Because Domestic Life is SWEET!: Something Evil this way Comes! ATTENTION~~Because of the influx of emails asking me which recipe I used to make these cookies, I am posting a like to my sugar Cookie Recipe HERE! Okay, back to the post: Tomorrow for school, I get my first crack at dress-up; the kindergarten kids who only come on Tuesdays and Thursdays are having their party. I guess I need to get a makeup-check before the big day! The ghoulies are already stealing my cookies.
No, that is not my hand all yuckie with dirt. Actually, those digits belong to the time-honored traditional Halloween baking known as: Witchy fingers! I've always loved the way these simple cookies make Halloween tables look. They are the simplest cookie too. I like to brush mine with a little cocoa-powder after baking (with a paint brush) to make the hands look dirty and contrast-like.
Honestly, this is a no-fail treat (unless there are allergies involved). A lot of people have asked 'how did I do this.' How thin and long should I roll the dough: As for the thinness of the dough..

Each year around this time when the leaves start to change and I start to feel that crisp little bite in the air on a morning run, I get all tingly with excitement. Don’t get me wrong, I love the fresh air and sticking my toes in the warm sand as much as the next person, but there is something special about cuddling with a snuggly old blanket, sipping on a warm drink, and working on a new craft at the kitchen table. Many of my favorite crafts are made of things that I already have lying around the house. Here are five projects you can do with your kids that are cheap, eco-friendly, and fun!

About the Author. Because Domestic Life is SWEET!: October 2011. Have you ever wanted to make your own Pasta? It's not hard, but it does take some work. The reward is something tailored to your taste, and something without preservatives!
In my books, that's worth it! This week, because of all my squash/pumpkin cook-downs, I decided that I should make some delicious Squash Ravioli! Start with your pasta. I mix 3 eggs, 3 tbsp water (maybe more), 3 tbsp oil, and 3 cups of flour. While that is resting, mix your filling. Squash Ravioli filling:1 c of squash puree1 pinch cinnamon1 pinch nutmeg1 tsp brown sugar1 pinch salt1/4 c feta, crumbled. Mix contents together, set aside and wait for the pasta. Now, take half of the ball, and roll it out either with your pasta maker, or if you are Hobo like me, grab your rolling pin and start sweating it out! Keep your pasta from drying out. Now, using a small crimped circle/square cookie cutter, cut out circles for the ravioli. Once that is done, take a little water, and dab around the sides of the ravioli circles.
