Welcome to the Halloween Edition of the Carnival of the Recipes, otherwise known as CotR #115.
With Halloween just around the corner, we have some really scrummy (that's scrumptious AND yummy, in case you're wondering) recipes for you to try in this week's roundup.
For those of you who don't do Halloween, pardon my zeal, but I won't be decorating the house this year, so this is kind of a blog-substitute.
Now, on with the show!
Seriously Trick or Treat stuff for Serious Halloweenies:
Renata Vincoletto presents Giant Twix. Now THAT's a big treat. Or is it a trick?
More sweets and treats from KeeWee of KeeWee's Corner with a recipe for Witch's Weakness. I don't know any witch who could resist!
Shawn Lea of Everything and Nothing presents a bunch of stuff for your Halloween party! This is great fun. Serve up some Cheesy Goblin Head, Dracula's Eyes (ewwwww!), and try one of these Boo Brew ideas. For atmosphere, Make spooky glowing water. After the pumpkin carving, be sure to make some Toasted Pumpkin Seeds. Sounds like a great party!
In the Pumpkin category:
Audrey - the coffee sage presents Pumpkin Spice Latte ( compare to Starbucks ). YUM, I was hoping somebody would come up with this recipe.
John of EclectEcon presents his special EclectEcon Pumpkin Scones, and Firefly presents a recipe for Pumpkin Ginger Scones. I always say you can never have too many pumpkin scone recipes to try.
Mama Squirrel from Dewey's Treehouse presents Two pumpkin recipes, one a pie, and one for Pumpkin Gingerbread LoafCakeMuffin. Try 'em both!
And don't miss my very own Pumpkin Spice Dessert. It'll curl your toes!
Other Fare:
In the soups and starters category -- David at Third World County presents a recipe for his favorite chili - all in one place, thank you very much! Joel Fuhrman M.D. shares three disease-proof soup recipes. And Joe Donnachie presents SuperSoup, maximum nutrition in one bowl.
Breads and stuff (to go with the soups of course) -- cehwiedel at Kicking Over My Traces presents a recipe for Oat Bread that sounds really delish.
For main dishes and sides, we have Thelly at Chicken Recipes serves up a delicious recipe for Chicken Breast in Herb Mustard Cream Sauce.
Kevin of Seriously Good is seriously making my mouse waddle with Chicken with 33 Cloves of Garlic. Ohmigod.
Adam of Men in Aprons offers a recipe to go with these chicken dishes, or ... well, almost anything: Spicy Glazed Sweet Potatoes with Cinnamon and Orange.
Riannon of In the Headlights presents Spaghetti Carbonara, complete with mouthwatering pictures.
Maureen from Trinity Prep School presents Roasted Vegetable Lasagna
Triticale - the wheat / rye guy has a recipe for Pizza Meatloaf that I'm sure my hubs would love.
DeputyHeadmistress of The Common Room presents Chile Relleno Quiche. Sounds dangerous! Dangerously delicious!!
Whew! After all THIS food, be sure to check out the Kosher Cooking Carnival hosted at me-ander
In the non-recipe category: Wenchypoo presents Is A Freezer Right For You? posted at Wisdom from Wenchypoo's Mental Wastebasket. And from RightWingNation, a great How-To called Stock Basics. No, not stocks and bonds, silly. Chicken stock, beef stock ... you get the picture.

The smell of this coffee (pumpkin spice latte)makes me think of Thanksgiving, here in Canada. I love pumkpin pie, so whenever Starbucks brings out their pumpkin spice latte, you'll find me there at least once a week. Thanks for the great recipes, I can't wait to try them at home.
