Mama Dora’s Sour Cream Pound Cake

Halloween Owl

This guy is so cute and easy to make!
Take chocolate moon pies
oreo cookies
miniature mm's. I only had chocolate raisins, so this made the eyes, but the mm's are so much cuter.
I piped left over orange frosting for the nose but you could use candy corn for the nose. I detest candy corn, so I didn't bother buying any.

Open moon pie, seperate oreo cookie and attach cookies to moonpie with melted chocolate or with frosting. Apply mm's for eyes and candy corn for nose or pipe both with frosting.

Spiderweb pizzas!

I love woman's day and this is what I found! Please go here for the professional version.


Ingredients needed:
Jar of speghetti sauce
personal pizzas or english muffins
olives
string cheese


One English muffin and cut in half.

Add speghetti sauce to the top of muffin

Add pepperoni to muffin and sauce

Take string cheese and pull apart very thin strips and make 3 circles in around the muffin. Then add string parallel to the circles and your web is made.


For one spider you will need 3 olives

Take one olive and cut it in half length wise. You now have the body for two seperate spiders.

Take another olive and cut in half to form circles.

Take your third olive and just snip off the tip of the olive on both sides. This is the head of the spider.

I have always been a huge fan of chocolate chip pancakes and even more so chocolate chip waffles! Being Halloween we decided to make chocolate chip ghosts! YUM YUM GOOD!
Her pancakes look a bit better than mine but I am quite sure mine taste better. But, I do just adore gourmet mom! Check her out.
