Easy Dirt and Worms Creepy Halloween Recipe

October 25, 2019 by Wendy

Dirt and Worms Creepy Halloween Recipe

Grab the kids to help you make this Dirt and Worms Creepy Halloween Recipe!

I’m really in to coming up with fun, and gross out factor foods for Halloween this year, I’ve been browsing around online and watching youtube videos with my little girl (who loves to cook).

Over the weekend we came across a really neat recipe for Dirt & Worms using Hot Dogs and Black Beans. Together, those didn’t really sound too appetizing, so I tweeked the directions a bit, and decided on something I knew would taste pretty good ..a Beany Weenies (beans and wieners) type of dish.

Let me tell you, it tastes really good, and the creepy foods factor is strong with this one!

Check out the recipe below, and give it a try. It’s really easy, and cost just a few dollars to make!

Easy 2-Ingredient Guacamole Recipe (13¢ vs $3!)

January 29, 2015 by Wendy

Easy 2-Ingredient Guacamole Recipe | Super Bowl Recipes (13¢ vs $3 at store!)

Guacamole Recipe is by far the easiest I’ve ever found. And it’s so good!

I never knew how to make guacamole until my ex-MIL showed me. She said you can make it as complex or as easy as you want. I choose easy, but only if it tastes great!

You may not believe that an easy guacamole recipe is possible. But keep reading. And prepare to be surprised!

This is the perfect Super Bowl Recipe for your Big Game party, or any day! It takes less than a minute to make and this Guacamole Recipe is MUCH cheaper than buying ready-made! How cheap?

Price Savings

Price breakdown: I’ve gotten avocados for $0.68 each, so this whole bowl of guacamole cost me less than $2 to make! Name-brand, ready-made guacamole costs around $3.00 for 7 oz at the store, compared to about 13 cents for 7 oz of my easy guacamole! Now that’s reason for a fiesta!

And don’t miss our how to tell if an avocado is ripe tips, and our how to peel an avocado instructional video below!

Gimmie’s Game Day Guacamole Recipe

Ingredients

  • 3 medium-size, ripe avocados
    (ripe avocados should yield slightly when pressed, they should not be rock hard and they should not be overly soft)
  • 1 cup picante sauce
  • salt & pepper to taste (optional)

Directions

  1. Peel & pit avocados & place in a bowl
    For how-to, be sure to see our How to Peel an Avocado video below!
  2. Add 1 cup picante sauce – choose the flavor you like and whether you want your guac hot, medium or mild
  3. Smash avocado mixture with a potato masher, leave it chunky if you like it that way, or mash it up to a smooth consistency – your choice
  4. Add salt and pepper to taste. Careful not to over salt if you’re serving with salty chips!

Serve with your favorite chips, and get ready for the cheering – and I’m not talking about when your team scores! 😉

EASY Stuffed Zucchini Boats (Seasoned Zuke Logs) Recipe

EASY Stuffed Zucchini Boats (Seasoned Zuke Logs) Recipe

EASY Stuffed Zucchini Boats (Seasoned Zuke Logs) Recipe

Here’s a GREAT low calorie EASY Stuffed Zucchini Boats (Seasoned Zuke Logs) appetizer for the game day! It’s SO tasty, and it’s good for you!

This is the perfect way to use up zucchinis from your garden during summertime, too. Especially when you’re looking for creative new ways to eat healthy.

Party Appetizers

When it comes to football, my home-state boys are always a force to be reckoned with! The Green Bay Packers are practically a whole state away from me (I live in Western Wisconsin, while GB is on the Eastern WI border), but that doesn’t stop fan loyalty.  Even though they’re not going to the Super Bowl this year, my heart still belongs to the green and gold. I have to say that or my big brother will sit on me!

But, admittedly, I don’t watch football very much during the season.  For me, same goes for basketball, baseball, hockey – you name it.  I’m a playoff fan.  Don’t worry, Mr. Gimmie watches enough for the whole family. All. Season. Long.

I would be remiss if I didn’t admit my true reason for watching the Big Game – Super Bowl Commercials!  Last year’s commercial, narrated by Paul Harvey, “So, God made a farmer” was probably my favorite of all time.  I’m from a small farming community. You could say it really hit home. And I love me some Clydesdales, Coca-cola bears and all those wacky and outlandish marketing ploys.  It’s really the Super Bowl of marketing and advertising too.

But, enough about that!  What better way to celebrate the Big Game than with FOOD?!  It’s the one sporting event every year that sets records on how much food we consume as a nation.  Gluttony runs amok.  We celebrate our fandom by feeding our faces.

EASY Stuffed Zucchini Boats

I made Seasoned Zuke Logs for the first time yesterday, and today they’re nothing but a fond memory. I ate almost all of them, stopping only to share a few with my mom!  They were crazy good! This is one low-cal snack that everyone will love. The no-meat version has only 20 calories per piece. So, you can pig out without feeling guilty.

Grown-up Pretty Food

Cooking pretty food is FUN!  I felt all grown up and fancy, making these gorgeous appetizers. Then, I preheated the oven and forgot to remove what was stored in it.  Of course, I never used to do that – store stuff in the oven. Apparently I shouldn’t do it now. There was a plastic pie pan container thingy which was really quite messy when it melted all over, leaving long strands of black plastic half-stuck to the oven and rack.  I giggled the whole time while cleaning it up, and went on about my day making these lovely appetizers.

Gear up

For this recipe, I used my new Good Cook Air Perfect Nonstick Baking Sheet which I am IN LOVE with!  I have a Good Cook air-filled cookie sheet that I bought 15+ years ago, and it’s still going strong. As a matter of fact, I love it so much that I just bought two more. The Good Cook Air Perfect baking sheet is unique in that there are two layers of metal with an air pocket in the middle that allows heat to distribute better than any regular cookie sheet.

I can’t bake cookies on a regular cookie sheet anymore. This Air Perfect sheet never, ever, NEVER burns them! It’s magic!  And of course, this baking sheet comes with the Good Cook Lifetime Satisfaction Guarantee.

This miraculous large cookie sheet is a baker’s delight. Its size is perfect for baking over a dozen cookies, toast garlic bread for your next family dinner or heating up your favorite pizza rolls. Features innovative air insulated design to distribute heat evenly for thorough baking without “hotspot” or burnt edges, flat edges allow baked goods to easily slide off onto the cooling rack and extra wide handles offer a comfortable grip for secure handling.

For the Big Game or any time you want a low-calorie, healthy & amazingly yummy treat, try making these seasoned zucchini appetizers. You will not believe how good they taste! This is one recipe you’ll want to SAVE and make often!
