Halloween Decorating!

My favorite Holiday is Halloween, I just love everything about it. My husband and I love scary movies, and we are working on decorating our house to scare all the kiddies this year :) Today I went to Pier 1, Marshals, and Ross to look for decorations to add to the ones we already have. We got the cutest Halloween Tree with glittery ornaments that are just too adorable! 

I LOVE pumpkins, in every size, shape, and color! I'm gonna go to Michaels tomorrow to look for some large white pumpkins to put on the front porch! 

So much stuff this year! I've got the table under the TV, the mantle, fireplace, and dining room table to work on next! Here is the front table.

I added a bump picture of me in that one haha!

For dinner I still had a bunch of Apple Cider so I decided to go with a fall theme and make another freezer meal to freeze for when Zara is born!

So I made an Apple Cider Pork Goulash with Chopped Apples, Onions, and Fresno Chilies on a bed of Buttered Egg Noodles and topped with Sharp White Cheddar and Sour Cream.

First I chopped up some bacon and fried that in a Dutch oven with a little bit of Olive Oil. 

Once Browned I removed that to a bowl and put in 2 pounds of ground Pork into the drippings at medium high heat to brown and crisp up.

Next I peeled and diced up 2 Red Gala Apples.

Diced 2 Fresno Chilies, 1 large Onion, and 2 tbs of Thyme. And added 2 bay leaves.

Once the meat was browned I added all the veggies and apples. Then added 3 tbs of Paprika, 2 tsp of Cumin, and 2 tsp of Coriander. Then a large pinch of salt and Fresh Ground Pepper. Stirred that to toast the seasonings. 

Added the juice of half a lemon and put the Bacon back in the pot.

Last I added 1/2 cup of Apple Cider, and 2 Cups of Chicken Stock. Brought that to boil and then reduced to a simmer until the pork was tender.

To finish I boiled a pot of water and cooked the Egg Noodles in the water for 8 mins, drained it and added a couple pats of butter and 2 tbs chopped parsley. 

 To plate I made a bed of the noodles, ladled the Goulash on top, then shredded some Sharp White Cheddar Cheese and put on a dollop of Sour Cream.

 Super easy and very delicious!! The rest I put into a freezer proof storage dish and into the deep freeze it went. All that will need to be made is the noodles when it comes time to reheat it!
