Ghoulish Goodies: Easy Halloween Recipes Review

You can search online for hours and find an endless source of halloween recipes with pictures or you can spend just ten dollars and buy a hauntingly frightful cookbook like Ghoulish Goodies: Creature Feature Cupcakes, Monster Eyeballs, Bat Wings, Funny Bones, Witches' Knuckles, and Much More, which is packed with all of the Halloween recipes you could possibly need.

Ghoulish Goodies includes a perfectly awful blend of sweet and savory treats most of which are easy. Instead of heading for the mall, stay home and create some wonderful Halloween recipes for your friends and family and take the kids with you when you do!

Ghoulish Goodies is a compact paperback book and features more than 70 recipes for everything you need this Halloween. Written by cookbook author and former Food Network website designer, Sharon Bowers, it is packed with her favorite Halloween ideas including recipes for:

• Candy and Goodies
• Cookies
• Cakes and Cupcakes
• Party Food, Snacks and Drinks
• Halloween Supper
• Scary Party Food

If you are like the author, Sharon Bowers, your children love Halloween and it is all YOUR fault. You have, as she did and as I did, no doubt encouraged this excitement from the day they were born so there is nothing else to do but embrace the season and take your children into the kitchen with you.

When you go to the kitchen, make sure that it is with Ghoulish Goodies in hand. Ghoulish Goodies is a child-friendly cookbook. It is not really meant for your children to work alone with but for you to work together with.In order to do that, you are going to have to relax and let them help out in whatever way they are able.

You will have to accept cookies that are not picture perfect but that are made with love. (That's how my cooking always looks, LOL. See my lemon cupcakes here for an example of MY handiwork.)

You may have to tolerate a bit of mess in your kitchen. (The way mine usually looks.)

Ghoulish Goodies has 70 recipes that are good to eat and reasonable for busy people to make. They aren't horribly gross but they are fun. I think you're going to love it.
