Homemade Halloween Make-up Recipes and Games
by Tawra Kellam
by Tawra Kellam
The average American family spends over $100 per year on Halloween goodies. As your kids drag you through aisles full of ghosts and goblins, the scariest thing about Halloween is threatening to leave bite marks in your pocketbook. No wonder so many moms flee screaming from the store... It can be much less expensive and a lot more fun to devise your own chilling creations. Here are a few tips that you can use to stave off the greenback gremlins and exercise your creative muscle. It won't hurt a bit! These and other free frugal tips are available at www.LivingOnADime.com.
Face Paint
1 tsp. corn starch1/2 tsp. water
1/2 tsp. cold cream
food coloring
Mix all ingredients together in an old muffin pan and you are ready to paint. This amount makes one color.
Fake Wound
1 Tbsp Vaseline
tissue
cocoa powder
2-3 drops red food coloring
tissue
cocoa powder
2-3 drops red food coloring
Place Vaseline in a bowl. Add food coloring. Blend with a toothpick. Stir in a pinch of cocoa to make a darker blood color. Separate tissue. Using 1 layer, tear a 2x3 inch piece and place at wound site. Cover with petroleum jelly and mold into the shape of a wound. The center should be lower than the sides. Fill the center with the red petroleum jelly mixture. Sprinkle center with some cocoa. Sprinkle a little around the edges of the wound to make darker.
Fake Blood- Mix 2/3 cup white corn syrup, 1 tsp. red food coloring, 2-3 drops blue food coloring to darken and 1 squirt dish soap (helps blood to run well).
Abrasions -Dab brown, red and black eye shadow on area. Apply blood over area with cotton balls. Use comb to gently scratch area in one direction. Apply cocoa or dirt over wound with cotton balls.
Black Eye - Apply red and blue eye shadow to depressions around eyes.
Bruises - Rub red and blue shadow over bony area to simulate recent bruises. Blue and yellow eye shadow to create older bruises.
Look Old - Cover face with baby powder. Draw dark lines on your skin for wrinkles. Smooth edges to blend. Cover again with baby powder. Add baby powder to your hair to create gray hair.
Deviled Eyeballs - Make deviled eggs. Add a green olive with pimento in the center for an "eyeball".
Radioactive Juice- Mix equal parts Mountain Dew and blue Kool-Aid
Toxic Juice- Add some green food coloring to lemonade for a spooky color!
Brains- Scramble eggs with some green, yellow and blue food coloring
Bloody Eyeballs- Boil cherry tomatoes 30 seconds. Allow to cool; then peel skin.
Goblin Hand- Freeze green Kool-Aid in a rubber or latex glove, float in punch.
Use the tape from old cassettes or black yarn to make spider webs.
Use cotton balls stretched out for small spider webs.
Glass Jack-o-Lantern- Outline a pumpkin face on a spaghetti or pickle jar with black paint. The paint around the outside of it with orange paint. Place a candle inside for a jack-o-lantern.
Halloween Guess It Game
In this game, you challenge the participants to reach into mystery boxes filled with creepy things and try to guess what each item is. The person with the most correct answers wins the game. An example is if you want them to guess "grapes", you might try to confuse them by saying, "I think it's eyeballs..."
Cut a hole in the top of a shoe box or laundry box for each item to be used. Cover the box with black spray paint. Decorate each box with pumpkins or spiders for a more festive flavor. Place the following items inside, one per box. Be sure to place enough of each item so the guests can adequately "feel" the guts.
Eyeballs - grapes or peeled cherry tomatoes
Intestines- Cooked Spaghetti
Skin- oil a piece of plastic bag
Brains- scrambled eggs
Hair- an old clown wig
Bones- thoroughly washed chicken bones placed in some sand
Vomit-chunky salsa
Fingers-hot dogs cut into finger sized pieces
Teeth- corn nuts, pine nuts or popcorn
Have a Pumpkin Hunt
Hide mini pumpkins like you would Easter Eggs. Let the kids find and decorate them. For small children use glue sticks with construction paper cut-outs for decorations.
Edible Slime
Pour lime gelatin into a glass bowl. After it is partially set, add gummy worms. Chill until lightly set. Then serve slopped all over the plate.
Bloody Popcorn- Add red food color to melted butter and pour over popcorn.
Freeze gummy worms in ice cubes and add them to drinks. Cut gummy worms in half if needed.

Need Textbooks? Check Out Campus Book Rentals!
If you've ever been to college, or are looking into college, you probably know how expensive college textbooks can be. You can easily spend in the neighborhod of $1,000 on a full college load's (4-5 classes) worth of text books. Even if you are able to purchase some used, you can end up paying a lot of money. So what's a better option?
Campus Book Rentals is a website that allows you to rent textbooks at a fraction of the price you would otherwise pay (up to 90%!). You find the books you need, add them to your cart and have them shipped to you free. You will also receive a free return envelope, so it doesn't cost you to return the books at the end of your term. Here is a video illustrating how it works.
So for example, this textbook on College Physics is about $16 to rent. New this book would cost about $75 or more. Even on Amazon, an "acceptable" one is over $20. Maybe not a huge difference, but still something. Plus, you don't have to go through the trouble of trying to resell it. Or having it sitting around your house forever. Personally, I had very few textbooks I wanted to keep once the class was over, but textbooks are generally not something a regular used bookstore wants either. Sometimes even the used textbook store that sold it to you won't buy it back!
So, the hassle of finding something to do with the books is also removed. And in my opinion, that would be a great perk in itself! They also offer monthly giveaways, textbook scholarships and a referral program.
And as if these benefits aren't enough, you would also be supporting a good cause by renting your textbooks at Campus Book Rentals, because with each book rental, the company makes a donation to Operation Smile--an organization that provides surgeries to children born with a cleft lip and who could not otherwise afford the surgery.
So, those are lots of great reasons to choose Campus Book Rentals for your textbook needs. So spread the word to the college students in your life. And if you're one of those folks that reads textbooks for fun, this is for you too. ;-)

This is another time I forgot to take a picture of the finished product. So the picture is the food still cooking in the skillet. Next time I make it, I will try to update the picture!
This is a fairly healthy, simple meal, so I thought I'd share. I know a lot of the stuff I usually share isn't the most diet-friendly stuff, so I thought 'd share a healthy option for once. :-)
Here is what you'll need:
3/4 lb boneless chicken breast (about 1 1/2 breast for me), cubed
4 tsp olive oil
2 TBSP minced garlic
1/3 cup (give or take) diced carrots
1/4 cup (give or take) diced onion
1 can (14.5 oz) undrained diced tomatoes--I used fire-roasted
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup uncooked couscous
First you need to dice your onion, carrots and garlic while the oil heats up in the skillet. Make sure the skillet is large enough to hold all the ingregients--plus space to spare, as the couscous will expand!
Cook the carrots, onion in garlic in the oil until they start to get soft. While that was cooking, I used kitchen scissors to cut up the chicken.
Then add the chicken to the skillet and saute until cooked through (about 6-8 minutes). When the chicken is cooked, add the undrained tomatoes and chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Add the couscous and turn heat to low, cover and simmer until couscous is cooked and liquid is absorbed. Fluff and serve. Serves 4.
Bonus Receipe: Minestrone Soup
If you happen to have some left over, you can use it to make a nice minestrone soup. I had 1/4 of the chicken couscous skillet left over, so I added it to:
2 cups chicken broth
1 can garbanzo beans (drained and rinsed)
4 oz can tomato sauce
1 cup frozen spinach
1 1/2 tsp each of basil and oregano
a "handful" of frozen meatballs (optional)
salt and pepper to taste
Put all the ingredients in a pot on low for about an hour, while you make the fabulous pepperoni rolls to go with it. ;-) Top with grated parmesan, if desired.

Festive Friday: Homemade Apple Recipes
October is here and it's the season for cooking with apples. Apple pies, apple cider, apple...you get the idea. So, here is a lovely article from Living on a Dime with some wonderful apple recipes (from their e-book, Dining on a Dime) that just look yummy. I may have to try one soon...:-)
But first, since we're on the subject of apple recipes, I thought I would share this recipe for apple brownies from the Martha Stewart Living magazine. I haven't actually tried these, but I thought they sounded interesting.
Ingredients:
1 stick butter, melted and cooled
1 cup flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1/2 chopped walnuts
2 large apples, peeled, cored and cut into 1/2 inch cubes
First, mix together the flour, cinnamon, baking powder and soda and salt. Then beat together butter, sugar and egg about 2 minutes. Add walnuts and apples and stir by hand, followed by the flour mixture.
Spread batter in a generously buttered 8x11 baking dish and bake on 350 degrees for about 40 minutes, until golden brown and slightly firm.
Cool on a wire rack about 30 minutes and cute into 12 bars. And that's it!
So now, read on for some more yummy apple recipes from Living on a Dime!
Delicious Homemade Recipes For Using Apples!
by Jill Cooper
http://www.livingonadime.com/
I've always dreamed of having an apple tree in my backyard. You know the old saying, "Be careful what you wish for?" Now that I actually have my own apple tree, I stand in my yard watching the apples piling up around me thinking, "Oh no -- What do I do with this mess now?"
If I could make gasoline out of apples, I could retire, but since that is not an option and my frugal mind will not allow me to waste one apple, I have had to come up with some yummier "apple disposal" methods.
If you find that you have a few dozen more apples than you know what to do with, or if you just can't resist the great sales that stores have on apples this time of year, these recipes from Dining On A Dime will help settle your frugal dilemma.
Apple Tips:
- When you have a partially eaten apple, save the good part and chop it into pieces. Place in a microwave safe dish. Blend together 1 tsp. each brown sugar, flour, oatmeal and margarine and a dash of cinnamon. Top the apple with the topping and microwave until tender.
- Core and slice apples very thin. Dehydrate and use in granolas, eat alone or soften in warm water to use in recipes.
- Slice apples and use in pancakes or waffles.
- Freeze extra apples for later. Peel, slice and core them and then store in 2 cup portions in freezer bags.
- Use soft apples in cooking.
- Cut apples into small pieces and add to salads with a fruit based dressing.
Homemade Apple Butter
9 to 10 apples, cored, peeled and chopped
2 cups sugar
2 tsp. cinnamon
1/8 tsp. cloves
1/8 tsp. salt
Place everything into a crockpot. Stir, cover and cook on high 1 hour. Cook on low for 9-11 hours or until thick and dark brown. Stir occasionally. Uncover and cook on low 1 hour longer. Stir with whisk until smooth. Refrigerate or Freeze. Makes 2 pints.
Apple Pie Filling
9 cups baking apples, peeled, cored and sliced
1 1/2 Tbsp. lemon juice
5 cups water
2 1/4 cups sugar
1/2 cup cornstarch
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp. nutmeg
Toss apples with lemon juice and set aside. Combine the rest of the ingredients in a Dutch oven and bring to a boil for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add apples and return to boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until apples are tender (6-10 minutes). Cool for 30 minutes. Then ladle into freezer containers or bake immediately. Makes two 9-inch pies.
Fried Apples
4 large apples, cored and sliced
3 Tbsp. butter or margarine
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
Cut apples into 1/4 inch slices. Heat butter in a large skillet. Put the apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon in the skillet and cover. Over medium-low heat, cook apple slices 7-10 minutes or until they begin to soften and the syrup thickens. Serve coated with excess syrup on top. Serves 4.
Baked Apples
apples, cored
raisins (optional)
1 tsp. margarine
dash of cinnamon
dash of nutmeg
1 Tbsp. honey or brown sugar
(These ingredient amounts are per apple.)
For each person, use 1 apple. Fill the center of the apple with all the ingredients. Bake at 350 degrees until tender or put in a Dutch oven on top of stove and simmer on very low until tender.
Apple Snack
2 qts. apples, peeled, cored and halvedCoarsely grate apples. Place on a greased cookie sheet. Bake at 225 degrees until dry. Remove from cookie sheet and break into pieces. Store in an airtight container.
Apple Crisp
6 apples, peeled and sliced
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup oatmeal
1/2 cup flour
1 tsp. cinnamon and/or nutmeg
1/2 cup water
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Arrange apples in a well-greased baking dish. Blend all remaining ingredients except water. Spread evenly over top of apples. Pour water over the topping. Bake 45 minutes until apples are tender and top is crisp. Serves 6.
Peach Crisp
Use peaches in place of apples.
