Our main entree is a Halloween pasta salad. We used Kraft Macaroni and Cheese Halloween pasta
(saved the cheese packet for popcorn) and added a little bit of food coloring to the water when cooking. We added some light Italian dressing, orange peppers, black olives and a cheesy provolone ghosts to the top.
Our vegetable side is golden beets cut into pumpkin shapes with a mini cookie cutter. (yes, the girls like beets...Mama too!)
Our fruit side is a clementine that has been peeled and embellished with our food safe markers to make it look like a jack-o-lantern.
Finally, our dairy/dessert is vanilla yogurt...made into a scary spider eyeball with a chocolate ball and some strawberry pieces. We also added a few pieces of candy corn and 2 mini candy pumpkins to the fruit compartment as a special Halloween inspired treat.
ps - we used the orange lids on our Easy Lunch Boxes to make it even more Halloweenie!
Hop along to see what Bobbi has stirred up at Bobbi's Bentos!
