cake Pop? It’s the perfect fun treat for the little ones and since it’s just a bite or two, it’s a guilt free treat for adults. I love baking with the grandkids, and can’t wait to make these again this year! You can find the recipe link in my profile. 
❤️💚❤️💚❤️
And since it’s #recipeswapsaturday, let’s visit my friends and see what favorites they’re sharing this week!
