Halloween Mummies Two Ways

For our Halloween dinner prior to trick or treating we had mummies two ways. Sausage mummies, and pizza muffin mummies. We have had the mini pizzas before but I LOVED the sausage mummies!

Sausage Mummies

Sundried tomatoe Chicken Sausage

1 can refriderated crescent rolls

Mustard for eyes or to dip

Preheat 350 degrees

1. Slice sausage in half, and wrap with a single crescent roll. If you slice them in half, you will have the exact number of each sausage and rolls.

2. Place on cookie sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes until rolls are golden brown.

English Muffin Mummies

Whole wheat muffins

Tomato sauce

Reduced Fat Provalone

Sliced Olives for Eyes

Preheat Broiler

1. Toast muffins as much as possible to keep the sauce from getting to deep into the muffin.

2. Top muffin with sauce and cheese, place on cookie sheet and place under broiler until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

3. Top with olive eyes.

*Even though this is Halloween inspired the chicken sausages were very good, and if you could find the reduced fat/calorie crescent rolls you could reduce the amount of points and you don't have to put on the yellow mummy eyes and then you could have it any weeknight!

Pumpkins!

The Carter Carving Extravaganza happened this evening. We carved in total four pumpkins tonight. Molly was busy practicing her sharp cutting skills (Don't freak out grandparents! This meant a butter knife on pieces of pumpkin guts, that even mommy had a hard time letting her do). We ended with two evil looking pumpkins and two goofy faced pumpkins. Since I bought my fake candles at Costco (30 votive/tea light candles) they are lit outside as we speak! They look great, but the star of tonight was the pumpkin seeds! I had enough seeds to fill my cookie sheet in one layer give or take.

Crunchy Garlic Pumpkin Seeds
4 cups of fresh pumpkin seeds, rinsed
2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
*cooking spray
1. Preheat oven 350 degrees, and spray the cookie sheet, toss all ingredients with freshly washed pumpkin seeds spread in an even layer on cookie sheet.
2. Cook in oven for 15 minutes then stir with a spatula to release moisture from all sides. Continue cooking for ten more minutes, stir again. Should cook for close to 30 minutes (depends on the size and moisture of your seeds, as they start to brown bring them out, you don't want them to burn but you want them sufficiently dried out so they are crunchy!)
