Instructions

Spaghetti and Eyeballs

  1. Prepare spaghetti noodles, sauce, and meatballs according to package directions. Form “nests” of noodles by twirling noodles in a serving ladle with a fork and then placing in a serving bowl. After meatballs have cooled slightly, cut out circles of mozzarella cheese and place one circle on each meatball, creating the start of an eyeball. Place one black olive slice over the cheese circle, completing the eye. Gently place meatballs randomly over the spaghetti. Add green olives over the top, to taste. For more detailed directions, and to make your own meatballs, see our Spaghetti and Eyeballs post.

Caesar "Spider" Salad

  1. Use a large black olive to look like a spider by cutting the olive in half. Cut a second olive in half then cut each half into four "legs" totally eight legs.
  2. Spread cream cheese on a crouton. Place the four olive legs on each side and place an olive half in the center creating a black olive spider.
  3. Combine salad mix in a bowl.
  4. Top with spider croutons on top.

Mummy Cheesy Garlic Bread

  1. Bake garlic bread according to package directions. Remove from bag place halves onto baking sheet.
  2. Cut up some strips of mozzarella cheese (strips of string cheese work well too). 
  3. Strategically place the strips on one half of the garlic bread to look like mummy wrap. Add olive slices for eyes.
  4. Bake at 375℉ for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese starts to melt.
