Halloween Decor - Oct 2011



Tom, as a pumkin.  That was a self portrait.  I couldn't find a scary enough wreath, so instead I made one.  This is a snake and spider wreath.  I've also seem these done where everything is painted black.  I like that, too.  But the color really catches your eye as you come into our house.  Also, those are pumkin lights.  It's a little hard to see, but the little pumkin has holes drilled into it and it lights up with a tea light.

Zombies are back tonight!

Not only do my kids turn 2, but, the Walking Dead zombies are back for Season 2 tonight!

In honor of this, here is my sign:

Mummy wrapped candy bars

I saw these on pinterest and thought they were so cute!

Recipe - Italian Sausage and Bean Bake - Non-Crockpot


This easy and delicious recipe came from the Dinner Doctor cookbook, page 213.  You take cooked ground sausage, a can of beans, diced tomatoes and cheese - layer them and bake until bubbling.

I added fresh, diced onion because we love onions.  I baked it at 375 degrees for 30 minutes and it was too long.  Next time, 20 minutes will be my time choice.  I really liked this and would make it again.  My husband insists that this casserole needs to be served over pasta.  But, take his opinion with a grain of salt as he would eat only carbs, if allowed!

And, a note for my girlfriends - if you buy the Jimmy Dean Sausage roll at BJs, you can make the sausage thing apps and this casserole from the sausage.
