Just take some peppers, cut off the top ... de-seed them, and fill them with your choice of salad ...
feel free to add a little carrot, crunchy celery even a small piece of grape.

Of course don't forget to carefully cut out the 'Spooky' face!

Spookily Friendly Peppers, although scary but I really like the shape and decor
Love the spooky peppers. Raw and crunchy, just the way I like them.
I would gladly try them all. Love those fun Halloween peppers! Valerie
Interesting goulash, but, awwww, the peppers sure are the cutest!
It's got to be the goulash for me now that the weather's changed. We've had frosts two days on the run so it's definitely time for hearty stews.
Wonderful - I think that goulash will be perfect for Halloween and I'm keen to have a go at the pepper - what fun!

I like the goulash. I like the cup cakes. And I like the peppers too. Which shall I have? Oh ... decisions, decisions. It's like being a politician on your Blog today! Let's have a vote about it.
God bless.
Mmmm, that stew. Looks yummy.
Too bad I never thought of cutting faces in the peppers for a salad when the girlies were little. They would have loved that.
Oh WOW!! These recipes look absolutely stunning...I can't wait for Halloween now, just to try them, especially those wonderful cupcakes. They are SO pretty!!😊😊
Have a super day!

Everything looks good to me. The peppers look fun too.
I'd go for the cupcakes.

Hello, the stew sounds yummy. I love cupcakes and the peppers are cute. Enjoy your, wishing you a great week ahead.
These are very clever and spooky! Who ever thought olives could look so much like eyeballs? And peppers like pumpkins? Hugs-Erika
