Oogie Boogie Cupcakes

I love that I added the kids corner, there are so many

fun things out there for kids whether it's DIY or food.

Halloween is around the corner so I thought I would

share this recipe, I made it years ago for CJ's

birthday party. How many you make depends on how

many boxes of cake mix you buy.

Ingredients:

box of chocolate cake mix

plastic decorating bag for piping

black licorice

cupcake frosting tinted "monster" green

kitchen scissors

toothpicks

cupcake holders

marshmallows

gummy worms optional

Create:

Make your cupcakes according to box directions

and then let cool completely.

Frost the cupcakes with a thin layer of icing.

Place a half marshmallow on the center of each frosted cupcake.

Cut off the tip of the plastic decorating bag so that

the opening is about 3/4" wide. Then fill the bag with

green frosting, don't fill the bag to full.

Working with one cupcake at a time, pipe frosting around

the base of the marshmallow and then up and over it;

moving toward the center and ending with a large peak.

Smooth the surface of the frosting with a butter knife,

periodically dipping the tip of the knife in water so icing

will be easier to spread. Don't worry about making it perfectly

smooth it will look even more like Oogie Boogie

with a few lumps and wrinkles.

Snip a pair of narrow licorice eyes and a wide licorice

mouth for each cupcake. use the tip of a toothpick to

gently press the candy pieces into the frosting face,

angling the eyes a bit to resemble Oogie Boogie.

If making these for a party, place cupcakes on a

tray with gummy worms placed out on the tray to

resemble the worms he had on him.

Buffalo Chicken Nachos

Football has started so everyone wants something to snack on BUT I even look for something different for dinner. I tried to look up buffalo chicken shit on a shingle with no recipes but I came across this one. Now you can do the nachos or you can create your own shit on a shingle version with a piece of toast and melted cheese on top of the toast with the buffalo chicken on top...hmmmm... Anyways, here ya go. Recipe makes 6-8 servings. What you'll need: Nachos.... 1/3 - 1/2c you're favorite hot sauce 3c cooked shredded chicken 8-10oz tortilla chips 1 1/3 - 2c shredded Mexican blend cheese Topping.... 1/2c plain greek yogurt 3-5T more of hot sauce 3-4 green onions thinly sliced Create: Preheat the oven to 400˚F. In a medium bowl, mix the hot sauce with the shredded chicken until well coated. Set aside. Place the tortilla chips in an even layer on a baking sheet, face side up so the chips will hold the toppings. Add the chicken evenly over the chips, followed by the cheese. Bak

Home Remedies for Sinus Drainage

Every time I get a sinus infection I have sinus drainage forever or at least it seems so I had looked up ways to help the drainage. Below are a few ideas to try next time you start looking like Rudolph. Drink plenty of fluids Run a humidifier or vaporizer Use saline solution and or a Neti Pot (make your own mixture for the Neti Pot by dissolving 1tsp of sea salt in 1 pint of distilled water. Add a pinch of baking soda to the mixture.) Steam! Boil some water and add some eucalyptus oil to the water (you can use Walmart's brand for this). Lower the pot to a simmer and take a towel over your head and put your head over the pot. Chicken Soup, yes you read that right! A 2000 study found that chicken soup reduces inflammation associated with sinus congestion, runny nose and colds. Warm & Cold Compresses, lay back with the warm compress draped across your nose, cheeks and forehead for 3 minutes. Remove and replace with a cold compress for 30 second
