Samhain Recipes!

I've posted enough recipes for Halloween, I think.

Let's go back to MY tradition and continue with more Samhain recipes for the Sabbat itself and not the ''party'' side of it as it is known nowadays for most of people (meaning Halloween).

If you're doing a feast for Samhain, here are more recipes for this Sabbat

Cream Cheese Potato Pie 

Ingredients:

1 egg, beaten
1 10 oz package cream cheese, softened
3 cups mashed potatoes
1/3 cup milk
1/3 cup Italian bread crumbs
2 Tablespoons sweet basil
3/4 Teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 cup shredded cheese

How to make it:

Drinks for Grown-ups on Halloween

Dry Martini Eyeball 

Ingredients:

12 Radishes
12 Pimento Stuffed Olives, halved
3 cups Vodka
½ cup Olive Juice
Ice Cubes

To make Eyeball Ice Cubes:

Peel radishes, leaving thin streaks of red skin for veins and blood vessels. Using the pointed end of a vegetable peeler or small paring knife, cut out an olive size hole in each radish. Stuff an olive half into each hole, pimiento stuffing side out. Place each olive stuffed radish into an ice cube tray. You may have to trim some of the radishes to fit. Cover with water and freeze for 4 hours or until frozen.

 In a pitcher, add vodka, olive juice and ice cubes. Stir well to chill. Add Eyeball ice cubes. Serve at once.

Again...Samhain recipes!

I do several posts about Samhain recipes as I didn't want to write one big (long...very long) post about it.

I think it is more clear and less compacted that way.

 So here it goes again for some other great Samhain recipes:

Samhain recipes

Samhain is knocking our doors and since it is my favorite Holiday, what better way to start this new blog with Samhain recipes!

A great recipe coming from the ''Ye Olde Witches Brew Magazine'', the Barmbrack.

Barmbrack is a traditional Celtic bread served during Samhain with tea, and is the center of a divinatory ritual for the coming year.

To make a traditional Barmbrack, trinkets and charms are always added into the mixture. Naturally, your own charms and meanings can and should be utilized as a part of your Samhain traditions. Each charm should be wrapped carefully in parchment or wax paper and placed equally through the bread before its final rise.

Welcome
