FUNTASTIC FRIDAY LINK PARTY 508 and A BATTY HALLOWEEN

Welcome to Funtastic Friday! We appreciate you joining us each week and always look forward to the posts that you share! So difficult to choose just one Feature.

The weather here in Nevada is beautiful and warm (almost 90 for a high) but cools down nicely in the evenings to the 40s, which is practically balmy considering we can get down to below zero in the winter. How is the weather and your Fall season?

Sharing another oldie but goodie from our posts. These bats are nice to make for yourself or as a gift for someone who loves Halloween!

FUNTASTIC FRIDAY LINK PARTY AND FALL IDEAS

Happy Thursday evening! Hope you are having some beautiful late summer weather in your area. Here in Northern Nevada, the high was about 75 today, sunny, and just LOVELY! The nights are a bit cooler in the 40s but not bad at all.

Sharing an idea for a DIY HALLOWEEN WREATH that can be made with items you buy or, as I did, items I already had at home! I love it when a plan comes together lol.

Here's the party and out Features from last week's party!

MONSTER EYE MEATBALLS! PERFECT FOR HALLOWEEN

It's September so some believe it's "HALLOWEEN EVE" LOL. No matter what you believe, we have a fun and tasty recipe for you to make during the Halloween season and/or especially on Halloween.

These Monster Eye Meatballs are tasty by themselves or with pasta. The cheese adds a bit more protein for your little monsters, too. Granted, not all kids will relish the olives but those are easy enough to remove, after the initial presentation.

MONSTER EYE MEATBALL RECIPE

*Of course, you can use your own recipe or use frozen meatballs from the store!

For the "eyeballs":

One pound ground beef

Half chopped white or yellow onion

1/4 cup Italian-seasoned bread crumbs

1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

1 egg

Dash salt and pepper

For eyeballs:

Mozzarella cheese

Small can sliced black olives

Mix all together in bowl and form into meatballs. Fry in pan (with oil or butter, if needed). Once completely cooked, place on paper towel on platter. While still warm, cut small slices of mozzarella cheese and round edges. Place one slice on each meatball and top with one small slice of black olive.

Add meatballs, "eye side up" onto prepared spaghetti/pasta with sauce.

Fun for the kids and yummy, too!

Cut small slices of mozzarella cheese, rounded off on the edges. Place on still-warm meatballs, as a piece4 of sliced black olives for the "pupils" and there you go!

Place eye up on spaghetti and ENJOY!
