This recipe is fairly simple, great for picky eaters. But there’s lots of room for kicking up the flavour – try adding shredded rotisserie chicken, avocado, refried beans, green onions and any other toppings you love.

What You’ll Need:

• Tortillas
• Red pepper
• Onion
• Salt and pepper
• Oil
• Cheddar and Mozzarella shredded cheese
• Salsa
• Cutting board
• Sharp knife
• Large pan

Firstly, thinly slice the onion and red pepper.

Add the sliced onions, red peppers, salt and pepper, and oil to a pan.

And then cook on medium heat for 5-7 minutes.

Place a tortilla on a cutting board.

Use a sharp knife to cut eyes into the tortilla.

And then some nostrils,

and finish the face with a scary smile.

Top another tortilla with some of the cooked onions and red peppers,

and then the two shredded cheeses,

and then some salsa.

Top the quesadilla with the scary face we cut out earlier.

Cook the tortilla in a pan on medium heat for about 10 minutes. We recommend not flipping the tortilla as the cheese will melt through the face holes and will certainly leave a bit of a mess.

These creepy quesadillas are such a fun Halloween food idea – perfect for lunch, dinner and party appetizers!

Setting the jello on an angle is key to making this dessert look stunning! We do this by placing the dessert glass into a muffin tin and leaning it against a dish towel. Be sure to clear some room in the fridge in advance so you can transfer the tray easily. Once the jello is set and the custard has been added, finish with a delightful cherry and slice of lime on top.

Apples go hand in hand with Thanksgiving. They are ripe in the fall and make perfect desserts after big family meals . And apple desserts don’t get much easier than baked apples. These Baked Apples with Caramel and Brown Sugar are sweet and savoury, and will make your house smell amazing while they’re cooking! Three steps – using an apple corer, stuffing with oatmeal and spices, baking and they’re done. Serve with ice cream or whipped cream and it’s a dessert guaranteed to please.

Our recipe calls for adding caramel sauce for a sweet topping. We added caramel because we LOVE caramel (who doesn’t?) and it goes so well with apples. We used a ready-made sauce to save time, but you could easily make your own. If you need a custard recipe, try this one from our friends at Nutriciously.

Baked Apples with Caramel and Brown Sugar

Remove the apple cores and fill with 1/2 tsp caramel sauce.

Mix the brown sugar, oats and cinnamon in a bowl and then spoon some of the mix into each apple. Spoon 1/2 tsp of caramel sauce on top and then again add more of the oat mix and pack firmly.

Arrange the apples in a baking dish and top each one with some butter.

Bake for 40 – 50 minutes, until the apples are soft and the skin wrinkled. Serve warm with additional caramel drizzled over top of the apples and with a scoop of ice cream (try our Easy Homemade Almond Ice Cream!) or whipped cream.
