[Guest guest]

Hello, Im having a little competition at my work for a scarry but

yummy halloween theme dessert or main dish. Does anyone have any

suggestions?? Thanks!

Too early yet, I haven't thought of this holiday. I'm trying to end

summer LOL

Does the dish have to be something scary? Do you have a scary bowl to

serve it from?

Spaghetti looks like worms, eggs could be eyeballs.

Halloween but I haven't looked at the recipes yet.

This is a recipe for cookies that are on a stick. You could use ghost

and other Halloween cookie cutters. The recipe works fine either with

the dowel (on the stick) or not.

Cut-Out Cookies in a Flower Pot

You will need about 6 dozen dowels (or wood skewers), cut to

approximately 6 inches (with some longer and some shorter) for cookie

sticks. "

INGREDIENTS:

2 cups butter, softened

3 cups white sugar

4 eggs

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon butter flavored extract

7 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

DIRECTIONS:

1. Cream margarine and sugar. Add eggs and flavorings and mix well.

Stir flour, baking powder and salt together. Add to batter and mix well.

2. CHILL 3-4 hours or overnight before using.

3. Roll cookies out approximately 1/4 inch thick and insert cookie

sticks at least 1/3 to 1/2 way into cookie.

4. Bake cookies at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 8-10 minutes.

This dough keeps well in a covered container in the refrigerator for a

couple of weeks.

5. Decorate as desired. Display 3-7 cookies in a 6 inch clay pot

(depending on size of cookie). Weigh pot down with dried beans and cut

a circle of Styrofoam to fit snugly into top. Add ribbons and enjoy. Ann

One year I made a spaghetti sauce from black plum tomatoes; it was a

very dark red color. Then I stuffed some large manicotti with a mix

of cottage cheese and parmesan. I served two manicotti set at an

angle on a bed of sauteed spinach and drizzled the dark red sauce

around it. I called it Compound Fracture on Turf (we had been

watching some old football footage of Joe Theisman).

 

Peace,

Diane
