Happy Halloween! 🎃👻👽🤖👹⁣ ⁣ Vandaag is het 31 oktober en dat betekent spooky time!👻 Ik was dit jaar van plan om mijn eerste Halloween etentje te organiseren voor vrienden, maar dat kon natuurlijk niet doorgaan.⁣ ⁣ Wel heb ik de afgelopen tijd een aantal Halloween hapjes gemaakt voor thuis. Zo ook deze gevulde paprika's, die ik een paar weken geleden ook deelde. Een soort pompoen uithollen, maar dan héél veel makkelijker en héél veel sneller🎃 En gewoon te vullen met wat je maar wil!⁣ ⁣ Zoek je dus nog iets leuks om te doen vandaag, bijvoorbeeld met je kinderen? Dan is dit een echte aanrader!😊 Fijne dag allemaal!

Unusual coloured cocktails - Grasshopper Green, Bloody Mary cocktails

Beetroot cocktails- This cocktail gives a perfect Bloody Mary vibe to the Halloween theme. Start by preparing beetroot lemonade, by mixing raw beetroot, lemon juice, and sugar. Keep in the fridge for one hour while mixing the mixture at intervals to dissolve the sugar. Now, pour 25ml of this mixture into each glass and mix Aperol, ice cube and top it with Prosecco. Just like this, many other spooky recipes are available on the internet that the adults can try out.
