This Friday we are having our third annual Oktoberfest beer tasting/costume party! I am looking for some suggestions on great, easy, healthy, fall treats to serve. I am planning on making some special cupcakes from my new book – I will take lots of pics, and a few people are bringing things but I need some other snacks! Here is the invite I sent out….

It is time for the season’s best,

Good food, good friends, Oktoberfest.

So find your costume and your beer,

You could win first prize this year!

The party is for dressing up,

And tasting beer in a mini cup,

Please don’t bring a well known kind,

Start looking for a special find!

If your beer cannot be beat,

You’ll get a trophy, that is really sweet!

The party will begin at 8 o’clock

October 24, be ready to rock!


The whole rhyming thing is the teacher in me. A little cheesy, but I don’t see any other way to do it. 🙂
