Halloween isn’t always about the candy — although trick-or-treaters might disagree. Festive appetizers are the perfect foods to nosh on while passing out candy. Or, if your plan is to host or go to a Halloween bash, be a hit and bring along some creepy appetizers. Today’s Moldy Bones and Devilish Deviled Eggs are personal favorites. The Moldy Bones are simply storebought bread sticks that you shape into bones. Serve them with pizza sauce for dipping, for the kids. For adults, a spicy marinara will do. If the bread sticks come with their own garlic/butter, skip it and use the cheese and seasoning in the recipe. This way, you’re cutting some fat. The Devilish Eggs are a spin on traditional deviled eggs. Roasted red peppers are used to give them a slightly reddish tint. And the cayenne pepper and hot sauce give them a spicy bite, which you can skip if you don’t want them spicy. Chives, green onions and red pepper pieces are used to create devil-like faces. Another fun deviled egg presentation is to make the filling look like a pumpkin. Use a smidge of orange food coloring to tint the mashed egg mixture. Fill the egg white with the mashed egg, rounding it slightly. Use a toothpick to make lines in the filling like those on a pumpkin. Cut a small piece of green onion for a stem. Halloween is the time to get wacky and wild with food, so have fun. For a few more fun Halloween recipes, check out the Feast cooking and recipe page at www.freep.com/life/cookingrecipes.

make some extra cash. An unorthodox idea or service could be turned into a profitable venture with a little elbow grease. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Your high energy should be put to good use. Participate in lively activities in order to make new friends or find a potential business or romantic partner. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — You will receive news that will suggest an exciting change.

Keep your assets separate to avoid being left in a vulnerable position that could diminish the partnership. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Make yourself available to people who helped you in the past. A close friend or family member is in need of your support, and your gesture will bring satisfaction and rewards. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Reach out to an old friend and take a walk down memory lane. Keep in mind that although you have history with this person, you would be wise to keep the focus of your interaction on the past, not the future.
