Tasty Tuesday: Spooky treats

Plus witch’s brew cupcakes, the downfalls of eating bacon and homemade donuts

Homegrown and Healthy has a fun strawberries and cream spooky Halloween heart treat this week. I love it! I am all about the creepy body parts in jars ideas at Halloween time, but I especially like the ones that are edible.

Guys, apparently eating bacon decreases your sperm count while eating fish improves it—so if you’re trying to have a baby, you might want to go easy on the bacon for a while.

Check out these sweet witch’s brew cupcakes! They are adorable. I was just going to make sugar cookies for my next Halloween event, but now I really want to make these.

I have never heard of Baba Ghanoush before, but boy does it sound good. It looks like some sort of hummus eggplant dip, and I love both hummus and eggplant! The recipe is from Mostly Food and Crafts, and there is some information about a secret recipe club there, too, that you may wish to check out.

Our Eating Habits—a site that was linked from Mostly Food and Crafts—has a recipe for baked long johns. Baked long johns! I am excited here because I hate to fry food—I avoid it like the plague—but Wood Sprite loves long johns. So does Indy. If I can pull these off, I will be Mommy of the year. Baking is the one cooking task that I honestly don’t mind—and am not bad at—so I really want to try this.

What are you cooking up this week?
