Halloween has always been Bytes favorite holiday. And these were fun and so easy to make - just his style. Shrunken Potato Heads are perfect for a Halloween themed gathering to eat, drink, and be scary! A few minutes of prep and the oven does the rest. Gather the number of potatoes you need and scrub well. You'll need a melon ball cutter and a sharp knife. Use your imagination to create faces using the melon ball cutter and knife. And any other tool you conjure up! Place in oven preheated to 350 degrees. Put the potatoes directly on the rack so the hot oven can do it's work. No oil or anything else on the potato skin.

Lunch Conversation – traveling geckos

Minty Christmas Cookies
Minty Christmas Cookies are fun! Fun colors, fun and easy to make and decorate, fun to make with littles. Best of all, they are fun to eat! Use the paste colors because they give deeper color without adding extra liquid. It’s no secret that I am not good at dipping things in chocolate! (Remember? How not to make peppermint patties and Chocolate covered Cheeseballs) I frosted half of each cookie with the melted chocolate instead of dipping. Requires less chocolate – saves $ and lowers the carb count a tiny bit and is a whole lot easier! Melt about half the given amount if you do this. Have fun!
