Fish Fam Foodies: October 2016

These simple and fun Yummy Mummies aka Halloweenies are one of my kids favorite things to make and eat during Halloween!!

I make the dough from scratch. I always use Six Sisters "Homemade Pizza Factory Breadsticks" recipe. Super easy, but does take a little bit of time due to rising.

1½ cups warm water

2 Tbsp. sugar

1 Tbsp. yeast

Let that sit for 5 minutes. Then add:

3½ cups flour

1 tsp Salt

Mix until smooth then let raise for 10 minutes. Roll out dough into a large square on a floured surface. Brush with melted (real) butter mixed with garlic and then sprinkle with kosher salt. Fold in half and cut into 1 inch strips. Twist and place on a cooking sheet. Let sit for 15 to 20 minutes to raise. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately after baking, brush with more garlic butter and sprinkle with kosher salt and grated parmesan cheese.

*I always end up needing a little big more flour so it's not sticky. For these Halloweenies I didn't do any garlic or parmesan cheese, but I think I should've. And I usually add olives for the eyes, but didn't have any, so raisins it was. These have always been the best breadsticks ever, or in this case Halloweenies ever!

I served them with some homemade pesto over Barilla tri-colored spiral noodles and some very cute Charly Brown Halloween pasta....

My kids love the homemade basil pesto that I make. It's something that I can't eat because of the garlic and cheese in it, but oh my goodness it smells so good. Basil makes everything smell so wonderful!
