The name says it all with this creamy classic (that’s way better than the boxed stuff!). The sauce comes together in a flash. When it’s ready just pour over cooked pasta and enjoy.
When the kids are literally pulling you out of the house for trick-or-treating, these fully loaded hot dogs will stop them in their tracks (at least for a quick bite to eat). The dogs only take 5 minutes to steam and the buns reach the perfect “squishy” texture even faster.

Just because it’s Halloween night doesn’t mean you have to settle for pizza. You can still have a hearty meal, thanks to store-bought gnocchi. Top the potato dumplings with mushrooms, Parmesan and chives for a simple, yet flavorful dish that everyone will enjoy.
This classic turkey club makes for a perfect meal before a night of trick-or-treating because it barely takes any time at all to assemble a sandwich. This recipe calls for turkey breast that you roast and slice yourself but you can use deli meat to save time on Halloween night.
These may be tiny but that only makes them more fun! Make a big tray with a variety of toppings and let everyone munch on their favorites before they head out in search of candy!
