Food for Fooling

This year I did not pull one April Fools prank. However, I couldn't let the whole day go unnoticed, so instead I decided to serve these silly foods. They were really fun to make, and even more fun to see reactions.

Cupcakes made of meatloaf and colored mashed pototoes.


(Calvin looks completely in awe that I am allowing him to eat those for dinner).


And for dessert, little hamburger cookies made from Nilla wafers dipped in sesame seeds, colored coconut for lettuce, and a grasshopper cookie for the beef.


I am such a sucker for anything minature, so these really caught my eye.

And MAN was everything delish! Of course, the kids were a little leary, and even Cole and I, but once we divulged, it was SO YUMMY! Love the mini burgers. SO cute. Thanks for including me in the fun!

I'm a little disappointed not to hear of any good pranks... I remember so really good ones you pulled back in the day. J/K

Anyway, your mashed potatoes are beautiful colors and I love the mini hamburgers.

Your quilt turned out great and I can't agree with you more about binding. I really need to have someone good teach me.
