By the time dinner rolled around, I still wasn’t as hungry as I usually am and decided to make a lighter meal that included grilled teriyaki pork chops, served with a side of squash and onions, sautéed in olive oil.
I followed this meal up with a little baking and snacking, but you’ll have to wait until tomorrow for the recipe debut. It’s a good (and healthy!) one.
Hint: It reminds me a lot of this recipe, but scaled down a bit for one person.
Halloween Food
After dinner I spent entirely too much time browsing Pinterest and looking for fun and delicious Halloween goodies. I figured you guys might get a kick out of some of the amazingly creative creations I stumbled upon as well.
Check ‘em out!
(Note: All sources are linked above the pictures in case you’re interested in making them yourself.)
- Vegetable Skeleton (This reminds me of the veggie turkey my mom and sister made last year!)
And I leave you with this…
My maturity amazes me.

They’ll love to stir everything in and I’ll love digging into it during naptime! It’s a win-win!!

Every year my family has a pumpkin carving and halloween food party. We all make different awesome Halloween recipes. It’s so much fun.

I prefer the cutsie Halloween food!

Shannon says
Such cute ideas I love it!!! I am going to have a baking marathon for all kinds of sweets before thanksgiving this year that are yummy and creative. I want to mix things up because we usually just get a couple of pies from a local orchard. I would love to make some halloween goodies but since I don’t have a family aka hubby and kids to gobble up all my treats, Ill end up eating everything myself which I definitely don’t need…1 candy corn cupcake = indulgence….15 candy corn cupcakes…fat bastard…
