I hate Halloween candy. Sure, it tastes good and it's tons of fun dressing my kids up and walking from door to door to collect it. But it tempts me all month long until it's time to pig out on turkey and pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving. I hate seeing my kids eat candybar after candybar without taking a breath. I know I can't change Halloween and I really don't want to, but for the last couple years I've tried to make Halloween dinner a little more exciting. Hopefully if the candy doesn't kill all their brain cells they'll one day realize that food can be fun, delicious and healthy. So here's what I served up this Halloween.
Hot dog mummies. Served with all beef franks of course!

These were my favorites. Monster mouths made out of pears and slivered almonds.
And to round things out a steaming hot bowl of of pumpkin soup. My kids didn't love it but I thought it was warm goodness on a rainy night.
