On Halloween night, I make taco soup, wassail, and bread sticks. All are quick, hearty, warm, and nutritious. This has become a little tradition my children count on. Before a chilling night trick-or-treating, they are in need of something substantial to fill their tummies. I make taco soup for dinner and if they are hungry after trick-or-treating, I make them a fried egg sandwich. My hunky husband loves these. All you do is start with really fresh white or wheat bread. Toast the bread and butter the slices. Fry eggs in canola oil butter until almost crisped on the edges and slide between two pieces of toast. Serve with a cup of warm wassail. Your honey will love it and you for making him one.
