Scary Halloween Leftovers
I hope you were strong. I hope you didn't let the diabolical marketers who put the Halloween candy out in July or August entice you into buying it, seeing it around the house, and then eating it so you were forced to buy it again. Personally, I think there should be a law that stores cannot put Halloween candy displays out before September 15th (or later). Write your representative.
But the day is here, and in theory, adorable tots should be showing up at your door to remove all the calorie-laden goodness and take it home to ruin their dinners for many nights to come. But if you're like me, and you live on a major street in a safe, kid-friendly neighborhood, you've laid in enough candy to decorate every witch's house from here to Düsseldorf, and that means you're going to have leftovers. So unless you want to fit into that Santa suit without padding by Christmas, it's time to get creative.
The simplest solution is to avoid leftovers in the first place by becoming increasingly generous as the evening wears on. If you're giving out one or two pieces of candy early in the evening, and you can see that you're going to have more candy than you need, start passing out double portions. The older kids tend to be the ones out well after dark, so it actually makes sense to hand out more candy per trick-or-treater at 8:00 than you did at 6:45. If you play your cards right, you can empty your candy bucket and turn your lights out when the traffic dies (around here, that's between 9:00 and 9:20).
If November 1st still dawns with pounds of sugary bliss left in your living room, start looking for places to give it away. A lot of schools and churches have leftover candy drives. Take it your next meeting. Take it to the police or fire station. Do not take it to work, as it will sit in a bowl on your desk and you'll still eat most of it. Look for places to take it so that other people will eat it.
If you really want to get creative, and you can do some advance planning, start looking at the candy in a new way. If you do Christmas baking like I do, you will soon be buying the ingredients for that baking, and if you think about it, you're going to be buying a lot of the same stuff you just gave away. Next year, before you buy your Halloween candy, take a look at the recipes for your Christmas baking. M&Ms can go into cookies and Rice Krispies treats. Hershey Kiss cookies? Hershey's Special Dark bars and nuggets can be chopped into chocolate chips or melted down for icings, fillings, and more. Jolly Rancher candies and Life Savers make gorgeous "stained glass" cookies. Do a search for "leftover candy recipes" and you'll probably find some way to use up whatever you're stuck with, and you might find a new recipe you really like.
If you don't bake, you might have a neighbor who does, and you can work a trade of ingredients for finished baked goods. If you like toppings on your ice cream, you can crush most chocolate candy bars into sundae toppings. Crush them up and place them in well-marked bags in your freezer; that way, they'll be out of sight (and hopefully out of mind) and you'll use them by the spoonful instead of by the bar. If you are really virtuous, you'll simply buy candy you don't like yourself, so you'll never be tempted by the leftovers. Write and tell me what that kind of virtue feels like, because I sure don't have it.
The bottom line is, get them gone. Get them out of the house entirely, or earmark them for another purpose and get them into the freezer. Otherwise, you'll hear them calling you in their little chocolate voices every time you pass by the bowl. And you don't want to pack on extra pounds now, because turkey, stuffing and pie are waiting right around the corner. Boo!

This Valentines Day say "I Love You" with Cookies
What better way to tell your sweetie "I Love You" than with some fresh baked cookies? Give some of these sweet treats a try this Valentine's Day. Cupid himself would be impressed by these yummy creations. They are sure to be a hit with your Sweetheart, Children, Neighbors or anyone else special to you as well. Don't forget to get the kids involved! I still have memories of making Valentine's Day Cookies as a child.
Heart Shaped Cookies
Make you favorite roll-out sugar cookie recipe. Use a heart shaped cookie cutter to cut them. Bake, frost and decorate to your heart's content. You can sprinkle them with red or pink crystallized sugar before you bake them, or frost and sprinkle with some tiny candied hearts or pink sprinkles after they are baked. Use icing in a tube to write a message or draw a picture on the cookie.
Cookie Lollipop
Heart Shaped cookie lollipops are always a big hit. Start with basic sugar cookie dough. Roll it out to about 1/8th inch thickness (place the dough between two sheets of wax paper to keep the dough from sticking). Use a heart shaped cookie cutter and cut an equal amount of hearts. Place half a bamboo skewer, a lollipop stick (found at craft stores) or a Popsicle stick on the bottom half of the hearts. Place the remaining hearts on top and press them firmly together. Bake according to your recipe instructions and decorate as desired.
Tip - soak the skewers or Popsicle sticks in water before placing them on the cookies to keep them from getting burnt.
Valentine's Rice Krispies Treats
Make Rice Krispies Treats and while the mixture is still warm use a large heart shaped cookie cutter to cut them out. If you can't find a cookie cutter of the right size, draw a heart on cardboard and use it as a template. Just lay it on the sheet of Rice Krispies Treats and trace around it with a knife. For even more Valentine fun add a few drops of red food coloring to the marshmallow mixture for a pink version of the sticky treat.
Cookie Dough Jar
Place the dry ingredients of your favorite cookie recipe in a pretty jar. Write the recipe for the cookie on a heart shaped piece of paper or a valentine's note card. Tie it with a pretty bow around the jar. Make the glass jar even more special by drawing little red hearts on it with a permanent marker. These are so cute and easy!
Bouquet of Cookies
Bake up some of your favorite cookies. Get a pretty basket and line it with a red or pink cloth napkin. Arrange the homemade cookies in the basket. If you'd like, you can also add some heart shaped cookie cutters, Valentine's Day themed sprinkles, or some hot chocolate mix. Another option would be to use a piece of floral foam and arrange some decorated Cookie Lollipops within the basket and fill the bottom with Hershey's Kisses or other Valentine Candy.
All of these cookie ideas for Valentine's Day make wonderful gifts for a special someone that has a personal touch. They are
sure to be appreciated, after all, who doesn't like cookies?

Great Snack Ideas For the Classroom
Pre-schoolers and elementary students alike need a little pick-me-up now and then. Whether you need to send in treats on a regular schedule, or you have volunteered to help out with a special event, a special snack from this list is sure to please. Depending on how festive you want the occasion to be, you can package snacks in plain zip top bags, decorate your own bags, or purchase special treat bags that are designed to suit the occasion and then tie them up with pieces of ribbon when you have them filled.
Make sure you check with your school or teacher to see if there are any foods they don't allow at snack time. There are many restrictions in schools that don't allow you to serve certain types of foods to children, which can make it difficult to plan for snacks that are fun for kids. Many schools don't allow you to serve any peanuts or peanut butter due to allergy severity, and you may not have the option of giving kids foods that contain added sugar. If you are restricted to those foods that are deemed "safe and healthy", then you will need to add even more imagination to the presentation of the food to make it appealing to small children.
Great snack ideas:
Rice Krispie Treats are a favorite of children and adults alike. If you want to give them something besides the typical Rice Krispie square, mix up a big batch of the treats and add colored Krispies or food coloring. You do not need to be restricted to rice cereal-try a variety of different cereals for a different look, or go whole grain for a healthy, energy packed choice. Use cookie cutters in fun shapes or for the holiday to cut out the treats and you can add a popsicle stick to make eating them easier and neater!
Popcorn balls are a favorite treat, especially in the fall. Try mixing in a few M&M's and putting the ball on a stick. You can find many recipes online for caramel, cinnamon, and other flavored popcorn balls to give kids something a little less traditional. Popcorn may not be suitable for kids under the age of five, so be sure to check with your child's teacher if needed.
Veggies with Dip is a great snack for kids. One of the things that increases children's taste for vegetables is ranch dressing. If you can afford to get them the individual dipping cups with the dressing then have the carrot and celery sticks, broccoli, cauliflower, etc. already prepared, then it's just a matter of having the veggies divided and ready to eat. If this takes too much out of your budget, then get some little paper cups or holiday treat holders that won't easily spill and spoon out from the jar.
Fruit and Yogurt is another great snack time combo. Cut the fruit into small pieces for dipping, and serve with vanilla yogurt "dip. Home made trail mix is another great idea. You can easily make it in bulk, use the ingredients you want, and then package it in a variety of fun containers. This is a treat that is healthy, delicious, and approved by most schools! Ingredients can include any dry, bite sized morsels, like cereals, raisins, crackers, or seeds. Adding a small amount of a "fun" item like M&Ms can make your snack mix more appealing-just watch out for poachers!
You can also mix up a batch of "Chex" party mix. The recipe should be right on the box of cereal and is usually made in bulk. Kids will love helping to make their own snack right in the classroom and all you need are fun containers to scoop it into!
Whatever you choose as a snack for the classroom, keep in mind that packaging is a big part of the fun. Look for inexpensive and creative ways to serve great classroom snacks!

Keep Your Dog Healthy With These 3 Breakfast Treat Recipes
You can easily create healthy, helpful cuisine for you dog in your own kitchen. Here are 3 breakfast treat recipes for you to try.
Breakfast Treat One, Oinkers and Omelettes
Ingredients
3 eggs, 8 mini turkey sausages, 1 package refrigerated crescent rolls.

Bake according to crescent roll instructions and allow to cool thoroughly.
Store extras in the refrigerator until your pup is ready to eat them (but don't ask him, he'll always be ready to eat them).
The crescent rolls in these snacks package the eggs and sausage in a small, easy-to-handle treat. These are so neat and tidy you can zip them in a baggie and take them to the dog park for a protein burst.
