Incredibly easy Witch Hat Halloween Appetizer for a Halloween party or an after school snack for the kids.  Serve with spaghetti on a cool October night!

Witch Hat Halloween Appetizer

One of my first Halloween costumes was a witch. Anyone remember those 80’s costumes? Costumes made entirely out of plastic, often with a face cover that was in no way safe for trick or treating on a dark street.  My Pinterest self cringes thinking back on that costume.  I pretty sure my wig was lopsided the entire evening.

I’m not dressing up as a witch anymore, but I am perfecting a piece of the costume in my kitchen. Make these INCREDIBLY EASY witch hat Halloween appetizers.  Make these for as a Halloween Food Craft for a party or as an after school snack for the kids.

This Cinnamon Apple French Toast Recipe will become a Saturday morning family favorite. Save excess and freeze or and serve over ice cream for a breakfast turned dessert recipe.

Cinnamon Apple French Toast Recipe

Cinnamon Apple French Toast Recipe

Saturday morning. Saturday morning is often very special for our family. It’s the traditional big breakfast Sunday where we make a ton to eat, often a sweet treat like French Toast, Crepes Pancakes or Cinnamon Rolls. While the purpose of this is family bonding, it has become a family tradition. Additionally, it is a bonus to my husband and I because we can be a little bit neglectful about lunch in the hustle and bustle of a Saturday.

A fall recipe that is quite tasty and adorably cute is our Cinnamon Apple French Toast Recipe. You can shape your french toast into adorable apple shapes or leave the shape as a slice of bread – we bet a child will have fun prepping the toast if you go with a cute cookie cutter shape. The recipe is tasty and leftovers can be used on top of ice cream as a Saturday evening dessert. The recipe is a breakfast win and a dinner win!.. and like I said above, it is a lunch win. We are often not home Saturday mid-day and don’t have to spend as much on lunch because of full bellies!

There are only a few simple ingredients in our fall french toast recipe.  This recipe yields 4 servings. Multiple as needed.

How to Make Cinnamon Apples

It is incredibly easy to make cinnamon apples. Serve with your french toast. Refrigerate and serve over ice cream for dessert later!

Cinnamon Apples Ingredients:

  • 4 C chopped apples (I prefer granny smith but any will do)

Cinnamon Apples  Directions:

  3. Second, chop into bite-sized pieces.
  4. Next, in a pan with high sides, add sugar, butter and cinnamon.
  5. Cook over low-medium heat for about 2 minutes, stirring frequently until melted.

Cinnamon Apple Fall French Toast Recipe

How to Make Fall French Toast

Have little hands help you shape your toast before cooking it. Save scraps of bread for more french toast! Cut them into strips. They will not be straight (my kids didn’t mind). Cook them as you did the apple shaped ones and freeze for another day! You can always use your toast whole.

Serving Size: 2 pieces
Servings: 4

Cinnamon Apple French Toast Ingredients:

  • 8 slices whole wheat bread
  • 3 eggs
  • ¼ C milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Apple shaped cookie cutter (we used one like this one)

Apple Shaped French Toast Directions:

  1. Cut out apple shapes by pressing the cookie cutter into the center of the bread and gently push the bread out from the cookie cutter, making sure not to break the stem or leaf.
  2. Add eggs, milk, and vanilla to a bowl and whisk until combined.
  3. Melt butter over medium heat in a large pan.
  4. Dip apple shapes into the egg mixture, coating both sides, and allow excess to drip off.
  5. Place onto pan and cook for about 2-4 minutes, checking frequently, until golden brown.
  6. Flip over and do the same.

Trailer Park Murder Mystery Party

Who dunnit? It’s a Trailer Park Murder Mystery Party. Themed Trailer Park Tragedy party decor, costumes, tablescapes and recipes to pull of your ultimate Redneck bash.

Trailer Park Murder Mystery Party

 Trailer Park Murder Mystery Party

Red Solo cup, I fill you up! Let’s have a party… Redneck Style!

One of my dearest friends had a party I was incredibly jealous not to attend. With her living thousands of miles (and a continent) away, I forgave her for the lack of an invite, but i told her to take many pictures so I could live vicariously through her photos. Not only did I get to scroll through endless digital photos, I gathered them together to share with you all so you too could enjoy the celebration – a Trailer Park Murder Mystery Party!

What is a Murder Mystery Party?

A murder mystery party is a themed game played with a large group of people. Party-goers are assigned roles, with one individual secretly playing a fictitious murderer, and the other attendees each providing a character to fit the theme. The attendees work together to solve who among them is the criminal while not getting murdered themselves!


Trailer Park Tragedy

For her guidance, she referred to Night of Mystery Trailer Park Tragedy. There she got printables, invites, and a list of character, descriptions and directions for completing her perfect murder mystery party.

I didn’t want to leave you all hanging. I know we are both feeling left out of this party of a life time, so to warm both of our redneck hearts, I gathered together some of the most creative White Trash Bash party ideas from around the web. Use these DIY decorations, tablescapes and recipes, and free printables (made by yours truly!)

Recipe for Disaster

This trailer park tragedy is a recipe for disaster. Let us all lift our Red Solo cup and offer a toast to finding the murderer! Cheers y’all!

Party Tip: If you are the host/hostess, do not become the main character or narrator. It is hard keeping track of food, drinks, talking with guests, and staying in character!  It’s best to sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labor (prep) and enjoy the dinner show!

Home is where you park it! Welcome to the trailer park! Get ready for adorable party decor and trailer park party ideas.

Tuna fish cans, bean cans, and newspaper – they all make pretty centerpieces. Just add a tea light!

Hang a clothesline. We hand dyed these old clothes to make the perfect Trailer Park Clothesline. There were a few ways we made different items of clothing. First, we bleached old red and black boxer briefs. They held a little bit of the color but looked filthy and old once bleached. Second, we also took red clay (dirt) and rubbed them into white t-shirts, socks and fabric with rocks. Begin by wetting your fabrics. Then add the dirt. The rocks will help break down the fabric, cause some tears and really grind the dirt in the clothing. Lastly, we dyed some of the fabrics with Kool-Aid. It looks like something red was placed in a white wash. It also gave some of the fabrics a nice pink look! WE thought pink male underwear was perfect for our trailer park.

Speaking of coolers. Try to refrain from having garbage cans on the premise. Adding used plates and cans only adds more decoration to your lawn.

Brown kraft paper using for crafts or parcel helped make our outhouse door. Remember to keep that S in reverse! Amazon has a lot of funny toilet paper! (You can purchase an outhouse door cover here if you don’t want to make one.)

Every party has a pooper and this flower needed a pot. Problem solved using a toddler potty seat. (Normally these can be borrow from someone’s back yard – just look around the trailer park and leave a note!)

To make this beer box garland backdrop, we had hooks in our beam every foot. The beam is about 11 feet across. The beam to the bottom of the last box was about 6 feet, this allowed us to fit 4 boxes on the vertical rope. We weaved first box through the rope and tied near the top with a knot. We fed the rope through the second robe and added another knot. We continued this process with two more boxes for at total of four boxes per vertical rope. We took all our ropes and tied them to the horizontal rope about a foot apart. The hooks were helpful in giving us the exact amount of distance.

Pink flamingos printed from the Night of Mystery Trailer Park Tragedy.

Every queen needs a handbag! Get 1.88 inch painters tape and write Gucci, Chanel, LV or whatever your designer brand. It could be kind of funny to do a very cheap brand anyways, like Old Navy or something already budget friendly.

When hosting a party, add a beautiful floral centerpiece. We find Vlasic pickles make a beautiful vase for flowers. Plus save money on the flower water because they already come with a pretty green water inside. Look for flowers in your neighbors yard instead of going to the store – those cost to much anyways.

Every Murder Mystery Party, needs a few accessories. Pick up these props and must have accessories for your Trailer Park Tragedy!

  • Printable Murder Mystery Props
  • Mugshot Backdrop
  • Inflatable Tire
  • Plastic Flamingo Yard Stakes
  • Billy Bob Fake Teeth or Ice Teeth Molds
  • Trailer Park Supervisor T-Shirt
  • If You Mess with Me… Bumper Sticker
  • Trailer Park Trophy Wife Wig (Similar Style)
  • Red Solo Cup Wine Glasses (or you could make your own!)
  • Belly Fanny Pack
  • The Bobcat Mullet
  • Bloody Vinyl Handprint Clings

Every Black Friday Barnes & Noble returns with a coupon code. This is a great time to shop for Elf on the Shelf!

Elf on the Shelf Barnes and Noble Coupon

Head over to Barnes & Noble for 30% off with coupon code 30BFRIDAY (this discount can not be used on Nook Products.) Code ends 11/29/15.

I added The Elf on The Shelf to my cart for $29.95. Using the code the item was reduced to $20.96. For comparison, this is Elf on the Shelf Ideas!

Elf on the Shelf Doll Savings

Because this Black Friday Coupon Code only comes during select times, it’s important to get creative when finding an Elf on the Shelf Doll Savings.

When buying, first, realize if you are buying and elf that is any color other than red, it is a knock-off. Second, make sure your Elf on the Shelf comes with a book and box. Other elves are not the Original Scout Elf.

If you can’t wait on a Barnes and Noble Coupon, shop Amazon. Grab a Free Trial of Amazon Prime and get Free 2-day Shipping. This ensures your Elf arrives on time. Having it on time is almost worth not waiting for that $10 savings. Amazon Prime shipping will be the best gift you give yourself this Christmas season. It’s like your very own North Pole Gift from Santa.

You can check on your Facebook Marketplace for Elf on the Shelf dolls that are being sold. Also check discount places like Thrift Stores and Goodwill.


When your very own Scout Elf Arrives, follow the I’m Back Ideas for Elf. Perhaps he comes and goes with an Elf Door. Also, be sure to take a look at all the Good-Bye Elf on the Shelf ideas for Elf’s Last Night.


Overview

The Elf on the Shelf: A Christmas Tradition™ is an activity the entire family will enjoy. Based on the tradition Carol Aebersold began with her family in the 1970s, this cleverly rhymed children’s book explains that Santa knows who is naughty and/or nice because he sends a scout elf to every home. During the holiday season, the elf watches children by day and reports to Santa each night. When children awake, the elf has returned from the North Pole and can be found hiding in a different location. This activity allows The Elf on the Shelf to become a delightful hide-and-seek game.

Each Tradition-in-a-Box™ comes with its very own scout elf, a hardbound children’s book and a keepsake box for easy storage. In addition, each shipment is marked for “Special Delivery” from Santa’s workshop.

Note: Before the code, shipping was free. After the code Shipping increased to $3.99. You can try to ship to the store for FREE.

Head to Barnes & Noble to grab yours! Don’t forget our daily Elf on the Shelf Ideas.

That doesn’t mean you can’t have fun Elf antics with an imposter or impersonator!

The Original Elf on the Shelf company sells a Elf on the Shelf Boy and Girl Doll Plushee Set. This is great for younger kids. Sometimes these stuffed-animal like elves sit easier on shelves too!

There are similar traditional Elf dolls on Amazon, like this Red and White Stripe Elf and this soft Plushee Elf on the shelf boy and girl Elf – isn’t he a cute Santa’s helper?! This year we even got a Baby Elf to go with our Elf on the Shelf.

Follow the star, just like DaySpring has done with their similar Christian holiday tradition. Their Christmas Tradition is The Shepherd On the Search. This set comes with a shepherd boy doll and book.


What is Elf on the Shelf?

Elf on the Shelf is a Christmas Tradition. The tradition has a book and a elf doll. The book is poetic and in rhyme sharing the purpose of the Elf’s visits. The Elf visits each Thanksgiving. He/She goes and returns from the North Pole each evening. Every morning he can be found in a new location in the house. The Elf has been found in the refrigerator, fishing in the toilet, writing messages on the mirror or hanging from the lights. It is VERY IMPORTANT, the Elf is not touch each evening or his Christmas magic will be lost! Each family is able to name their special elf. The elves return to their home (Santa’s North Pole Work shop) every Christmas Eve. An Elf’s Story can also be found on DVD.

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!
