APDG~Hol & Seas Food Ser #2 Fall & Halloween Foods

October is the month of the year when we celebrate Halloween and it is also the beginning of fall.

Some of the top foods for fall include apples, beets, brussels sprouts, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, cranberries, figs, grapes, mushrooms, parsnips, pears, pomegranate, pumpkin, rutabaga, sweet potatoes and yams, swiss chard and winter squash. These fruits and veggies can be included in so many wonderful recipes during the fall season. Some of my favorite recipes for fall are sweet potato casserole and pumpkin pie.

These same foods can be used for Halloween as well. One of the most popular foods of Halloween is of course candy when kids go "trick or treating". I recall when I was a kid one of my neighbors always gave out bags of pennies. Definitely something different than everyone else. Apples are also very popular with the activity of bobbing for apples. A long time ago young unmarried people tried to bite into an apple floating in water or hanging from a string. The first person to bite into the apple would be the next one to marry. This belief no longer exists. Instead it is a game for fun. I do remember playing it. There are also so many other popular foods for Halloween most of them snack type food.

I also remember when I was younger my family always made a trip to Snyder Orchards and picked up bushels of apples and some caramel apples, candied apples and other things. The place had such a wonderful smell with all the fresh baked pies. Just thinking of it is making me hungry.

Post THREE (3) pictures or gifs to each of your THREE (3) partner's profiles with the theme "Fall and Halloween Foods". The pictures that you choose may be the SAME OR DIFFERENT between all of your partners. Please choose pictures that you think THEY will enjoy!

Only people with well filled out profiles may participate in this swap. I will be checking the night before partners get assigned.

If you get 3 pictures from your partner on "Fall and Halloween Foods" you have to rate them a 5. The heart on the rating is for if you like what they sent.

To leave a photo on someone's profile use this code ! [ ] ( Put image here ) With NO spaces & paste the picture's link between the curved parenthesis.

Practice on your own profile first to be sure it looks good because you can easily delete there.

Pick images that are size 300 wide or smaller to be sure they fit.

I go to Google images to get my pictures.

Hover over images to see their size because there will be some larger sizes there too. If you really like something click on it and go to the words SEARCH BY IMAGE and click on that. THEN go to the word SMALL and see if there is one 300 size. There are other tricks in the group thread; AN EASY way to get a small PIC from a BIG one;-)

Please write the TITLE OF THE SWAP ON YOUR PROFILE DECO MESSAGE too! This makes it easier for partners that are in a lot of these swaps to rate it.

I want to thank @anrtist for allowing me to borrow SOME of her wording.
