Gingerbread Reindeer!
Our "Special" House
Baked with the girls today. Our roof is our walls and our walls are our roof. Whoops!!!
I had to use hot glue, Lol. The girls did the roof design and the cutting all by themselves though. It's Special!!!

Mini Thanksgiving Tables
Graham cracker sitting on sugar wafers cut to size. Plates are candy melts with decorations. I am going to buy sliced almonds - will look more like turkey with the brown skin. Add a pumpkin and candies to decorate table.
This is just a trial run - Have to make 22 of each of them! I looked, too, about making Carmel turkey legs for the plates - Did you ever see the Taste Of Home turkey made out if Carmel? On top of cupcakes!!!
I did not make that. Picture off Internet. Taste of Home...
Might use bits of granola for 'stuffing', orange non pareils for carrots...
I'll share my finished 'table' later

Ginger “Dead†Men
I saw molds online for $14.95, but I found a mold at Walmart for $1.47! So I tried both ways to indent the pattern, before baking or after baking. Works better after baking.
You actually don't need a mold, just a gingerbread man cutter and then decorate bones...
I immediately used icing so it melts thin but hardens. I am doing these for a bake sale so I want them in bags - icing not too sticky that way.
ps After baking these skeletons again, I recommend only baking three at a time. Press the skeleton mold down into the baked cookie and immediately take off cookie sheet to cooling rack and decorate those three before baking the next tray of three. With a two person process, three on a sheet continually in the oven would work...

[Salyab, you've been a blessing! I just adore how creative you are! Oh, and readers? We have a really good recipe for gingerbread cookies right here ~Linda]
Melted Witches
Six candy rounds melted on waxed paper in 275 oven. Immediately place an Oreo cookie, a pretzel stick (these were gluten free), and tinted coconut. Dip a bugle in melted chocolate (this was black) and set on Oreo. Brown would work too. Let cool.

Time to plan for Halloween
Dip Oreo in white chocolate. Add a colored candy that you normally melt. I used green. And put black melted candy in tip of that. Painted red melted chocolate to represent blood.
Simple pancakes, using a squirt bottle. Dye mix orange and green.
Use syrup for the 'streaks'

Mice can be Nice
Hard boiled eggs turned into mice. Served with Doritos. I used little pepperoni for ears. Split peas for eyes and little noodles for whiskers. A dab of mustard for the noses, or cheese in a can, if you have it (oh, the irony)
These were a big hit. So simple. They eat so much better when I make it fun!

Under the Sea...
So simple. Toast a bagel, English muffin or a hamburger bun. Dye cream cheese a light blue and spread. Decorate with broccoli, celery, carrots and add gold fish crackers. The colored ones are cute!

Running late...
My 'partner in crime' for the day was called away by work – expected to be about an hour behind schedule... Now of course, this was one of those rare mornings when I woke before the alarm clock – and now an extra hour to kill?
Three guesses – yeah, I made something. Well, with the unexpected rush, isn't it likely that breakfast got skipped? It's too hot to turn the oven on, not enough time to thaw that...
And then I remembered these energy bars! Posted on Facebook, here's the simple recipe:
This goes together in just a couple minutes, though it does have to chill to set. Should be ready to serve just on time. Yep – yummy, too!♥ Oatmeal Chocolate Peanut Butter No-Bake Candy Bars ♥**these are a healthy snack and to die for!!**it is sorta like a chocolate oatmeal no bake cookie, but extra creamy and special. it almost reminds me of fudge, but with the added texture of the oats and occasional chewy sweetness of the dried cranberries--yum! 1 cup peanut butter 2/3 cup honey 1/2 cup coconut oil (no substitutes, this is what gives its creamy texture and flavor) 2 cups oats (not instant) 1 1/4 cups mini chocolate chips 3/4 cup dried cranberries In a medium sized saucepan, melt together peanut butter, honey and coconut oil. Remove from heat and add oats, chocolate chips and dried cranberries. Stir until combined and chocolate chips are melted. Spread into a 9 x 9 pan. Refrigerate until hardened, about an hour. Store in refrigerator... Nonnie Sandifer
