Not so spooky foods

We hosted a little Halloween lunch...on the menu - Mummy Pizza, Apple Teeth and Kelly brought Spider Eggs...yum!!

Halloween Hijinx

I let each of the boys pick 2 friend to Boo this year along with our local family and a couple of my friends. It turned into a bit of a production but lots of fun too. Teaching a 3 year old how to door bell ditch is delightful, especially when you have to dive back into the car, buckle the carseat and then attempt to drive off un-noticed :)

Logan wanted to make rice krispie treats for his friends. Really it was an excuse to use the oh so delicious pumpkin spiced marshmallows that we spotted a while back. They taste amazing in hot cocoa and oh so good as a treat too.

I packed up S'more treats that I spotted on Pinterest from here. I loved this idea so much, that I also made up little treat bags for the teachers at Logan and Caden's schools. So fun and so EASY!!

The Boo signs are from TomKat Studios...love her stuff!!! She made a new design this year but I still love the playful colors and font of the original. Get out and Boo someone before it's too late!!!

Scary yet Sweet

How fun is this!! My boys, including my husband would LOVE to make this. Not sure this would be a great Valentine's day treat but I'm sure we can find an excuse. You can find the how-to info here along with a lot of other scary stuff.

more spooky food...that I haven't made yet

My kids LOVE to turn food into something else...roasted broccoli are always little trees, spaghetti noodles are worms, so they LOVE this fun food. I'm adding these to my "to-do" list (page 527, I think)

Octo-Pot-Pie

Jello EyeBalls

Sweet and Sour Eyeballs

Spider Bite Pretzels
I think I'd use shredded coconut for the body..mmmmm

Sand-Witch
The possibilities on this one is endless...pumpkin shapes, ghosts out of mozzarella...

This last site has a bunch of spooky food...some of it too gross for me! Logan and Shawn would probably LOVE it!

Our Spooktacular Dinner

Mummy Dogs and Spider Web Soup with Ghost Pops for dessert
To kick off Halloween weekend, tonight for dinner we had some spooky foods.

First the Mummy Dogs...SUPER EASY!

Roll out the biscuit...I used a little over one biscuit to cover each dog, which works out since there were 8 dogs and 10 biscuits.
Start the wrapping, first secure it around the top, where the mummy's head would be. Then keep wrapping it around. Be sure to leave a space for the eyes! I then gave them a quick egg wash to get that golden brown gloss.
Bake at 350 for about 15 minutes...wah-lah!
A couple dots of mustart to make those glowing eyes and you are done.
Spiderweb soup started off as Creamy Tomato, added some thinned sour cream from a squirt bottle.
And then did a little trick I first saw done by Martha. Drag a toothpick from the center to get that "web" look.
Add a spider raft garnish (one olive, cut in half and then cut again to make 8 legs each on a piece of toast).
And dessert...frozen bananas covered in White Chocolate. These turned out great and were super tasty! Here is a tutorial for the ghost pops.

BOO!

More Spooky Food

more soon!

Spooky Food part 1

Nutter Butter Ghosts

These are super easy! All you need is a bag of white chocolate bark, chocolate chips and a nutter butters. Melt the bark according to directions, dip the cookies, let them cool, melt the chocolate chips and with a toothpick, draw on some faces. My 7 year old and I did most of them, you can spot the few done by my hubby, the artist.

Halloweenie Spaghetti Spiders

Again, these are super easy. Cut up a hot dog into about inch thick pieces, shove UNCOOKED spaghetti noodles through the hot dog piece to make the legs, plop into boiling water and cook according to noodle directions. I made a web on the plate using ketchup, the condiment of choice for the boys.

Check back, there will be more...we love Halloween and we love to make fun food!
