So, when I settled down with my nice glass of wine after two and a half hours of trick or treating, it came to me: use the baking molds and make little pocket sandwiches!
I got this Halloween baking cookie pan as a gift, and kept trying to get to a point in the day when I could make some cookies...but with two little ones, it just didn't happen. But with some store bought bread dough, lunch meat and cheese - presto - little pocket sandwiches you can serve hot or cold (well, I mean AFTER you bake them.)
And who says, you can't bake Halloween cookies in November?!?! I've got another 30 days to try!
Plated Lunch:
- Two pocket sandwiches with Ham and White cheddar. (How-To do this)
- Snickers candy (for dessert) - I have to take this off when Thing 1 sits down to eat, or he will eat it first!
- Potato stix and a Mellowcreme pumpkin
- Roasted pumpkin seeds - he ended up not liking these, even though I sprinkled with Italian seasoning, garlic powder and parmesan cheese
- Cheese candy corn - I made this with Vermont orange cheddar, Kraft American cheese, and a Baybel. You can see my post on that here.
- Pumpkin cookie cutter with apple slice
- Carrot pumpkins - My little guy is not keen on carrots, so I only gave him two.
Bento Version:
- Pumpkin seeds (I ended up taking these out for her, because she's still a little young)
- Apple slices made with a pumpkin cookie cutter
- Carrots cut into pumpkins
- Potato stix and a Mellowcreme pumpkin
- Cheese candy corn - I used a Baybel (white), Kraft American cheese (yellow), and Vermont Orange Cheddar (orange). More on that here. (posting coming soon)
