Ya here we are week two of the
recipe challenge and linky!
The two recipes Amber brings us this week are not only SPOOK-tacular but delicious!!
1.) HOOT-OWL FACE
I fell in love with this little Hoot-Owl face the minute I saw it. It is just too cute. The hashbrown eyebrows are my favorite part, and delicious too. This recipe is very simple and doesn't require any complicated cooking. It is mostly just assembling the plate before serving. This is a great recipe for cooking with your kids. When hard boiling eggs use eggs that have been in your fridge for a little while, not ones you bought from the grocery store that day. They will peel easier but they are more prone to cracking while cooking so don't jostle your pot too much.
Serves: 4
Start-to-Finish: 45 minutes (30 minutes are for preparing your eggs. However, if you boil your eggs the night before and let them cool in the refrigerator overnight this recipe takes no time at all in the morning.)

Recipe By: Amber Brunson
Ingredients:
4 eggs
4 slices of bread
1 orange, sliced
1 tsp salt
jam
butter
2 small red potatoes, shredded (or a bag of frozen hashbrowns)
8 blueberries (if you don't have blueberries handy you can also swirl a bit of ketchup on your eggs to make the eyes)
Directions:
1. Put eggs in a pot and fill with cold water until just covering eggs.
2. Add a tsp of salt to the water and cover with a lid. (The salt makes it easier to peel the eggs later on.)
3. Put the pot of water on the stove to boil.
4. When the water hits boiling turn off the heat but leave the pot on the warm burner for 15 minutes.
5. Remove pot from stove and drain water.
6. Allow eggs to cool completely before peeling.
7. Peel hardboiled eggs and slice in half. (This step is actually harder than it sounds so cut slowly with a very sharp knife.)
8. While eggs are cooling, clean and peel potatoes.
9. Shred potatoes using a cheese grater.
10. In a pan, melt 1 teaspoon butter
11. Arrange hashbrowns into a "V" shape and fry until crispy and gold brown.
12. Chop orange into wedges.
13. Toast slices of bread.
14. Cut toast in half diagonally.
15. Spread butter and jam on toast.
16. Arrange plate with hashbrown eyebrows, hard-boiled egg eyes, blueberry eyeballs, an orange slice beak, and toast wings.

2.) MONSTER MOUTHS #2
I have a presonal love affair with candy corn so of course I opt for the sweeter version; but you could easily use pumpkin seeds to make more realistic looking vampire teeth that I was very impressed with, too. This treat gets my son, Vans, Seal of Approval; just look at his happy little face.
Serves: 4 (1/2 apple per serving)
Start-to-Finish: 15 minutes
Start-to-Finish: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
2 apples
2/3 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup candy corn (or other treat to use as teeth)
Directions:
1. Cut apples into quarters.
2. Cut out a wedge from each quarter (try not to let these mouth wedges go all the way through the apple or your peanut butter will be able to sneak out the back).
3. Fill mouth wedge with peanut butter (if you are having trouble making the peanut butter stick, dry the apple a little with a paper towel).
4. Arrange the candy corn on the peanut butter to look like teeth.
