If we know you as well as we think we know you, you probably already have everything you need to recreate this eerie mood lighting. What’s that, you ask? Empty wine bottles. Lots and lots of empty wine bottles.
The folks over at Style Me Pretty threw a Halloween party for grown-ups and they added all the drama and elegance you’d expect. They went all out with ribbon-tied flatware, professionally done flowers, an all-black dessert table, and an all-white cocktail table.
Even if you’re just making a low-key dinner for two, you can still steal the best part of this table.

A party’s not a party without a solid party mix, right? So Halloween festivities are no excuse. A big bag of Chex Mix from the grocery store will work in a pinch, but toss together your own easy mix and your guests will be most impressed. Plus, there are marshmallows and candy in this one.

My lack of very essential American food experiences is something of a running joke around the office. I don’t own a microwave or a slow cooker; I have never eaten meatloaf or, until recently, spaghetti squash (it’s delicious, it turns out, especially when it’s dressed with a creamy, tomatoey sauce); I have been to Trader Joe’s probably once in my life, which is also the number of times I have eaten a Big Mac; and I have yet to try an Egg McMuffin.
My food naïveté (we’ll call it that because it sounds better than ignorance) is largely due to the fact that my mother is German.

This is the quick weeknight meal that takes everything you love about Buffalo wings, from the fiery sauce to the creamy blue cheese to the crunchy celery, and stuffs it into a warm baked potato. It’s just one of the reasons I like to cook an extra chicken breast or two for the week.
