Bloody Bones
Things are progressing with our house. All the inspections are over and "passed". We are set to close on December 5th. My husband even found a lot that is worth considering out in Fort Collins. It would be so nice to find something before we moved out there. Then we could send our 6 year old to the school where our house would be, and we wouldn't have to move him around next summer. Way too much to think about when moving with kids. It was much easier when we moved to Iowa and he was only 18 months old!
This post may sound gross, but it isn't I promise! I hope you are enjoying my week of Halloween themed treats. They are so much fun to come up with, especially when you have a 6 year old little boy to share them with! This was one of his favorites. He pretended he was a vampire all through dinner. These are so easy too! I only used Parmesan Cheese and Garlic, but you could flavor these however you wanted. You could add Italian Seasoning or Basil too.
Bloody Bones
Adapted from Pillsbury
Printable Recipe
1 can Pillsbury Breadsticks
2 Tbls Butter, melted.
1 Tbls Parmesan Cheese
1 tsp Garlic Powder (plus any other seasons you would like)
Pizza Sauce
Preheat oven to 375. Open the can of breadstick dough, and separate into 12 sticks. In your hands roll it to about 12 inches long. Loosely tie each end in a knot, so they look like bones. Place on a lined baking sheet. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, or until lightly browned.
Meanwhile, mix together butter, cheese and garlic. Brush breadsticks with butter mixture once you take them out of the oven. Serve with sauce.
The "grosser" the better! I love this and my kids are going to love it when I show them this post. What a fun and easy Halloween themed treat. Congrats on you making Top 9 today with the witch's brew. Fantastic! :)

ReplyDeletePS...I can't remember buying much flank steak in Iowa either, but sometimes you find it going by the name London Broil. It has absolutely fabulous flavor...just don't overcook and cut thin slices across the grain :)

ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable Halloween side dish! So simple, but so creative. I love it.

These are so FUN!! My kids would love them :)
ReplyDeleteI imagine these being at one of those Halloween fairs for kids. You know the ones where you stick your hand through a box to feel the "eyes of dead people," which turn out to be peeled grapes?
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the move. I hope figuring out school districts long distance isn't too hard or do you already know which one you want him in?
These will make a great appetizer for our pizza night on Halloween!
ReplyDeleteThis is fabulous!!! haha If you and I had a Halloween party and you did your bones and I did my fingers...we'd be a total hit! haha
ReplyDeleteI can "bake" this with Pilsbully!! I'm going to try this weekend in fact! =) Great timing...thanks for sharing!
