Halloween Hocus Pocus Dinner

-
Happy Halloween! I hope everybody stays safe with whatever you plan to do! I just wanted to pop on really quick to give you some last minute Halloween dinner ideas. Most of these were pretty easy and store-bought things you can throw together last minute! 
First we whipped up some boxes brownies, you could also even buy pre-made brownies. Then we took some black icing and decorated them like Winifred's book. 
Next I made some pizza skulls, I called these 'skeleton singer skulls'. We simply used ready-made pizza dough in the skull pan, tomato sauce and pepperoni! You could also easily just make a pumpkin shaped pizza, that would be fun too! 
I used store-bought Chex mix and just called it 'a-muck a-muck a-munch mix'! Now whenever my son asks for Chex mix he asks for a-muck a-muck a-munch! 
I also put some lil smokies and barbecue sauce in a crock pot and called them 'dead man's toes'. 
Finally I did some 'Black magic brew', this was just purple Kool-Aid! 
Overall it was a super easy dinner to make that is fun for the Halloween season! I put a video together on Instagram so don't forget to go check that out too! We plan to eat it while watching Hocus Pocus and all of our other favorite Halloween movies! I hope everybody has a happy, fun, and safe Halloween!! 🎃

Mix in the cooked pasta while it is still warm. Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Chill for at least 2 hours. As the macaroni sits the mayonnaise will be absorbed, before serving ad in the reserved sauce.

Peanut Butter Banana Chocolate Protein Shake

What could be better than chocolate and peanut butter in the morning?!? This is usually my go to shake! It's ones of my favorites! It uses pantry staples that you most certainly have in your pantry already. I've been using Orgain protein powders for years now and they are my favorite. I don't think they have a funny aftertaste and they blend well! Plus they are free from alot of common allergens!  Normally I would use ice in place of the frozen banana, however I happen to have some leftover frozen bananas. Using frozen bananas with give it a much creamier texture than using just ice. of course if you don't have frozen banan just use ice and an unfrozen banana! It's just as good! I like to use bananas that have a good speckle of to them! The bananas are much sweeter when they get to this point. I would t use black bananas though (I save those for banana bread). Lets get started on this simple shake! Ingredients : 1 scoop creamy cho
