Mummies in a Blanket

I haven't really been in the kitchen much except to hog down pizza or cereal. Nutritious aren't we? So I thought I better get back into the swing of things!

My son and I made these mummies in a blanket the other day and both kids thought they were fun. Collin was just disappointed I wouldn't let him put chocolate chips for the eyes. Hot dogs and chocolate? The very thought makes me queasy!

I'm starting my Halloween fun early! These Wizard hats were super fast and super yummy! The kids and I gobbled them up in no time.

Ghostly Grilled Cheese

I wanted to go all out and make different kinds of Halloween-ish foods but it just didn't happen this year. I made a simple quick dinner that both of the kids loved the night before Halloween. All I did was make regular grilled cheese and a ghost cookie cutter. Of course we couldn't forget the tomato soup! We eat a lot of grilled cheese in our household and Collin thought the ghosts were cool.

On Halloween night I took the easy way out and we just ordered some pizza! Next year I'll have to have Collin help me make spooky food.
