Creepy Lady Fingers
Use Pillsbury bread stick dough. Cut them in half, roll into finger shapes. Add almonds for the fingernails. (I painted mine with red food coloring). Use a knife to make knuckle markings and bake.
Wednesday
Mummy Hot Dogs
- Pillsbury dough or crescent rolls
- hot dogs
- mustard or ketchup for eyes
Cut the dough into strips and wrap the hot dogs into mummies. Bake for 15 minutes at 400° Add mustard or ketchup dots for eyes. You could cut the hot dogs in half for mini mummies.
**Parents can eat left over soup from Tuesday.
Thursday
Mummy Meat Loaf
- 1 pound ground meat
- 1/2 package of breakfast sausage
- 1 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- BBQ sauce or Ketchup (I like BBQ sauce best)
- 6-8 lasagna noodles, cooked
- 2 slices of cheese
- 2 black or green olives for eyes
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°
- Combine meat, sausage, breadcrumbs and egg in a bowl.
- Coat a round glass bowl with cooking spray. This will go in the oven, so make sure it is oven safe.
- Shape mixture inside the bowl.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes until done.
- While it’s baking cook some lasagna noodles for the mummy wrap. (slice off the curly edges after they are cooked.)
- Cover meatloaf with BBQ sauce or Ketchup.
- Add cheese and olives for eyes, then wrap with lasagna.
This is my meatloaf recipe, but I found this adorable photo via FamilyCorner.com. I might make a few mini mummies to try something different. My kids will have a blast wrapping the mummy up… I doubt they will eat it, but at least it will be fun!
Friday
Ghost Grilled Cheese Sandwiches
We have ghost cookie cutters and will cut ghosts out for some spooky fun!
Try this sandwich for something different if plain grilled cheese is too boring. You could call it “Bloody Vampire Sandwiches”.
- Provolone Cheese
- Grilled Chicken
- Pasta Sauce
Weekend is leftovers! Happy Halloween!!!
