Trick or TREAT

Usually when there is a pot luck involved, I have NO idea what to bring. I am still wondering what my special signature pot luck dish will be...I don't think it's going to be any past contributions - Pepsi and Root Beer, Tim Horton's donuts, pasta salad. 

With the help of the good ol' world wide web and Better Homes and Gardens magazine, I came up with some cute and fun pot luck contributions worthy of a Halloween Brunch: Mummy Dogs and Owl Eyes

I am exhausted from the excitement and the time it's taken me to create these culinary marvels so I won't be posting any pictures (or proof). But I swear, I really did make these. Just ask the ladies that will be there tomorrow. 

Mummy Dogs

Ingredients:

1 can Pillsbury crescent rolls

10 large hot-dogs

Cheese - optional (this would have been too much for me, baby steps people)

Directions:

1. Heat oven to 375 F

2. Unroll dough; separate at perforations, creating 4 rectangles. Press perforations to seal. 

3. With knife or pizza cutter, cut each rectangle lengthwise into 10 pieces (making a total of 40)

4.  Wrap 4 pieces of dough around each hot dog to look like "bandages", stretching dough slightly to completely cover hot dog. 

5. Place on cookie sheet (I sprayed with cooking spray) - Bake 13-17 minutes or until dough is light golden brown and hot dogs are hot

6. With mustard, draw features

7. Prepare yourself for a whirlwind of compliments!

Pesto Cream Cheese Owl Eyes

I have to give props to my super creative sister-in-law, Angie, for creating these for Presley's baby shower. Not only were they theme appropriate (that woman should be a party planner) but they were super tasty too!

This recipe is just too long and hard (that's what she said), so I am not going to type it all out. You can pretty much figure it out from the picture

And now, I'm off to bed. I'm exhausted.
