New Baby♥ = Baby Gift♥

Dad-to-be is in a band, Mom-to-be is in the movie biz...

No fancy Silhouette Machine here, just your basic ink jet iron-on. I grabbed the album art from the band's facebook page, which by the way...I totally recommend that you check out Traildriver, great indie rock/country sound!!! And added the text using Photoshop. Poof!

Like I said, Mom-to-be is in the movie biz, so I found a "clapper" clipart image and added the text.

I think they turned out adorable! and Mom & Dad-to-be were pretty thrilled too!

Don't be surprised if you see something like this in May

Amy Atlas is A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!!! And I LOVE her Dr. Seuss Party Ideas...

Monkey Dip

Dip makes everything taste better, right? Look at these ADORABLE dip containers perfect for a lunchbox.





Here is the site for these cute containers

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!
