Vampire Soup

Creating fun ways to update easy recipes for kids has become a priority for me around many different occasions throughout the year! Halloween being one of the most creative holidays; I invite my daughter into the kitchen with me to develop spooky & delicious meals that both her friends and their parents enjoy!

Adding props to visually enhance the dishes either individually or on a buffet for a party is a another fun tip that I do to really bring out the Halloween spirit!
