12 Days of Halloween Challenge: Day 3

Ahhh! This is such a cute snack that look like monster teeth  and you can put at a table for your Halloween party!
This is not my picture! Got it from a friend on Facebook!
Ingredients:
Apples
Peanut Butter
Lemon Juice
Small Marshmallows
Food Coloring (Optional)

Steps:
1. Wash, peel and core apples. Then cut each apple into 8 pieces.
2. Dip the cut apples in lemon juice to prevent them from turning brown.
3. Smear Peanut Butter on one side of 2 wedges.
4. Stick a few marshmallow on the peanut butter on one of the apple wedges and top with the other apple wedge-peanut butter side down.
*Optional- sprinkle food coloring on the marshmallows to make the marshmallows look like rotting teeth!

ENJOY!

"Not Shopping til I Drop" 65 Days Challenge : Day 26

Sales! Sales! Sales! That's all I'm hearing every where I go! Sales are pretty awesome, right? Especially when you can get some thing you've been meaning to try or have for a while now! Well something I've noticed while chit chatting with a friend of mine was how fast I was to pull out my money when I heard that word Sale! I never cared enough to check if it really was a sale that was WORTH splurging on. So while in this challenge of not being able to buy anything I have come across many great discounts and opportunities to buy some awesome stuff but couldn't!*sad face* but since I can not just whip out the cash I am forced to do something else. That something else is meditating on how much the sale really has... Its crazy but I actually have been able to tell myself even if I had not been in this challenge I think I would've still said NO! Crazy huh? I would've said NO! Usually I wouldn't even care and just been like hey its a sale! *haha* This challenge is definitely hurting my heart because they're some things that are SOO worth the sale; but I look at the bright side of things & I am saving a LOAD of money!! :) & I know I will finish a different, stronger and smarter spender!
On another note I would like to share with you all my new Fusebox Mineral Cosmetics "Spook-tacular Collection" on sale for only $8CAD! Check it out!

Until the next time!

12 Days of Halloween Challenge: Day 1


I joined Abigail's Boutique Designs Challenge in which we have to do 12 different posts Halloween related. I chose this recipe because it is very easy and I actually ate it in a friends house last year. It was very creepy! =) Enjoy!



Monster Toes

Recipe Ingredients:

Cocktail wieners
6-inch tortillas
Ketchup or mustard
Toothpicks


Directions

1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Cut a wedge into the end of each cocktail wiener to make a toenail.
2. Cut the tortillas into strips about 4 inches long and 3/4 inch wide. Discard the ends.
3. Soften the strips in the microwave between damp paper towels for 10 to 30 seconds.
4. Roll each wiener in a tortilla strip and secure with a toothpick.
5. Bake for 7 to 8 minutes. Remove them from the oven, then fill the toenail with ketchup or mustard. Remove the toothpicks before serving.
