Frugal Coupon Living’s Orange Jack-O-Lantern Fruit Bowls Recipe – Orange Pumpkin Cups made with Fruit. A healthy fall treat idea. Serve these Jack o Lantern Oranges at your next Halloween Party! 

Orange Jack-O-Lantern Fruit Cups

Orange Jack-O-Lantern

When it comes to holiday parties, the sugar that often loads the table is a lot. We have some amazing Halloween Food Craft Ideas, but in our most recent recipe, I wanted to provide a healthy snack option.

Have fun with this one and take a twist on the orange. Crave out a Jack O’ Lantern using an orange, hallow out and fill with fruit. It is the perfect healthy treat to a Halloween Class Party or even an afternoon snack.

Jack-O-Lantern Oranges

Just a few simple ingredients make these Jack-O-Lantern Oranges. Fruit and mixed fruit. I really love berries, but it is your choice. If you scoop out the oranges well, you can even use that to toss in your fruit salad!

You will need a sharp knife to help you cut out your face. We loved this highly rated kitchen carving knife (I have this in my home), we also used Kitchen Sheers to cut out some of the shape. If you worry about using a knife or scissors around kids, crate your adorable Jack-O-Lantern Fruit Cup using a Sharpie Maker! We did this with our Orange Jack-O-Lantern Floats.

Jack-O-Lantern Fruit Cups Ingredients

  • 3 Medium Navel Oranges
  • 1 cup Mixed Fruit – Your choice, I prefer berries

Yield: 3 Jack-o-Lanterns. Multiple as needed.


Orange Jack-O-Lantern

How to Make Orange Pumpkin Fruit Cups

This recipe is not too challenging. While the recipe is great for kids, an adult needs to be present for the slicing!

Slice off the tops of the oranges.

Using a spoon, scoop out the pulp and insides of the oranges. You can place those aside for your fruit salad or toss them. They could make some fresh orange juice!

Using a knife, careful cut out faces on each orange to resemble a Jack O Lantern orange.

Fill each orange with mixed fruit and serve.

Orange Pumpkin Fruit Cups Tip: Don’t want to carve with a knife? That is okay. Use a sharpie and draw the face on the front – that works too and is safe for little hands!

Save this recipe for later. Print your recipe and add it to your recipe box or recipe binder! This is my favorite Recipe Binder – I get tired of printing the same recipe over and over. A binder keeps me organized and gives me a place to store my recipes.

Disclosure: This post is sponsored by Tyson Foods, Inc. All comments and opinions are my own.

Anyone feeling the effects of the first bell? Today, my kids officially went back to school. What that really means is I can finally sit down with you and share more about how to make your back to school season easier.

Did you know that Sam’s Club sells a great variety of Tyson products, perfect for easy and convenient back to school meals and snacks, including State Fair® Corn Dogs and Jimmy Dean® Frozen Breakfast items? With five kids in the house, two who can fend for themselves (or whip something up for their brothers), this is incredibly convenient.  I wish to rewrite that sentence. With five kids in the house and a husband who is always hungry, this is incredibly convenient for a mom who cannot always get breakfast, lunch, snacks and dinner in the oven quickly.  These snacks are so easy even your kids and husband can make them in a quick minute!

My kids were incredibly excited to try Jimmy Dean Pancakes and Sausage on a Stick (20 ct.) Breakfast is always a struggle for us and my desire to get protein in the children before school sometimes falls flat to a bowl of cereal and milk. This pancake and sausage combination feels more like a Sunday morning breakfast and I feel confident feeding their potential with protein before school. Pop in the microwave and voila, breakfast is served. Add some syrup for yummy goodness!

We found these pancakes and sausage on a stick in our local Sam’s Club freezer section. Jimmy Dean also makes them in blueberry! Want a savings? If you get them in blueberry, they will be $2.00 off at Sam’s Club from 8/21 to 9/15 with Sam’s Club Instant Savings.

Another after school option (because we always delay family dinner until my husband gets home) are the State Fair Corn Dogs (34 ct.) This holds the kids over until 6 pm where we all sit down together.

Right now, join Sam’s Club to get a $20 gift card when you sign up for a $45 Sam’s Club annual membership.  Benefits of Sam’s club include Club Pickup, Scan & Go and Instant Savings. With Scan and Go, pay from your phone and skip the checkout line for a faster shopping experience. Score! With Instant Savings, get extra offers on tons of already low prices. Yes! Additionally, look for more information in your Valpak envelopes for details on special offers available for Sam’s Club members.

Want something else convenient? You can order these items online now for Club Pickup later. This is awesome for me because it keeps me from unbuckling three car seats to pick up our groceries – Thank you Sam’s Club!

Which product is going in your cart with your next Sam’s Club purchase. The Pancakes and Sausage, Corn Dogs or both! Let us know what you think.

Gluten-free Thanksgiving Recipes

Gluten-free Thanksgiving Recipes

Almost 40 and I still have yet to make a Thanksgiving turkey. I can master almost any Thanksgiving side, but a large bird in my oven is so intimidating.  Thanksgiving is either a major holiday for us with close to 100 people gathered or it is very small. I have a family of seven and one year it was only four of us (granted the twins were in my belly and not on the outside)! Does this holiday sway back and forth for any other family? I think because of this, the turkey has always been covered. If we have a large gathering, the more seasoned chefs cook. If we have a very small gathering, we go out to eat.

That being said, sometimes our small gatherings lead to Friendsgiving Thanksgiving. In this situation, where there are many dietary needs, I try to accommodate everyone with my Thanksgiving recipes. This includes, being Keto-friendly and/or Gluten-free. This got me researching gluten-free Thanksgiving recipes that are tasty for all dietary restrictions!

Jalapeño Popper Mummies – These savory stuffed jalapeño popper mummies are the perfect Halloween party appetizer for your spooky get-together! Make these adorable jalapeño poppers for the best hauntingly delicious treats to please every guest at your October party, or simply make them for your family to get in the Halloween spirits. Enjoy!

Halloween Jalapeño Popper Mummies

Halloween Jalapeño Popper Mummies

We get so excited over the start of school and Halloween on the horizon! I get just as excited as the kids do over Halloween. From the costumes, to candy, to festive decorations, October signifies tons of fun to come! Our Halloween Mummy Hot Dogs were a huge hit on the blog, and these Halloween Jalapeño Mummies are sure to be a crowd pleaser as well.

HALLOWEEN JALAPEÑO POPPER RECIPE

For this Halloween Recipe, you will need edible eyes among other ingredients. We used two eyes of the same shape, but we also think it would be cute to add additional candy eyes of various sizes! Isn’t a mummy supposed to look a little wonky?

The best part of this recipe for Halloween is that the kids can get involved, but when you’ve all chowed down to your heart’s content, they haven’t eaten a sugary snack that will hype them up. Instead, everyone gets a savory bite for Halloween night! (You are supposed to say that aloud while you’re reading. We rhymed just like Dr Seuss!)

Need more tasty recipes for your Halloween party? Try this Poison Apple Dip and adorable food craft for your Halloween Tablescape. For a healthy bite on the holiday, make these Fruit Cup Jack-o-Lanterns. If you don’t want to carve the face, just use a sharpie marker!

Of course, you’ll need a sweet and spooky treat to go along with the savory menu items. You can find the perfect dessert in our 31+ Days of Kid’s Halloween Food Crafts! Which is your favorite?

Halloween Jalapeño Popper Directions and Ingredients

Don’t get spooked. The ingredients that go into these Stuffed Jalapeño Popper Mummies can easily be found at your local grocery store!

STUFFED JALAPEÑO POPPER MUMMIES INGREDIENTS

Between the Jalapeño Peppers and the Pepper Jack Cheese, this recipe can have a kick! To cool things down for the kids and those sensitive to spice, be sure to remove the seeds and membranes from your jalapeños before cooking!

You’ll need these ingredients to make these Jalapeño Popper Mummies…

  • 10 Jalapeño Peppers
  • 8 oz Softened Cream Cheese
  • 8 oz Pepper Jack Cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon minched garlic
  • Pinch Salt
  • Pinch Pepper
  • 1 Scallion
  • Candy Eyeballs
  • Pillsbury Crescent Rolls

Hosting an October gathering? This Halloween Poison Apple Dip makes the perfect party recipe. Only four simple ingredients including cream cheese and caramel. Plus learn how to make our Poison Apple Halloween Food Craft to display on your table.

Halloween Poison Apple Dip

We have an incredibly cute and easy Halloween Food Craft and plus a bonus Halloween Craft for your October Halloween tablescape. Pair this sweet recipe with our salty and tasty Halloween Jalapeño Popper Mummies.

Halloween Poison Apple History

The first rotten apple we know of comes from the Bible. It was never rotten but rather an attractive piece of fruit. When Adam and Eve ate the apple from the Tree of Knowledge, they were instantly aware of good and evil. Immediately the apple built a bad reputation and it becomes a fruit often selected for the symbolism of evil.

We are introduced to the Poisoned Apple in the fairy tale, Snow White. When the Evil Queen gives Snow White a poison apple to kill her, it immediately causes her fall into an eternal sleep.  In the Disney version, Snow White is saved by “true loves kiss” when a prince kisses her causing her to wake.

To carry on the tradition of this the poison apple, we put together a fun Halloween Food Craft; an incredibly easy poison apple craft and poison apple dip.

Cream Cheese & Caramel Apple Dip Ingredients

Cream Cheese & Caramel Apple Dip Ingredients

Luckily, the ingredients in this recipe contain no poison. The thought sure is fun, though, for the Holiday season. Rather this recipe is quite sweet and so good with sliced apples or graham crackers.

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup apple butter
  • 13.5 oz caramel sauce
  • sliced red and green apples
  • optional: graham crackers

Halloween Poison Apple Craft

Poison Apple Halloween Craft Supplies

  • Green apples
  • Red apples
  • Colored staples

Poison Apple Halloween Craft Directions

Guys, I don’t have much for you. This poison apple craft is incredibly easy. You could look at the picture and instantly create the craft.

First, get two apples of similar shape and sizes. Cut each apple in half and fit them together.

Second, grab colored tables. We used blue staples but you could also use other colored staples, traditional silver staples or gold staples.  Separate individual staples.

With your apple lined up, you will press individual staples until your green and red apple holding them two halves together and forming one apple. Continue this process up the seam of the apple.

Once your apple holds nicely together, you are done.

Warning: Do not use this craft for consumption or eating. Display it on your tablescape or high up for Halloween decor but keep it away from small hands and little kids.

Halloween Dollar Tree Wreath

Learn how to make a Halloween Dollar Tree Wreath for under $10. Black and Purple Mesh Ribbon, Halloween Ornaments and a wreath form for this budget-friendly outdoor Halloween craft.

Halloween Dollar Tree Wreath

You want to know something funny? I recall going to Jo-Ann Fabrics after one Halloween and they practically gave me the wreath on display.  I had to pay for it, but I recall it feeling like a steal. The wreath was only a wreath form with orange mesh ribbon and I treat the wreath like a precious baby since I have it. Unfortunately, I must not treat my babies well because the mesh ribbon is looking awful and I have wanted to replace it for the longest time.

Realizing I could replace my beloved Halloween wreath for under $10 makes me wonder why I did not do this ages ago! I am so grateful how Dollar Tree Crafts have become the coolest thing to do. I think The Dollar Store realizing how much we appreciate their materials, too, because they are really stepping up their decor!

Don’t forget our other Halloween Dollar Tree Craft- How to Make a Sugar Skull.

Halloween Dollar Tree Wreath Supplies:

All Halloween Wreath supplies are found at The Dollar Tree except for our Hot Glue Gun.

  • Metal Wreath Form (Greenery/Gardening Aisle)
  • Black and Purple Mesh Ribbon (Seasonal Area)
  • Pipe Cleaners (Craft Aisle)
  • Halloween Decor Items of your choosing (Seasonal Area)
  • Hot Glue Gun

Halloween Wreath Tips:

We picked up a Dollar Tree wreath form. You can use this wreath over and over each year or take it apart at the end of Halloween and use for other seasons.

Personalize this wreath to your style and taste. Your your own Dollar Tree Halloween Decor. The purpose is not for me to show you how to perfectly make mine but for me to show you how to make your own. Style it to your liking.

I love that you can pick up Dollar Store Craft Pipe Cleaners for a $1. Such a frugal craft and the rest can be used for the kids craft area.


Dollar Tree Halloween Wreath Directions:

First, start by cutting your pipe cleaners into small sections, these will be used as ties to secure your ribbon to the wreath form. I personally cut my pipe cleaners into 3 pieces each.

Next, tie pipe cleaners sections all around the perimeter of your wreath, you will want to do this on the outer ring and also the second from the middle as well – I like to do them about 3-4 inches apart.

Now you’ll take one of your ribbon colors, you can choose which you’d like to do on each section. I started with purple on the outer ring. You’ll want to secure the end of your ribbon using one of the pipe cleaners ties you’ve already had tied on the wreath.

Once you’ve secured your end of the ribbon roll, you’ll want to create bunches to give that full bubbly appearance and you’ll want to secure a section every 3-4 inches where you have placed the pipe cleaners ties.

Repeat these steps all the way around the outer ring as well as the inner ring until you have a full wreath without decor.

Now comes the fun part, decorating! You can choose to get the round ornaments and pumpkins like I did to fill in the very inner ring, or you can find whatever Halloween decorations fit your aesthetic best, the dollar tree has TONS to choose from! You’ll just want to use a hot glue gun to secure these items to your wreath and Voila!

You’re finished. I love how simple and easy, yet adorable this wreath is! Not to mention I was able to purchase all the supplies for around $10, that’s a steal if you compare the cost of wreaths online!

Enjoy.

Save these themed Bingo game printables for the entire school year. Seasonal scavenger hunts including back to school, fall, winter, spring and even summer. 

Themed Bingo Game Printables

Themed Bingo Game Printables for School

B-I-N-G-O (it’s hard to talk about Bingo and not sing the song!)

Looking for seasonal Bingo printables? We found the best selection of Bingo games for back to school, fall, winter, spring, and summer. You can use these printable games inside the classroom, for events like a class party, or save for outside the classroom for birthday parties, family events, and more.

What is Bingo?

Bingo is an international game in which players mark off numbers (or pictures) on cards. As the numbers (or pictures) are drawn randomly by a caller, the player marks off the called number (picture). The winner is the first person to mark off five numbers in a row or another required pattern (horizontal, four corners, a diagonal pattern, or even the entire board.)

What are the Bingo Rules?

The rules of Bingo are simple. The rules can change slightly each game, as the caller determines the pattern for winning.

  1. Each player gets one card. Cards should be different for each player.
  2. In addition to a player, there is a caller.
  3. The caller determines the winning pattern for each game. Five in a row (column, diagonal line, four corners, or a full board.)

Bingo Game Prize Ideas

Stick with the theme. These are seasonal games, so consider seasonal prizes. If you are playing Bingo in a classroom, ask your parents to donate non-food prizes. Since you are playing many rounds of Bingo, keep prizes simplistic as larger prizes would be too much.

Bingo prize ideas include:

  • Decorative Pencils
  • Colored Pens
  • Seasonal slime
  • Carnival prize toys
  • Puzzles

Add a touch of greenery to your home with these ready-to-print free fern botanical prints. 

Fern Botanical Printables

You know the Abba song Fernando? I know it, perhaps better than most. My father, Fernando, was born and raised in Cuba. He came to here as a young teen without his parents. A Peter Pan child with the new name American nick name of Fern (for short.) I think about my father’s journey often but I can never go too deep in my mind. It must have been incredibly scary leaving your home country, unable to speak a foreign language, and leaving home without your parents. If I put myself there, emotionally, I cannot handle it. I pull back in my head… anyone else a first generation American with a heroing account of their parents leaving their home country?

Now on to fern prints. I realize I got off topic. Ferns remind me of non other, my dad. These resilient plants are lush, beautiful and stand out. They grow best in tropical, moist climates or they can grow beautifully in your home with this freebie!  These fern prints are for your own use. I had a few spots in my home that needed some green and these prints were an excellent touch. Print them for your wall frame or print hem and use them on a bookshelf frame as an added pop of green.

Not many supplies are needed for this project.

Fern Botanical Printables Supplies:

  • Cardstock
  • Set of 3 fern botanical printables (see below)

You also will want some adorable frames. These are 8.5 x 11 vertical prints but can be trimmed to 8 x 10. I would recommend getting a nice farmhouse wooden frame or hanging them on letter size clipboards for a different look.
