Fun Friday: Halloween Tricks and Treats!

Just a few ideas for this coming holiday!

Mummy Meatloaf

I don’t usually make anything special on Halloween.  #1 – As a Christian, I’ve never really been into the death/graveyard/scary stuff associated with Halloween –  (though – I did enjoy dressing up and going trick-or-treating as a kid.  We just had to dress as something “good” and not “evil”.) – so I don’t really decorate other than carving a funny or cute jack-o-lantern.  #2 – the kids usually just want to rush out the door and go get as much candy as their little arms can carry and don’t care about much else.  #3 – I don’t like to cook (so I’m always looking for ways to get out of it!) #4 – I can be quite lazy when it comes to holidays lately (though – I like to call it “practical” sometimes! Why stress out over a ton of things instead of just enjoying it without all the “extras”? 🙂 . . . . ).

BUT . . .

After seeing this mummy meatloaf in the newspaper on Wed . . . I’ve decided to make “something special” this Halloween! 🙂  We need a bit of fun and something “different” in our lives lately . . . and really – how hard can it be to throw some biscuit dough on a meatloaf?  I might even add “worms” and “eyeballs” to the menu like mentioned in the article! 🙂

Here are a couple other Mummy ideas/variations:

• 

  Disney Family Fun recipe – This one is covered in white American cheese instead of biscuit dough (my cheese-aholic son would LOVE this version!)

• Family Corner or Gourmet Mom on the Go (and other sites) -This one is just a round head all wrapped up with lasagna noodles.
• Mummy Dogs from Our Best Bites
