Key Lime Pie

We just had our annual St. Patrick's Day party and this was my food assignment. It is super easy and really good!

1 graham craker crust

1 small lime jello

2 containers Key Lime Pie yogurt

1 8 oz. cool whip

1/4 cup boiling water

dissolve jello in water, stir in yogurt, fold in cool whip.

spoon into crust, refrigerate overnight.

I made two pies and used 3 yogurts and 1 cool whip, it made the perfect amount. I also used low fat yogurt and cool whip.

Sugar Cookies

1 cup butter, softened
2 cups sugar
cream together
2 eggs
1 cup sour cream
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. soda
4 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
4 1/2 - 6 cups flour (may need to add more depending on how moist you like your dough)
roll out to 1/2 inch think
bake @ 350 for 10-12 minutes (depending on how golden brown you like them)

Cream Cheese Frosting (from Oreo Cookies)
4 oz. soft cream cheese
1/2 cube soft butter
1 3/4 cup powdered sugar

Pumpkin Faces

This is a Halloween tradition in Josh's family, so it falls on me to make them. Mine never look like pumpkins, so I call them scary faces.

1/2 lb. ground beef

1 T. minced onion

1/4 c. mustard

4 oz shredded mozzarella

2 cans refrigerated biscuits

Brown ground beef, drain. Stir in onion, mustard and cheese. Cook over medium until cheese melts. Roll out biscuit into 3 inch circle. Spoon meat filling into 10 biscuits. Cut faces in remaining biscuits and place over meat, press edges together. Make stems out of left over dough.

Bake at 350 for 10 minutes or until golden brown.

I always double this recipe, and when we eat them we dip them in more mustard.

Here is a cute picture of Owen helping me make them when he was little.

Halloween Eyeballs

Halloween Eyeball Recipe

I used M&M's instead of chocolate covered peanuts.

They look so cute but I haven't even eaten one yet. It makes me nauseous just looking at that much sugar.
