Creepy halloween band aid treats

It's that time of year again! My favorite holiday, Halloween! Here is one of my creepy recipes that I made this year...creepy halloween bandaids! These little treats are easy to make, tasty and creepy looking!

Here is what you'll need:

Graham crackers 

Vanilla frosting

Jam or jelly (you can use pretty much anything that's red) 

Food coloring (optional, not shown)

First off, you'll want to carefully break your graham crackers. There's dotted lines so this step should be pretty easy! The only tough part is making sure they don't break apart when you are doing this step. I'm sure we've all been there!

Once that is done, you'll want to spread your frosting on the middle of the cookie, making that gauze strip.

Lastly, you'll want to spread on your jam, jelly or whatever you have into the middle of the frosting. This create the blood drops of the bandaid. I found that my spread wasn't as red as I hoped so I scooped some of it out into a microwave safe bowl, nuked it for 15 seconds, added a few drops of red food coloring and stirred. This helped big time making the spread that nice red color that you see in the picture. I hope you all liked this recipe and don't be afraid to try it for yourself! You'll be amazed at how easy this recipe is! Happy Halloween! :) 

Easy chicken bake (from Aldi)

Thai recipe is a household favorite. It's easy, cheap and filling! Here is what you'll need.

(Preheat the oven to 350 degrees)

3-4 chicken breasts

2-3 cut up potatoes. I used baking and didn't peel them. If you use something smaller, you'll need to add a few more :) Just add enough to fill he side of the pan.

1 can of green beans, or you can use fresh. I used canned because that was all that I had on hand at the moment.

1 packet if Italian seasoning dressing mix.

1 stick of butter, cut up into chunks.

I used a large baking dish and made sure to layer each ingredient in a row.

Then you cut up the butter and scatter that all around the pan.

Next, you would sprinkle the seasoning all over the entire dish. Then, bake at 350 degrees for an hour. When you take the pan out, test the chicken for doneness (it should be 160 degrees at the center and there should be no pink). Serve and enjoy! 

Easy pumpkin doughnuts

Here is what you'll need for the easiest, most simple batch of pumpkin cake doughnuts you will ever make!

One box of yellow cake mix (don't add egg, water, oil)

One can of pumpkin purée 

Optional add-ins (cinnamon, nutmeg, etc.)

Directions:

Mix both of the ingredients together in a bowl until batter is moistened. Now you will want spoon the batter into the pastry pan. I used a doughnut pan and filled a pastry bag to make it easier to fill the cavities. You'll want to fill each slot 1/2 way full because the batter is thick. Back for 8-10 minutes at 350 degrees and let cool on a wire rack. To test for doneness, the doughnuts will spring back when touched. I sifted powdered sugar on my doughnuts when they were cooled off completely. You'll want to eat them immediately, they can last up to a day (not that long in my house). 

The two ingredients :)

And now, mixed hehe ;)

The baking process :)

Cooling the doughnuts. One disappeared, that's odd ;)

These were so good! :D 

Make sure to remember; if you are adding any topping, wait until the doughnuts are completely cooled off! Test out with other toppings as well, I am sure that caramel sauce would be amazing! I think I will try that next time! :)

DIY Halloween graveyard

It's that season again! Time to decorate our house for Halloween. Here are. Few pictures of the set up process. There will be a new post for the finished project :)

We had lots of boxes up in our attict filled with Halloween decoration (mostly outdoor).

We are making a path for the trick or treaters to follow this year.

Not quite set up yet, see our conjuring witches? ;)

Mr. Harley setting something up. The entrance to our path.

Our Grim Reaper (maybe).

The conjuring witches again, it's a little windy out today!

The start of our graveyard :)

Just a few tombstones here. P.s. Read some of the names ;)

Harley fixing the grim reaper :)

Our fence was home made! Tutorial maybe one day ;)

The graves on the far side of our yard :)

Nothing much to see here, just a pile of bones :)

Where our path ends. Right at our canopy where we will be sitting outside around our fire glass table, handing out treats :) We hope to get many kids this year! :)
