Hello everyone!
As I've mentioned in previous posts, my boys are all playing FOOTBALL.
When I came across this FOOTBALL snack, I couldn't resist sharing it.
Here's for the rough and tough BOYS Of Fall---Cheer them on!
Brought to you by:
This football sandwich and apple helmet were made using dark german wheat bread, turkey, provolone cheese, 1 apple, Twizzler strings, and strawberry cream cheese.
We cut 2 pieces of bread into football shapes. Cut the turkey and cheese to fit and put on the inside. Cut the stripes and laces out of the cheese scraps and add on top of the football. Tilt the apple just a bit and cut off a small piece from the bottom so the apple will stay on the plate. Cut out part of the apple to resemble a helmet. Take a toothpick and poke 3 holes down each side of the cut out part of the apple. Pull off a few Twizzler strips and pinch off 3 pieces to go across that helmet. Pinch off 2 smaller pieces to go down the front of face mask. Poke the longer pieces into the holes...they will pop right in. We glued our shorter pieces on with strawberry cream cheese, but you could use regular, peanut butter, or whatever! ENJOY!
This week is all about FUN WITH FOODS for FALL!
Celebrate Fall!
Ingredients1 cup canned pumpkin
1/3 cup butter, softened
1 package 2-layer-size spice cake mix
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
Optional: Chocolate Chips
1 recipe Marshmallow-Spice Filling (see recipe below)
Directions1. Preheat oven to 375 degree F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or foil (grease foil, if using). In a large mixing bowl beat pumpkin and butter with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Add cake mix, eggs, and milk; beat on low speed until combined, and then on medium speed for 1 minute.
2. By the heaping tablespoon, drop mounds of batter 3 inches apart on cookie sheet; keep remaining batter chilled. Bake 15 minutes or until set and lightly browned around edges. Carefully remove from parchment or foil; cool on wire rack. Repeat with remaining batter, lining cooled cookie sheets each time with new parchment or foil. If desired, place cookies in a covered storage container with waxed paper between layers to prevent sticking. Store cookies at room temperature for 24 hours. Prepare Marshmallow-Spice Filling up to 2 hours before serving. Spread about 2-1/2 tablespoons filling on flat side of one cookie; top with a second cookie. Repeat. Serve immediately or cover and chill up to 2 hours. Makes 15 whoopies.
Marshmallow-Spice Filling: Up to 2 hours before serving, beat together 1/2 cup softened butter and one 8-ounce package softened cream cheese until smooth. Add 2 cups sifted powdered sugar, 1/2 of a 7-ounce jar marshmallow cream, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and 1/2 teaspoon each ground cinnamon and nutmeg. Beat until well combined.
ENJOY!

Spooktacular Apron for your Spooktacular Treats!
From Window Valance to Apron!
A Seasonal Apron that can be used with all Seasons and Holidays!
Change the kitchen towel to match the season!
This is one of my favorite aprons to make!
It is SIMPLE and made from a WAVERLY WINDOW VALANCE!
Supplies:
One Waverly Valance on clearance $8.99 /reg.$ 39.99 (Tuesday Morning)
Waverly makes excellent window valances, the fabric is great quality and the valance is lined,
which will make a wonderful apron!
The fun part-- change your apron with the seasons!
One Seasonal Halloween Dish Towel
1. Cut your valance on both sides to the appropriate size.
This valance has a v-shape, measure accordingly so the "V" is in the middle of your apron.
2. Unpick the ends of the valance.
3. Make a 1/4 hem and sew.
4. Leave a opening for ties to go through the top of the valance where you
would normally put your curtain rod.
5. Add ribbon or any kind of trim to the top of the apron
by sewing the ribbon on both sides of the apron.
(You are placing your ribbon/trim as a hanger for your kitchen towel.)

6. Add your seasonal kitchen towel
7. You will be able to change your kitchen towel throughout the Seasons.
I like this apron because, you can easily throw your kitchen towel in the washer and
use your apron time after time!
8. Make fabric ties that will feed through the casing of your apron and tie in the back.
You are finished!
ENJOY!
Thank you for visiting!
I will see you all tomorrow!

Green apples are a easy accessory to decorate with.
The color makes them WONDERFUL!
Yellow Lemmon are great too!
Fall is so exciting!
