Halloween is here... 2 parties down and only one more to go!

I love Halloween and have tons of fun with it, but I'm so ready for it to be over this year! So far I've thrown a party for my Girl Scouts and a Halloween dinner party for some friends. Tomorrow is the class parties at school, then trick or treating, then we're done!

But for now, this is what I've made in the past week:

A pumpkin cake

With an orange and purple swirly center...

Moostaches to wear if you don't have a costume (and to eat too!)

Brain dips for snacking

Monster eyeballs

Shrunken heads in apple cider

A heart for dipping your apples into.

Ghosts (and Boos) for decorating

Glue ghosts (make a glue ghost on parchment paper and let dry, then peel paper off)

Jello brain (of course, we have to have a Jello brain!)

 Pumpkin tangerines

Apple slices with holiday cutouts

Ghost jugs (lasts longer than pumpkins and recyclable when you're done!)

'Eye of newt' soup

Human body for dinner (before ribs were added and as served)

What great ideas did you have for Halloween? Please share and give me ideas for next year!

I did it!!

I conquered my fear of the Crockpot (at least step 1 of conquering it!) Last week I spent one day cooking 10 meals for my freezer. Most of them are Crockpot recipes, which is amazing!

 I took this (and a lot of meat!):

and made it into this!

7 Crockpot meals and 3 pot pies, all of which went straight into the freezer. All I have to do is dump the bag into the Crockpot along with whatever liquid the recipe requires, and I have dinner ready with literally no prep!

It took 3 1/2 hours of solid chopping and pre-cooking, but that's only about 20 minutes per meal! Plus it only dirtied 1 pot, 1 skillet, 2 cutting boards, 2 knives, 3 bowls and a handful of utensils. I normally make more dishes than that cooking one meal!

Once I taste them all I'll post the recipes and a shopping list (I saw several other blogs that had done this and later posted that the recipes were bland and I didn't want to do that to you.)

In the meantime, here's a yummy Crockpot breakfast recipe:

Breakfast Casserole

1 pkg bacon (or ham or sausage, the bacon got lost in the dish)

1 onion, chopped

1 red or green bell pepper, chopped

32 oz frozen hashbrowns

2 1/2 c shredded cheese

12 eggs

1c milk

Spices/seasoning as desired (I used seasoning salt, fresh ground pepper, onion and garlic powder and chipotle)

Cook bacon and chop.

Saute pepper, garlic and onion for 5 minutes.

Place 1/3 hashbrowns in Crockpot. Add 1/3 bacon, 1/3 garlic and onion mix and 1/3 of the cheese. Repeat. 

Mix egg, milk and spices (make sure to season heavily enough for the potatoes, I seasoned based on the quantity of eggs and it was bland because I forgot about the potatoes). Pour over layers in Crockpot. Cook on low for 8-10 hours or until 160 degrees. (Mine was done in less than 8 but my Crockpot runs hot).

Step Into Fall F8

I have a confession...

I'm afraid of my Crockpot!

I'm not afraid that it's going to become animated and eat me, or that it's going to burn my house down (although I do have that thought sometimes...).

I'm afraid because I don't use it enough. I haven't figured out how to convert recipes to work in it. My kids aren't big fans of one-pot meals, so often all that work is wasted. Plus, I'm a taster when I cook. I taste, mess with the seasoning, taste, etc... which you can't do with a Crockpot.

So I'm on a mission. I'm going to use my Crockpot at least once a week. I'll post the good, the bad and the ugly. Plus tomorrow I'm doing a massive food prep day (like cooking a whole month's worth of meals in one day), almost all of which are Crockpot meals. Chop everything in advance, bag it, freeze it an dump it in the Crockpot. So I'll share those recipes once we taste them.

Here's dinner from a few nights ago. It came out pretty well, although I'd much rather use it as taco filling than eating it over rice.

Crockpot Salsa Chicken

2-4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)

2 cans Rotel tomatoes (or 1 lg jar salsa)

1/2 cup chopped onion (skip if using salsa)

1 can black beans, drained and rinsed

1 can corn, drained and rinsed

1 can chopped green chiles

½ cup taco seasoning

1 TB garlic powder

2 t onion powder

2 t cumin

2 t chipotle powder (optional, unless you like heat!)

Put chicken in bottom of crockpot. Add all other ingredients and cook on low 6-8 hours. Shred chicken and add 1 c sour cream (optional). Serve over rice or use as taco filling.

 Before Cooking

 After Cooking

 After shredding and adding sour cream (possibly skip the sour cream and 

put it on separately, it makes it a little weird if you reheat it).

Let me know if you have any favorite Crockpot recipes! I need inspiration. Please!
