Ghoulish Recipes for your Halloween Party!

Halloween is right around the corner and many of you may be planning parties for the holiday!  As a professional florist in Henderson, NV, here are some great Halloween inspired recipes. 

Won't Believe Your Eyes: an easy treat that relies on presentation to make it frightening

Ingredients: 

• Grapes 
• Box with hole cut into the top 
• Black cloth to cover the hole (optional)

For this recipe you simply need to peel the grapes by following the steps in this link: how to peel grapes easily. Then place peeled grapes into a bowl and cover with the box. Have party guests reach their hands into the box to find bowl of "eyeballs" and then instruct them to eat the treat! 

Finger Food: you can make this a healthy treat by using whole wheat dough

Ingredients: 

• Pizza dough (whole wheat or regular) 
• Sliced almonds 
• Pizza Sauce (optional) 

For this recipe you simply take some pizza dough and separate it into small sections (about the size of a finger) and then roll and shape the dough to look like a human finger. Add the sliced almond to the tip (as the fingernail) and then bake according to the directions on the pizza dough. You can also add pizza sauce for dipping and label it as blood. 

Mad Scientist Punch: kids can help make this potion

Ingredients: 

• 2 cans orange juice concentrate (thawed) 
• 2 cups of water 
• Koolaid mix pouch 
• 2 liters of lemon lime soda 
• 1 pint of orange sherbert 
• various sized beakers to serve the punch in 

For this recipe you combine concentrate, water, Koolaid, and soda into a large punch bowl and chill. When serving, pour the punch in beakers and add two scoops of orange sherbert to the top. 

Hopefully some of these recipes are a fun addition to your Halloween party! There are many more ideas on the web, we just wanted to get your imagination started.

HAPPY HAUNTING!

How to keep your arrangements fresh!

Here at A Beautiful Bouquet Florist, we often get asked what should be done to keep floral arrangements fresh and alive. These are our best tips for keeping your arrangements beautiful and happy!

1. The first and most important step to keeping your arrangements fresh is to CHANGE THE WATER DAILY! We often tell customers that if the water in the vase doesn't look like something you would like to drink, the flowers probably don't want to drink it either. To do this you can grab the arrangement tightly at the top of the vase and pull the flowers out to change the water or you can simply run the water along the edge of the inside of the vase until all of the old water has been removed and replaced with fresh water. (**note: if you have a water softener system, please do not use your tap water as this will harm the flowers) 
2. Another simple step is to keep the arrangement away from extreme cold or heat. Do no place arrangements near a vent that is blowing hot air and do not place near a window when it is cold or hot outside. Also keep your arrangement out of direct sunlight. Again, just like you, flowers prefer to be kept a temperature that is comfortable and not too extreme. 
3. Keep bacteria at bay! Bacteria is a fresh cut flower arrangement's biggest enemy. This can be done by keeping the water changed daily, keeping the vase clean, and every so often snip the ends off the flower stem at a 45 degree angle. This angle and removal of older tips helps prevent bacteria.
4. Remove any greenery (leaves, etc..) that is submerged in the water. This will keep the water cleaner and prevent the growth of bacteria. 
5. You can also lightly mist most flowers in order to give them an extra drink of water. (**Hydrangeas (white and blue flower seen above) like water so much that you can actually dip the blooms in a bowl of clean water) 

There are also many tips online that you can experiment with in order to see what works best for your flowers. Overall, the best tip for keeping your arrangement happy and healthy, is to change the water and to keep the arrangement in a cool room away from the sun and extreme temperatures.
