Here is another recipe from Gibbs Smith‘s Little Monsters Cookbook. Kids are going to love this! Get some lemon and lime pop and add some food colouring to it and ice. Fill up the glass until it is about an inch from the rim. Then… add Pop Rocks! Hubby Plays Mad Scientist! from Suzie Ridler on Vimeo My […]
Halloween Treats: Syrian Hummus and Homemade Crunchers
I tested a couple of recipes from Gibbs Smith‘s book Little Monsters Cookbook and here you see my rendition of their Coffin Crunchers! I did not have pitas so I used tortillas instead. I cut out Halloween shapes, put them on a parchment-lined baking sheet: I brushed on some olive oil, Italian seasoning and some Parmesan. I had […]

Halloween Treat: Betty Crocker Witches’ Brooms
This recipe for Betty Crocker Witches’ Brooms came to me from Ava after my cinnamon witch’s broom turned out to be so difficult to make! Thanks so much Ava!
