Are you planning anything fun for dinner on Halloween night? Please share your ideas! Not only have I been making my kids Halloween Muffin Tin Meals for lunches and snacks, we've also had a few Halloween-themed dinners. This first Halloween dinner idea came from Kitchen Fun With My 3 Sons – stuffed pepper jack-o-lanterns! I cut jack-o-lantern faces from yellow bell peppers before stuffing and baking them. It was definitely a hit with the kids.
I stuffed the peppers with a mexican Stuffed Pepper recipe I've been using from Mommy Hates Cooking, but you can use your stand-by stuffed pepper recipe or try Kim's super-easy stuffed pepper recipe.
The other Halloween-themed dinner we made was Monster meatballs. Thanks to 2bearsmom for this idea. I made my usual meatball recipe, and stuck whole olives inside before baking them. Then I served them with spaghetti and sauce. The kids loved this meal, too, especially my little boy. He is kind of obsessed with olives.
