From the Editor

Dear $$firstname$$,

I’d like to personally welcome you to our online community. As a Taste of Home subscriber, you’re entitled to receive this exclusive subscriber-only newsletter each month, free with your magazine subscription. Using the links in the newsletter is the easiest way to enjoy all your Taste of Home Plus online benefits. In each monthly Plus newsletter, you’ll find bonus features, recipes, photos, expert advice and "insider information" to supplement your current magazine issue. It’s our way of saying "Thanks for being a loyal subscriber!"

It’s fun that Halloween has become a delicious season rather than just a one-day event. People celebrate with special and spooky foods for weeks leading up to October 31. Hope you’ve already tried some of the spooky specialties in the October/November magazine!

If you have friends coming over to snack anytime soon, they’re sure to enjoy Cheesenstein (p. 28). This edible monster’s green skin and curly ripe-olive hair are a clever "costume" for a cheese ball!

Goblin’s Orange Popcorn (p. 27) dresses up for the party with a colorful sweet glaze. Munch on a bowlful with family or coworkers, or fill individual trick-or-treat bags.

For a frightfully good dessert, serve the Spooky Spider Cake (p. 28) or the Jack-o’-Lantern Cream Puffs. And for hundreds more Halloween recipes (including appetizers, main dishes and desserts, visit our new Halloween Recipe Hub!

It’s been about a month since your October/November magazine arrived. As always, we’ve added more subscriber-only recipes and tips to Taste of Home Plus, including more Halloween recipes, some satisfying soup recipes and lots more pumpkin favorites.

In addition, you’ll find time-saving quick meal recipes, German-inspired recipes for a family Octoberfest celebration and a bushel of delicious apple recipes. As always, you’ll get a sneak preview of your upcoming December/January magazine. Enjoy!

—Ann Kaiser, Editor
