Recently I posted a recipe for this tasty Halloween Oreo Popcorn over at Mom Spark. Head on over to check it out!

For a last minute treat for Halloween pick up a bag of mandarin oranges (any variety will work, clementine, mandarin, etc.) and draw on some sweet spooky faces. Many thanks to a darling blog, The Princess and the Frog for this cute idea.

Recently I posted this recipe over at Mom Spark for a refreshing Jell-O dessert, Spooky Lemon Lime Ghost Slime. Head on over to check it out!

Mummy Dogs are a favorite at our house, having two small children who like Halloween but aren't really into stuff that actually scares them. We go for a spooky cute theme, and these Mummy Hot Dogs fit in perfectly. You can substitute any already cooked sausage or hot dog you would like. For a few of ours I used jalapeno cheddar brats for the adults.

One thing to note is that I realize now that my crescent mummy strips didn't go high enough on the face to quite look like just the eyes were peeking through, so if you make them go up higher than I did. Luckily little kids don't care about little stuff like that. Enjoy!

Before I start with my notes, I wanted to say that this burger is delicious! One of the best burgers I have ever made. It has a mix of hamburger beef, sausage and ranch mix which makes for a wonderful texture and taste combo. This recipe comes from the great food blog, Plain Chicken. Thank you for another great recipe Stephanie!

Things I learned while making this burger. Thinly sliced cheese is the way to go. My thick hunk of cheddar that I cut off the block was just too thick. The cheese is gonna sweat just like a normal burger, which makes the face look a little icky but it is a scary pumpkin face, we're just gonna go with it.

Tomorrow I will be posting the other recipe I have made from her site recently, which is a tasty dinner.  Go check out her blog and enjoy!

I have to admit, I have enjoyed all the cookie recipes that have been posted the past year or two that use a cake mix or instant pudding. Don't get me wrong, I am all for making cookies from scratch, but it is also quite nice to cut down on the ingredient list.

These Pumpkin & White Chocolate Chip Cookies were found over at Kitchen Meets Girl. After having made several different cake mix cookie recipes, I think a key thing to note is not to over bake the cookies. This keeps them soft and chewy. Many thanks to Kitchen Meets Girl for this recipe.
