This year, Weston and I celebrated our Halloween by hitting up
on Friday night! He hadn't been there for years. We strolled around the grounds, shopped a little and ate dinner at Archibald's. It was so fun to see all the cute decoration and witches!!!
On Saturday, my parents held a little halloween party with warm homemade chili, donuts and a costume parade! It was so fun to see most of our nieces and nephews all dressed up in their costumes. Despite the weather, they all went out trick-or-treating!
We ended Halloween on Sunday by eating a scrumptious "Orange Teriyaki Beef Roast" and heading up to Farmington to see the pumpkin extravaganza from the Day family! It was incredible how they carved over 1 hundred pumpkins into different pictures, shapes etc.! I didn't get a picture of all of them because there were too many people looking, but I did manage to take a few of my favorites...
- 1 large-size oven bag
- 2 Tbsp. Pillsbury all-purpose flour
- ½ cup Simply Juice orange juice
- ½ cup teriyaki sauce
- ¼ cup packed brown sugar
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp. grated orange zest
- ½ tsp. crushed red pepper
- 2 lb. Eye of Round Oven Roast
- ¼ cup sliced green onions
Shake flour in oven bag, place in 13x9 inch baking dish. Add orange juice, teriyaki sauce, brown sugar, garlic, orange zest, and crushed red pepper to oven bag; close and squeeze bag to blend flour. Add roast to bag. Turn bag to coat beef with sauce. Close bag with tie and marinate in refrigerator for 1½ -2 hours.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Cut 4-6 slits into top of bag and bake 35-45 minutes or until meat thermometer reads 145. To serve, thinly slice beef and pour sauce on top then sprinkle with chopped green onions. This sauce is so delicious and can be used on or with all meats and fish or even as a dipping sauce for wontons.
Overall, it was a great Halloween Holiday! We unfortunately did not dress up, which was the first for us in 6 years, but nonetheless, we had a great time!
