Throughout October we ate lots of Halloween-themed foods (see previous post for a couple recipes). I can’t get enough of ‘em. And apparently neither can Jade. Just today she requested her school snack be put in a Halloween bag again. Her age is so fun; she really gets excited about the simplest of creations. A lot of times I’d just add a jack-o-lantern face to a circle (easy-peasy) and her desire to eat escalated. The funniest one was the Sweet potato falafel. She was really excited to eat the faces, she took one bite, and said, “why aren’t these cookies delicious?” Sorry, Girl. Those aren’t cookies.
We also had jack-o-lantern chicken quesadillas, grilled ham & cheese, and pancakes.
For breakfasts we had ghost eggs and “black” velvet bats.
Snacks involved ghost bananas and apple mouths.
To add extra fun to play dates, we had orange and black stove top kettle corn in Halloween bags and Halloween jello from the local bakery.
On Halloween, lunch consisted of some of the above items, plus soy milk colored orange (Jade loves soy milk).
For yet other Halloween dinners, we had witches’ brew in cauldrons (Cream of Broccoli Soup and Homemade chili) and mummy dogs.
For our dinner at a friend’s on Halloween night, I made a monster watermelon. Maybe this shows my maturity, but it gave me great joy to see the 10 year old boys’ excitement over it!
We had a couple Halloween themed FHE treats, as well. Ice cream witches and the ever classic, delicious dirt with worms, body parts, and make-shift tombstones.
I told you I love Halloween foods. Tell me what kinds you made!!!
