TidBit Tuesday - Spooktacular Treats

One thing that I do know is food. As I try to find fun ways to celebrate holidays or special occasions food is without a doubt a center piece to our celebrating. We all LOVE food, so here are some fun and SIMPLE Halloween foods for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Enjoy!


Rise and Shine Spider
1 slice of French Toast, buttered and covered in syrup
2 chocolate chips, for eyes
3-4 pieces of bacon, cut in half for legs

Potato Skin Ghosts
Medium Baked potatoes (1 will make 4 servings) baked through
Shredded cheddar cheese
Green onions, sliced
Bacon bits
Sour Cream
Butter, salt and pepper

Take a cooked baked potato, cut into quarters making a shell. Line on a cookie sheet skin down. Butter, salt and pepper potato, cover with shredded cheese and put into a hot oven to melt cheese. After cheese is melted allow to cool for 5 minutes. Cover completely with sour cream and use green onion and bacon bits for mouth and eyes!


Mummy Dogs
Hot Dogs
Refrigerator breadsticks
Ketchup or Mustard

Take breadsticks and slice into thin strips. Wrap the strips around the hotdog, leaving a space at the top for "face". Place on a cookie sheet and cook in a 350 degree oven for 15 minutes until dough is cooked through. Use ketchup or mustard to make two eyes and serve!


Gooey Guts with Eyeballs
Spaghetti and Marinara or Red Meat Sauce
Whole Black Olives
Cook and plate, with 2 black olives staring at you

Baked Bones
Breadstick dough (either refrigerator or homemade)
Tie a knot at one end to create a bone look, sprinkle with garlic salt or parmesan cheese and coat with melted butter. Cook according to directions.

Witches Fingers
Asparagus
Olive oil, salt, and pepper

Preheat oven at 425 degrees, cut bottoms of asparagus off. On a cookie sheet coat asparagus in olive oil, salt and pepper and toss evenly. Bake in oven for 20 minutes until tender.


Spider Web Brownies
1 pkg. brownies, baked in a round pan
When cooled, frost with white frosting
Use a black gel frosting to make a spiral starting in the center of the brownies. Then using a toothpick or knife blade draw it through the black spiral from center to edge to create the web.
Add fake or real spiders for decoration
