It’s that mother stinkin’ time of the year friends:
I am so excited about this season. Why? Not only do you get to peruse tons upon tons of awesome blogs who are posting 30 days straight about vegan food but also because it’s been my month since 2011 for all-things Halloween. If you are new to Fork and Beans, you have no idea what you are getting yourself into. I love me some Halloween and this is the time where my creativity really comes out.
Don’t believe me? Check out this section of recipes reserved for a Halloween theme. Or how about these Frankenstein Brown Rice Krispie Treats for size? They are an extremely fun way to celebrate the season while remaining true to your gluten-free and vegan roots.

Omg these are so Halloween-ish-ly cute! It’s so hard to find “cute” themed vegan foods and often I’m stuck trying to veganize them myself, thanks so much for this recipe!
Super cute! I may start getting into Halloween after reading your posts this month!

Totally! I’ve been pinning Halloween recipes for a few weeks now. Yesterday, it was Halloween costumes, scary hair, DIY fake blood, so fun!
This recipe is awesome and pinned for sure.
Somehow when I saw Halloween in the theme preview I knew it would be you! I used a few of your recipes from your e-book for last year’s Halloween party and they were a big hit! I’m excited to see what you come up with this year!
i love seeing your creativity really come to life. these are amazing. i can’t wait to make them for my halloween party.

Hey lady! These look……so dang creative!! When is MOFO? Can’t pull it off, but I’m going to be enjoying all of the action from the sidelines. Happy September lady 🙂 xo
Ahhh so cute!
I just love how you carry out my obsession with Halloween. I’m so boring that I never make anything spooky for Halloween, but I always have visions that I will! So I get to live through my Halloween obsession through you. Happy MoFo!

These are amazingly cute! I love Halloween! I’m excited to see what else you come up with for Vegan MoFo this year!
Sooooo cute! So excited to see more MoFo awesomeness! 😉
Has MOFO started already? No wonder all those recipes just popped up in my feed. You know I never thought I’d say it but I think this determined shoulder injury may just save me from myself this month. No, this is not a cue for pity, overnight delivery is another matter entirely. xoxoxo
Today is the official Vegan MoFo day missy! Gear up for the wild ride (just make sure that shoulder is taken care of…) xo
So cute, Cara. Im excited for MOFO too. Have a wonderful day.
Are you doing MoFo????!
Im sure all throw a couple of recipes out there. I have so many recipe ideas, it can be so costly though…I just wish I could have purchased a camera by now. Soon, Soon
YAY more halloween fun! Cant wait to see it all, these look fab!
Thank you Becky! Halloween is the holiday I live for 🙂 xo
