Halloween Foods To Make with Kids

SAVE & SHARE:


When you bring your children into the kitchen, cutting, stirring, folding and mixing, they learn where their food comes from and what a labor of love it is to prepare your own meal.  I loved getting my boys together to make these Halloween treats, even if they made a little mess! We used cookie cutters to make ‘frightening’ sandwiches in the shape of ghosts, scary cats and pumpkins.  Plus we made ‘Mummy Pizza’ using Mozzarella and sandwich rounds.  I also let them sip on Tru Moo Scream, orange milk.  Packed with calcium, it doesn’t have any added growth hormones or high fructose corn syrup.  My boys (and two nephews) ‘screamed’ for it!  Above is the video tutorial and below are the recipes, hope you give them a try!

Scary Sandwiches

[ingredients]
Scary Sandwiches
Nature’s Own Whitewheat Sandwich Bread
Nature’s Own Whole Wheat Sandwich Bread
Condiments like mayo and mustard
Filling Combinations (Cucumber and cream cheese) Turkey and Cheese, PB&J)
Canned olives sliced into small pieces for eyes
Cucumber peel, cut into triangles and crescent moons (for pumpkin face)
Cookie Cutters in shapes of ghosts, bats, scary cats, pumpkins
Directions: 
Assemble the sandwiches. What I liked about using Nature’s Own is there are no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives, and no high fructose corn syrup. Plus the whole wheat is high in fiber, even the whitewheat, which is great for picky eaters. Then cut out in Halloween shapes using cooking cutters.  Dot with olive eyes, or in the case of the pumpkin, the cucumber peel (a little mayo or mustard can help them ‘stick’ to the sandwich). Enjoy!
