Haunted decorating

Don't get too close if you want to keep your fingers.....

 

Coffee is on......

Chandelier of skeletons and witches flying about....

 

if you look around, you'll find the creepiest things.....

Drink up.....

Sit by the cozy fire.....

Poor dear......she does miss him  :(

 

You're always welcome to sit by one of our guests.....

Don't worry, while your washing up in the guest bath he promises not to look.

 

Happy Halloween!

Hallow's Eve

We made treat bags for Jake's school out of lunch sacks. Fill with goodies, cut top with fancy scissors and tied together with ribbon or yarn. For some spookiness we attached a spider and stamped a black cat. Remember.....don't let a black cat cross your path, especially on Hallow's Eve!

I couldn't forget about Jake's Wonderful teachers. They received Black Cherry Soda tied with black ribbon and spiders :) Creepy---creep---Creepy!

 

Who would have guessed this? It's Thomas!! This little boy just steals our heart :)

I'll be back later tonight with some photos of our SPOOKY HOME. We are just finishing up the last minute decorating. Have a Spooky Evening!

Ghoulish Chicken Pot Pie

Ghoulish Chicken Pot Pie

2 cups cooked chicken breast, cut in bite size pieces
2 small packages frozen stew vegetables, cooked
2 cans cream chicken/mushroom soup
1 cup milk
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 bay leaf
2 packages ready made pie crusts or homemade

Boil chicken breasts with a few onion slices and salt for 1 hour. Set aside to cool and cut in bite size pieces. In saucepan combine soup, milk, pepper, bay leaf, vegetables and chicken. Simmer on low, stirring frequently for 30 minutes. Remove bay leaf.

Place pie crust in pie pan, pressing sides to shape of pan or with fork. Add pot pie filling and top with a second pie crust, shaping edges.

If you wish, cut cute cookie cutter shapes with an additional pie crust to decorate your pie. Cut 4 slits in pie to vent. Bake 425 for 18-22 minutes or until golden brown.

 

Since we used another pie crust we had a bunch left. What to do....make sugar-cinnamon crustos of course. Making these always reminds me of my sister, she made these all the time when I was little. My sister cuts hers in long strips, just like the real sugar crustos. In honor of Halloween, I wanted to use cookie cutter shapes....of course! Bake 400-425 for 5 to 10 minutes or until golden brown.

Jake, on the other hand. Well, he had macaroni and cheese for dinner with an ice cream cone for dessert. I knew he wouldn't touch the pot pie, so we made an exception this time :)

 

A very proud ice cream cone owner!
 

Creepy Cupcakes

Go ahead......have a cupcake :) Hope you're having a Creepy Weekend!

Spooky Caramel Apples and Crafts

Jake and I made Caramel Apples today. My favorite part, besides eating them is the Spider :) We melted a couple bags of caramels, added water and some vanilla. When everything was melted real perdy we rolled our apples (Granny Smith) in the caramel and quickly dipped the bottom in pecan bites. Our apples were set to cool on buttered wax paper.

When everything was set, we put them in a cute cup cake liner and the creepy spider crawled up to rest.

Next up, we're going to try caramel meets chocolate and some different sprinkles. YUM!

Some new Fall Dish Cloths will be available through my Website later today. Great for cleaning up after making caramel apples and stuff like that :) Grasshopper Pie, Sweet Potato Pie, Creme de Mint and Orange Creamsicle flavor-colors. Gift wrapped with a kissable tag :)

 

More Halloween Bottle cap Magnets too.
 
 

Good for hanging all your Creepy Stuff on the fridge :)

 

Happy Haunting......
