Year-round turn your favorite cheese sandwich into a  “face” sandwich, and in the fall it becomes the ideal Halloween sandwich. I also turn my Ooey Gooey Squares into fun Halloween kids recipes with orange food coloring.  If you can't find orange food coloring, remember red and yellow make orange! Also, the kids love to make these homemade cinnamon rolls with biscuits and I have more easy healthy kid recipes on my healthy food blog
