I made this for my sister’s sister-in-law. She is due to have a baby girl very soon! She is going to name her “Nola.” So cute!

I got this idea from this cookbook. It’s not necessarily for Halloween, but hey, skeletons are great for Halloween, right? You can use dip or ranch dressing for the head part, but I decided to use cottage cheese to be a bit healthier. (Since we will have PLENTY of candy this weekend!) The kids were so excited. I’ve never seen the veggies eaten so fast! :)

Yummy Fall Dinner: Hot Cornbread and White Chili with Chicken

Fruit “Pumpkins”, White Chili with Chicken, and Hot Wheat Cornbread=Yum!  Here’s the link to make:
snack-o-lanterns. Here is the recipe for White Chili with Chicken. For the cornbread I used a basic cornbread recipe, but I reduced the oil, used yummy hand-ground wheat flour in place of the white, and sugared the pan to make the edges sweet. (I sprayed the pan with “Pam” and then lightly dusted with granulated sugar before pouring in the cornbread batter.) It made a tasty, and healthy dinner. So fun for fall! Although, there has been some snow today! So maybe fall is on its way out?…
