Food Blog of the Week - KidsKuisine

I came across KidsKuisine when I did a Google search looking for Spider Cake ideas for my children's books and cooking blog, A Readable Feast. KidsKuisine is from the folks at CopyKat Recips, another terrific foodsite.

The recipes on KidsKuisine just for Halloween are hysterical - Pumpkin Gut Nachos, Graveyard Pudding, and Witches Tongues, for example. Of course there's the infamous Kitty Litter Cake, too.

Their creativity blows me away. In the future, I will be consulting this site every time a kids' party food idea is needed. Out of the 34 Halloween recipes, I especially loved this one:

Strained Eyeballs 
Serving Size: 12

Not all Halloween treats need to be sweet.

Ingredients:

• 6 eggs, hardcooked, cooled and peeled
• 6 oz. whipped cream cheese
• 12 green olives stuffed with pimientos
• red food coloring or ketchup

Directions:

1. Half eggs widthwise. Remove yolks and fill the hole with cream cheese, smoothing surface as much as possible.
2. Press an olive into each cream cheese eyeball, pimiento up, for an eerie green iris and red pupil.
3. Dip a toothpick into ketchup and draw broken blood vessels in the cream cheese.

Since I'd hate to throw away the yolks, I'd experiment with adding some of it into the cream cheese. Yellow-ish eyes would be even scarier than white ones.
