This week I've been tied to my house (that's a hard thing for me)... A few days ago I looked in the mirror and found one side of my face had "frozen" - and after a trip to the doctor, he informed me that I have Bell's Palsy. Just in time for Halloween! I have to keep my left eye taped shut, and I have to drink everything holding my lips shut around a straw. I've joked with my kids & grandkids that I'm going to be a pirate for Halloween this year (aaaarrrrrggghhh!)
So. I have one good eye, and lots of downtime till this (hopefully) improves. I've pulled a few ideas I've shelved from pretty brilliant creators I've stumbled across the past few months. I've included links to the ones I could actually find.
Check them out, and hopefully I'll be back in the kitchen shortly...
Veggie Halloween Skeleton Great way to get your goblins to eat something healthy... |
Pumpkin Rice Krispy Treats (Love the Tootsie Roll stem!) |
Donut Hole, Nutella (or canned chocolate frosting), stick pretzel, and chocolate sprinkles (or chopped nuts) |
Pumpkin Roll-ups - (easy & healthier than candy) Made from sundried tomato wraps, cream cheese, & cilantro. |
Owl & Spider Krispies I loved this idea - and they are made from Cocoa Krispies (a great 'Halloween cereal') |
Halloween Smoothies Just add eyes from M&M's & halved marshmallows. (keep a healthy alternative for all the sugar in your arsenal) |
Ghostly Pancakes Spook them from the minute they get up! |
Ghost Pizza (no link available - but this is pretty straightforward. Cut slices of mozzarella into ghost shapes & dot with olive eyes) |
Ending with a little Halloween humor... Make them look twice before they flush. (a vinyl cutout, found HERE) |
oh dear - feel better soon! these ideas are great!
