Halloween Fun!

Here are some of the fun, spooky foods I made for the kids this Halloween. I know its too late for you to use this year, but you can file the ideas/recipes away for next year!

For Breakfast we had "spooky eggs"(just red food coloring. But it takes a lot to actually make it red, so we had pink eggs); "Franken-fingers"(sausage); bacon(i didn't come up with anything spooky for that); "ghost toast"(just use a cookie cutter); "ghost poop"(powdered donut holes. Yeah, i know.); and "spooky milk"(just a different color). So, nothing too fancy, just a fun twist on some breakfast foods. The boys enjoyed it.

Then for lunch we had "mummy dogs". This idea can be found in a couple of places online, so i'm not sure where I originally saw it, but the boys really loved it! Christian keeps asking me to make these.

Mummy Dogs

1 pkg refrigerated breadstick dough(12 count)

12 hot dogs

Pre-heat oven to 375. Unroll breadstick dough and cut each into 3 strips. Wrap each hot dog(like a mummy), starting at the bottom and working your way up. Use 3 strips for each hot dog. Leave a little space at the top for eyes. Place hot dogs on lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake 10-15 min. or until golden brown. Remove adn let cool a few minutes. Use ketchup or mustard for eyes.

This idea I found a while ago on the Picky Palate. It is just a little banana caterpillar. I will make this sometimes, just to make snack a little more fun. Just cut up a banana, and layer it back together with peanut butter. Stick a couple of pretzel pieces in as legs, and some chocolate chips as eyes, and you're done!
