Meatloaf Mummies, Mashed Potato Ghosts, & Viruses

This was the first time I made these little mummy guys.  They are kind of cute.  The kids loved them.

Meatloaf Mummies:

Just make your favorite family meatloaf recipe & mold them into mini-meatloaf cakes in muffin cups.  Since they are cupcake size you only have to cook them for about 30 minutes at 350 degrees.  Check them to see if they're cooked through, but it's a whole lot faster than a typical meatloaf.  Next make some mashed potatoes & try to make them a thinner consistency.  Add them to a pastry piping bag & a thin frosting tip.  Add 2 peas as eyes & frost strips of mashed potatoes on top of the meatloaves to make a little mummy face.  Super cute, tasty, & filling.

Mashed Potato Ghosts:

With your leftover mashed potatoes make little piles with a point & add olive pieces as eyes.

Viruses:

My kids LOVE grapes.  I asked them what they though grapes looked like that was spooky & they said a virus . . . so there you go.  Viruses.
