If you know me, you know that I am a huge zombie fan. The Walking Dead is one of my favorite shows, I love zombie movies, and October is one of my favorite months, for several reasons… one of them being, all the horror movies, which of course includes zombie movies. Oh, and the Halloween candy, desserts, zombie pasta, and… candy.
I’m not sure how I feel about this season knowing that Rick Grimes will be leaving the show, as well as Maggie. I think it’s going to be a great season…
I have such mixed feelings about Negan. I mean his character is a very bad man and I’m going to hate him, but I’ve had a celebrity crush on Jeffery Dean Morgan for years. I’m more fond of his pre-losing weight and looking too thin (which has made him look older), look, though.
To get in the spirit of October, Halloween, and all things spooky, I’ve been trying out recipes fitting for the occasion. It’s easy to come up with desserts and drinks, but entrees aren’t as easy, at least for me.
After thinking about it, I thought spaghetti would make a great creepy food for a Halloween entree recipe. The results, Zombie Pasta. Or Spooky Spaghetti, Putrid Pasta, Scary Spaghetti… you get the picture.
