Are you looking for some fun, festive food for Halloween? Our wonderful Mother sent me the pictures and instructions for making Jello worms for Halloween. The pictures look pretty realistic. I am sure that kids would love this!

Looking for a simple, quick, inexpensive fall craft? How about making these adorable pumpkins. All you need is 3 toilet paper rolls (per pumpkin), paint and scissors.
First cut one TP roll in half-ish to make the center. You will want it to be a little smaller than half. You will use the other half of that roll to make the stem & vine.
Paint the larger half brown & green to use as the stem & vine.
Paint the 2 whole rolls & the 1/2 roll orange. These will make the body of the pumpkin.
Cut the two rolls up the middle, then in small strips. (about 1/4″ thick) If they are much thicker than that they don’t stay on as well.
The strips will naturally curl. After I cut them, I curled them around my finger to help them keep their shape. Then I hooked them around the 1/2 roll to form the pumpkin.
Then I curled up the stem and squeezed it in the middle along with some curly green for vines. That’s it! I told you it was simple.
Didn’t they turn out cute?

Dinner
I typically serve dinner with a bread or rolls and a vegetable. I am super excited to be picking up my chicken breast ($1.49 per lb!) next Monday (Idaho, Memphis readers will be able to order this week). I plan to do a lot of prep work with the chicken next Monday before I freeze it to save me time down the road.
Monday- Homemade Hawaiian Pizza
Tuesday - Venison Roast & Mashed Potatoes
Wednesday- Shepard’s Pie (using left over roast)
Thursday – Chicken Noodle Soup (the real stuff, last week I went with the quick version)
Friday- Grilled Salmon & Rice
Saturday- Chicken & Rice Bake
Sunday- BBQ Pork Spare Ribs (Looking for a new recipe, any suggestions?)
Lunch Snacks
We stick to a simple lunch. I generally eat leftovers or a PB&J (Yum!). Daniel takes a simple deli sandwich and snacks.
Zucchini Bread Muffins (from freezer)
Freezer Chocolate Chip Cookies
Carrot sticks
String cheese
To Freeze This Week:
Each week I try to add a few things to the freezer. If I do this, I always have a few meals in the freezer for a quick lunch or dinner.
Apple Muffins (recipe to come!)
Apple Pie (Still have not made this, sorry! Hopefully I will be able to squeeze it in this week.)
Chicken Noodle Soup (Love freezing this to have for a quick meal)
