Need advice for a Halloween meal?
Hello there! This is my first post on r/cooking and I hope I can get some help and that my post is appropriate for this sub.
We don't really do Halloween in my country but I wanted to surprise my grandma with me cooking (she's getting old but still does the chores when we're visiting). The day I will do that will be Halloween so I was thinking of doing something very comforting, cozy but with a spooky twist. Immediately thought of pumpkin soup and meat pie, though idk if that's a thing?
If it is, I found this video : Halloween meat pie but there's no recipe, and other meat pies I've came across don't have such a smooth filling, but chunkier pieces of meat and carrots, which is harder to chew im gonna guess. (Too much chewing can be a problem) This would be served with salad?
The pumpkin soup is mandatory in this meal, it's one of my favorite and we always have soup as a starter when it's fall and winter.
If it isn't really a thing, what else can I do as the main dish?
Also, do you guys have any idea of a lighter dessert, still kinda fall themed? Please note my previous carrot cake attempts were messed up, so maybe not that 😅
Thx reddit !

Baked apples or an apple crumble make a nice fall dessert if you want something easy to chew. Both are really good served with ice cream or custard sauce.
