Candy corn martinis

I made the chicken pot pie I told you all about. I also forgot to take a picture when I was finished. Oops.

I also made buffalo chicken chili and other yummy things.

But, why eat when you can drink. And my Halloween drink has been candy corn martinis. Easy and yum.

First, you have to make Candy Corn vodka. To do add one cup of candy corn to one cup of vodka. You can use any type of bottle with a lid to do this. Let it sit in the fridge overnight or at least four hours, if you're desperate.

Once it's ready, strain the vodka to remove what's left of the candy corn. Now it's martini time.

In a shaker full of ice: add 1 shot vodka, 1/2 shot triple sec and 1 shot of pineapple juice. Shake, then serve in a martini glass. You can put a couple of pieces of candy corn in the glass for decoration if you want.

No tricks here. Only treats. Enjoy!

Fall=comfort food

It's fall. That means it's time for casseroles, big pots of chili and lots of pumpkin-filled baked goods.

Today, we ask ourselves the question: What do chicken breasts, jiffy cornbread mix and some frozen veggies have in common?

They're about to become tonight's chicken pot pie. And here's the biggest thing: I'm just making it on my own without a recipe. Totally winging it!

I think I might take photos. Meet me back here after my Thursday night TV shows are over.
