Monster Foot Loaf

Ingredients

• 2 lbs ground pork
• 2 eggs beaten
• 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
• 4 cloves garlic minced
• 1 medium yellow onion grated (reserve ends for toenails)
• 1/2 white pepper
• 1/2 tsp -1 tsp salt to taste
• 1/2 tsp ground mustard
• For the sauce:
• 1 cup ketchup
• 1/4 cup brown sugar

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Spray a 9x13 baking pan with non stick spray.
• In large bowl add all meatloaf ingredients.
• Gently mix together ( I use my hands or a rubber spatula) until combined.
• Divide mixture in half and place on the greased pan.
• Form each half into a large foot shape.
• Using the remaining ends of the onion cut into ten toenails.  Please 5 on each end of the "feet" .
• Mix up the sauce until smooth and reserve about 1/4 cup for topping after baking.
• Spread on top of the meatloaf feet, making sure some drips down the sides.
• Bake for 50-60 minutes or until center is cooked through.
• You can serve with the remaining sauce or spread it on top.
• Cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

In a large bowl add all meatloaf ingredients. 

I like to add ground mustard, pepper, and salt. Along with fresh garlic. You can adjust these to your tastes and even add a seasoning blend.

My secret to a juicy meatloaf: grated onion! A grated sweet yellow onion, juice and all, add flavor and moisture! 

Gently mix together all ingredients until combined. I use my hands and don’t mush together snd overnight or it will be tough! 

Divide mixture in half and place in a greased large baking dish. Form into two large foot shapes. 

Make your sauce by combining one cup ketchups and 1/4 cup brown sugar. Mix until smooth. 

Reserve some sauce for topping after baking then spread about 3/4 cup of sauce all over the feet making sure to coat tops and sides well. 

Using the remaining ends of the onion cut into ten toenail squares.  

Add five onion nails to each end of the feet. 

Bake at 375 degrees for about 50 minutes until done. 

Top with extra reserved sauce (or serve on the side). Let cool for about 5 minutes. 

Slice and serve your spooky meal!

“Nobody likes me, everybody hates me. Guess I’ll go eat worms!” 

Slimy, scary, and oh so succulent Halloween Jell-O worms are a tasty treat to try this month with your kiddos!

Eating slimy Jell-O worms for a Halloween treat!

Print

Halloween Slimy Worms

Ingredients

• 1 box 3 oz red Jell-O (I used raspberry)
• 1/2 pkg unflavored gelatin for extra firmness
• 6 tbsp whipping cream
• 1 1/2 cups boiling water
• green food coloring
• 50 + flexible plastic straws

Instructions

• Combine 1/2 pkg gelatin and one pkg red Jell-O in bowl and add boiling water. Stir until dissolved.
• Let it cool to lukewarm and then add the whipping cream and about 8-10 drops of green food coloring (to get the milky red color). Stir again.
• Stretch out the bendy part of all of your straws. Place them all into a bowl or container.  The tighter they are packed in, the better. I like to add a large rubber band around them.
• Pour the Jell-O mixture into the straws. Let it set until firm. You can refrigerate overnight if you have time.
• Using a rolling pin, roll over the straws and squeeze them out. You can also hold the straws under warm water to release the worms.
• Add slimy worms to a bowl and serve your spooky treat!

Halloween is almost here y’all and I am so excited I can hardly stand it! This time of year is always busy for us with Ava’s birthday the week before along with family visiting and festivals and events just about every day {or so it seems}. But the girls and I always make fun matching costumes and we love to creative delicious Halloween treats to give to friends and family. This year for Ava’s preschool party we had to come up with a clever way to decorate sealed store bought food. We decided on Ava’s two favorite treats: cheesesticks and orange cups made into pumpkins and ghosts, of course. For Stella’s music class party we made Oreo spiders, which was a fun craft that the girls loved making {and eating}. Check out the pictures and instructions below and let me know what you are making for your kids Halloween treats this year!

My sweet girls dressed up as butterflies this year.

Mommy matched, of course!

Ingredients:

Ava loved taking the pumpkin orange cups and the ghost cheesesticks to her preschool class party.
Only store bought and sealed food was allowed so these were easy non candy foods to bring that the kids loved!

For Stella’s music class we brought Oreo Spiders along with candy bracelets and goodie bags and napkins for taking home.

My Mom is visiting for Ava’s birthday and she helped decorate the ghosts.

Make sure you wipe the moisture off the cheese first. Then use a Sharpie to draw the faces.

My talented artist Ashton drew the funny faces on the orange cups.

I used the face templates/ideas from this page and just printed out the page for reference.
Check it out here.

This works best with double stuff Oreos. The more cream, the better everything sticks.

For the Oreo spiders, I broke 4 pretzel sticks in half and pushed 4 halves into each side
of an Oreo cookie to makes legs.
Cut off the white part of candy corn and stick two into the bottom of each Oreo for fangs.
Now add a couple dots in the center of the Oreos tops and press on candy eyeballs.

Happy Halloween friends! Hope you enjoyed these easy spooky treats!

The post Halloween Kids Class Party Treats – Spooky Spiders, Ghosts, and Pumpkins, oh my! appeared first on For the Love of Food.

We decided to fill gloves with popcorn, complete with a few Halloween sprinkles and candy corn fingernails, and then for a final touch we taped on glitter spiders and a lollipop {because it is Halloween and you have to give them candy }. They turned out great and Ava enjoyed helping me and her friends loved them, of course!
