These are easy & fun ways to spruce up food you already eat to make the holiday a little more fun for the kiddos.

So any time a holiday rolls around I am obsessed with making themed food, whether it's a simple dinner for my family or something for a party. Halloween is no exception. There are a lot of "creepy" elaborate dishes I've seen, but as you may have noticed from my blog, I like to keep things pretty simple and easy (but fun and theme-worthy all at the same time, of course!) Here are some really simple/fun foods to make for this upcoming holiday! First off, any food looks good in a pumpkin - so that's always a go-to for presentation if I'm preparing a dish to take somewhere. You can put ranch dip in there and serve with veggies, hummus inside served with pita chips and crackers, or even make a delicious pumpkin pie dip for apples and graham crackers (see prior blog post about my Fall Tasting Party for that recipe!) Other fun ideas include Jack-o-Lantern Sliders (the kids LOVE these) - simply take a knife tip and carve different faces into a slice of cheese. Also "candy corn quesadillas" are so much fun - I used yellow cheese for the top, crushed Doritos for the orange middle, and white cheese for the tip (you can load the inside of the quesadilla with beef, chicken, etc). These mashed potato ghosts and mummy dogs are also big hits! I just formed the mashed potatoes into a ghost-like positioning and then used a little black food paste and a toothpick to make the eyes (you could also use a piece of olive or a cut up black bean or something for the eyes). The mummy dogs couldn't be easier too, just take crescent roll dough, wrap it around a hot dog, bake, then dot on some ketchup eyes! (Or make them more gruesome with extra ketchup - depending on the ages of your kids!)

AuthorI love writing romance novels, editing other people's novels, planning parties (heavy on the theme food!) and watching movies. Cooking has also become a passion of mine (because you can't have a proper party without food!) and I love finding new hobbies when I can squeeze them in. Archives
