MoFo - Worms in Dirt

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

How very Halloween creepy. For the Worms in Dirt I used slightly mashed cooked black beans for the dirt and a veg dog cooked and sliced into pieces to make worms (surround by lettuce and shredded squash). 

Here are a few crafts that I did this weekend with my grandkids. The theme for our kid party was Spiders. 

MoFo - Orange You Spiky

This is a cupcake with chow mein noodles covered in frosting and dandies for eyes.

Below is what I gave my daughter "Earthy" today. I decorated a casket with decorative paper and spiders. I made her a Halloween card with a haunted house, and bought her the clown from hell that sounds like an evil laugh when you press his belly. 

MoFo - Orange Pumpkin

Instead of carving a big pumpkin I decided to carve an orange so it would be more of a kid size craft. To make it even healthier I served some fresh fruit inside. 

Below are the goodie bags I gave my grandkids today. 

MoFo - Spider Web Pizza

Making a spider web with cheese seemed like it would be easy. The original idea came from a magazine that used string cheese as the web. I used daiya but since we aren’t use to cooking with daiya it didn’t melt very well. It is the idea that counts. After the web we added more cheese and a few other things and put it back in the oven. 

MoFo - Monster Mouth

I used an apple for the mouth. I cut the top and bottom off then cut a wedge out of the middle. For the teeth I used dandies (with peanut butter as the adhesive). This was a great treat. 


Below are the Halloween cards that I made for my grandkids...

MoFo - Mashed Boo-tatoes

Russet potato ghosts with sweet potato pumpkins. What a cute idea and so easy. I cut a corner off a zip-lock bag, put the potatoes in, and used it like you would an icing/pastry bag to squeeze the potatoes on the plate. For the ghosts I added black peppers for the eyes and for the pumpkins I added a small bit of parsley for the stem.

MoFo - Frozen Ghosts

Super easy. I cut a couple of bananas, put them on the end of a plastic spoon, then put them in the freezer for a little bit. After an hour or so I took them out and put raisins dipped in peanut butter for adhesive as their eyes and mouth. The original idea asked for chocolate chips but since we didn’t have any we decided to use raisins instead.
