Halloween


Halloween lunches for the week: 

Ghost eggs. Nori punched with regular hole punch and hand cut mouth, on a bed of greens, with rice cheese cut with my letter cutters.  We dried the apple mouth with some cashew pieces. Whole Foods had these awesome ghost potato crisps! They were so yummy and so much fun! I drew a jack-o-lantern face on their cuties. 






My little one, who is allergic to eggs, got a mashed potato ghost: 



The hot dog fingers are always a hit! So gross though! I cut the hot dogs, then boil them in water and a bit of coconut aminos , added some slivered almonds as super gross fingernails! 



Halloween Breakfast: 

I tried to make some pancake ghosts... they didn't quite turn out as I had hoped, but they are certainly creepy! 



A creepy pancake: 



And some creepy eggs: 



Dinner, which was supposed to be tentacle chicken pot pies in mason jars. I have not yet perfected the art of gluten, dairy, and egg free pie crust, so they were very difficult and frustrating to make, and I was so disappointed how they turned out, but, my kids were happy.

Boo!

Spooky potato ghosts!

Leftover mashed potatoes and I used a cookie cutter to form them, used a hole punch to make nori eyes and mouth.

Worm Sandwich

Look, I baked bread! Okay, it was out of the package, but still fairly impressive for me.

Had this idea from a friend and bought some Surf Sweet Gummy Worms - 2.75 oz - Bag for some peanut butter and worm sandwiches!

Sides of grapes, cashews, pears and snap peas.

nom nom nom

Okay I am pretty sure I just grossed myself out.

For these super disgusting fingers, I cut some turkey dogs in half, then sliced some knuckle lines.  I cooked them up in Coconut Aminos (Two 8oz Bottles) and brown sugar for some extra creep. Slivered almonds for the fingernails, placed in some gluten free pasta and added some ketchup. Yum.

Braaaaiins....

Last night I cooked up some Ka-Me Bean Thread, 3.75-Ounce Units (Pack of 12) and mixed them with the arugula/spinach mix to make them green. I really wanted to make brains out of them but didn't have a Brain Gelatin Mold. I made a couple of brain molds out of aluminum foil, poured the noodles in and formed them a bit more. I was half expecting them to be completely flat by the time I got up but they held their shape and turned out looking like brains!
