A Halloween Cooking Recipe
That's Quick, Easy and Nourishing!
Need a Halloween cooking recipe that's quick, easy and will keep the kids satisfied? Let's face it, over Halloween they fill up with so many treats that we need to try to get some real food into them before they head out to overload on sugary sweets.
These Halloween foods are simple to prepare, suitably ghoulish to frighten the kids and will reassure you that they have some 'real' food in their tummies! If your kids are feeling helpful, these Halloween recipes are so easy, that they can even pitch in too!
Blood-shot Eyeballs
Ingredients
6 hard-boiled eggs (medium size)
6 oz whipped cream cheese
12 green olives stuffed with pimentos
Red food coloring or ketchup
Once the eggs are cooked, allow them to cool and peel. Half eggs widthwise and remove the yolks. Fill the hole with cream cheese, smoothing the surface as much as possible. Press an olive into each cream cheese eyeball, pimento up, for an eerie green iris and red pupil. Dip a toothpick
into ketchup and draw broken blood vessels in the cream cheese.
Serve on a bed of lettuce.
Bloody Brains
Ingredients
One package of softened cream cheese
Jar of salsa
Crackers
Place the cream cheese on a platter. Shape the cream cheese into an oval, "brain" shape and use a toothpick to draw squiggly lines to make it look more 'brain-like'.
Pour salsa over the cream cheese.
Surround the "brain" with the crackers.
Pus Pockets
Ingredients
4 small Pitas
8 oz Mozzarella cheese -- shredded
Ketchup
Preheat the oven to 350F/180C. Slit open each pita along 1/4 of its edge to make a pocket, and spoon
1/2 cup shredded cheese into each one. Place the stuffed pitas on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for
15 minutes, or until the pitas turn golden brown. Remove from the oven. With a knife, poke a hole in the
top of each pita. Carefully squeeze pitas, they'll be hot, until a little melted cheese oozes out of the
hole. Dab ketchup around the hole and arrange on a platter.
Roasted Pumpkin Seeds
Save those seeds from Jack-O-Lantern making -- you'll enjoy them cooked as these tasty treats! A really easy Halloween cooking recipe that uses up all those seeds that you'd otherwise be throwing away. Ingredients
4-1/4 cups raw pumpkin seeds
1 tablespoon cooking oil
1 teaspoon salt
16 clear plastic bags or 6-inch-square pieces of colored cellophane wrap
Ribbon In a medium mixing bowl combine pumpkin seeds, cooking oil, and salt. Spread mixture onto a waxed-paper-lined 15x10x1-inch baking pan. Let stand for 24 to 48 hours or till dry, stirring occasionally.
Remove waxed paper from baking pan. Toast seed in a 325F/160C oven for 35 to 40 minutes, stirring once or twice. Let cool slightly. Pat seeds with paper towels to remove excess oil.
Package 1/4 cup of the seeds in each bag or place seeds in the center of cellophane wrap, then bring up edges. Tie closed with the ribbon. Makes 16 (1/4 cup) servings.
 TIP- Use this crunchy snack for prizes in a pumpkin race. Divide the kids into two groups. Give each group a pumpkin and have the kids race by rolling the pumpkin with their feet, hands, or noses. Ants on a Log
