Pumpkin Fun!

Thursday I got the idea that it would be fun to carve a pumpkin this year for Halloween. We usually don't carve, we prefer to paint them because of the squishy-ness from pumpkins. I remember when we were first dating, I painted a cute Frankenstein pumpkin and Don painted some random guy from the newspaper (**I should add that it was a very good painting and may have been the winning factor in why I married him – I do have a picture maybe I’ll post it). On Friday we invited the Burnett's over to carve pumpkins with us, it was a lot of fun!! I know why I have avoiding carving pumpkins... its grose... but I think our pumpkins turned out pretty cute! However, next year we'll stick to painting!!

I've Been Boo'd

At the beginning of the week I got Boo'd by the neighborhood ghost, which means you have 2 days to make 2 treats and take them to 2 people. 4 days later...ha ha...I finally decide to make homemade oreos and take them around. The funny thing is I do not consider myself a cook at all, but if there is one thing that my family always counts on me to make it's homemade oreos. I even bought neon food dye(teal, lime green, purple and pink are all of the colors) and made orange frosting. Did you know that eight drops of lime green and 3 of pink makes a pretty decent orange? Crazy huh?
Here's the recipe for the 'Halloween' Oreos...

Halloween Oreos

1 pkg Devil's Food (don't buy off brand )
2 eggs

3/4 vegetable oil (applesauce works too)

1 can of Cream Cheese Frosting

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Mix top three together, roll into balls size of meatballs and place them on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 7-8 min (they are ready when they flatten out and start to crack). Let cookies cool and then smash them together with frosting (you can add food coloring to make orange frosting). Makes about 2 dozen WHOLE cookies...

Now your ready to go Boo someone....
