Halloween Recipe: String Cheese Bones and Blood

September 17 by Kristin

Healthy Halloween Recipe: Cheesy Bones and Blood - my kids love this!

I love seeing all the food that people put out for Halloween get-togethers. At no other time is it appropriate to make food look disgusting.  But, for Halloween, the grossest thing you can come up with is the biggest hit with the kids. This year, I put together an easy cheese-stick recipe that will work as a spooky after-school snack or as something you take to a Halloween party.

Halloween Dinner Recipe: Cheesy stuffed peppers that the kids will love!

We have been blessed to find ourselves in a neighborhood that really goes above and beyond on Halloween. You know the one- the houses decorations are over the top, at least a few give out full candy bars, and parents drop kids off by the van load. Last year we started, what I hope will be, an annual tradition of having a few families over to our house for dinner and trick-or-treating on Halloween night. I've been brainstorming filling dinner ideas to serve to all the kids before heading … [Read more...]
