Swamp Witch Energy Drink

Not everything about the swamp witch has to be gloomy and doomy - she has to get her energy up too. And sometimes she gets her energy up with this exact drink. Who else is going to fly down and pick up trick-or-treaters on their special day?

(Swamp Witch Energy Drink Ingredients)

• Combine and Chill!
• 1 part Lemon Juice
• 1/2 part Apple Cider Vinegar (organic, with mother)
• 2 parts Soda (or regular) Water
• 1 tbl Chlorophyll
• 1-2 tbl Agave Nectar (optional)

(Directions)

• Combine ingredients and Serve with ice!
• Enjoy!

The chlorophyll provides salt and the rest of the ingredients are supposed to add sugar and a sort of "zing!" to the drink.

Halloween Goodies #1 (Peanut Butter Caramel Popcorn)

Scary, isn't it? The dark shadow, the red fabric and the eerie glow of the popcorn tell you not to put it in your mouth. But the popcorn is so inviting and it smells divine! The tantalizing smell of caramel, the pop of the spice and the hint of salt and peanut butter is too much to resist. This devilish treat is surely a crowd pleaser for the little goblins and ghouls who will most definitely appear at your house. Keep your popped corn on hand - because this is going to be a sweet ride!

(Peanut Butter Caramel Popcorn Ingredients)

• 5 tbl Coconut Oil
• 1/4 Cup Brown Sugar
• 1/2 Cup White Sugar
• 1 tsp Sea Salt
• 1 tsp Red Pepper Flakes
• 1/4 Cup Soymilk
• 2-4 tbl Low-fat Peanut Butter
• A Small Squirt of Lemon Juice
• Unsalted Crushed Peanuts (optional)
• Cooked popcorn

(Directions)

• Melt the coconut oil in a thick-bottomed pan and add in your sugar. Stir those in for a while as you drizzle in the soymilk. Let it thicken and bubble.
• While still stirring, add the salt and pepper flakes. Let that go for another five minutes and add the lemon juice. It should be thick and you should kind of be able to tell how far the caramel is in with it's thickness.
• Stir in the peanut butter and a touch of extra salt if you like, it should look like a thick caramel by now. Stick a spoon in it to test it's thickness.
• Spread it over your popcorn evenly and sprinkle the peanuts over. Mix it together until coated and serve warm or cooled.
• Enjoy!

Skips The Yeti Bento

Unfortunately my "egg" sheet didn't turn out right because someone had accidentally bought extra-firm tofu (and I used the wrong pan). I would suggest using medium-firm for the strength and some smoothness, but silken for total smoothness. I added a little High-Five Ghost onigiri from the leftover rice and made Skips a bit more adorable with sriracha cheeks and nori eyes.

Skips Bento Ingredient List:
Sticky Rice
Vegan Egg Sheet
Nori
Sriracha
Tomatillo
Grapes (two colors)
Carrots
Black Bean Falafel
Spinach
Oven-Dried Tomatoes

Enjoy!

Kittybread/Neko-pan (猫ーパン）

First of all, I want to point out how clear this picture is - I'm really getting better with my photos, don't you think? Second of all - this is another bread themed animal in meme form! It came all the way from a storybook in Japan so why don't you invite it for breakfast, lunch and dinner? You can use any type of sticky condiment onto the bread for the facial features or you can use more bread before you bake it.

Kittybread Recipe:
1 and 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
1 and 1/2 cups Whole Wheat Flour
1 and 1/4 cups Warm Water
2 tsp Rapid-Rise Yeast
1/2 tsp Sea Salt

Kittybread Ears Recipe:
1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Flour
1/4 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Rapid-Rise Yeast
Enough Warm Water to make the dough

Mix all of the dry ingredients together (keeping the two recipes separate) and then slowly add the water. Once they are a dough, toss one onto a well-floured board and knead for about 10 minutes or until an elastic ball. Repeat with the other dough and let them rise for about one and a half hours. After they have risen, place the larger dough in a well-greased bread pan and then separate the smaller ball. Roll the two smaller balls into tube shapes and place over the large loaf. Pinch the tops and try to shape them into triangles as much as possible. Let that rest for one and half more hours and preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Bake for about 30 minutes or until your knife comes out clean from the insides. Let that rest for an hour and use whatever you like to put on the facial features - I used peanut butter and nori since it was what I could think of.


Enjoy!
