A Fun Halloween Meal for the Kids: Puking Pumpkins

I'm totally having fun with this whole fun food for dinner Saturday night. I love seeing my kid's faces when I put their plate on the table. I love hearing "no way. Great job, Mom." It makes my entire day!

And how could I not make this for Halloween?!?! I'm not sure where I saw it. A Heart Full of Love made stuffed pepper jack 'o lanterns but they were a little different.  Taste of Home also did something similar, but different.  But I knew my kids would love this idea.  I mean really, which wouldn't love a pumpkin barfing up spaghetti???  My son had me "fill 'er up" four times!

They were really easy.  We used orange peppers and carved little faces in them.  Then we made spaghetti and filled them up.  Take a fork or a knife and pull some of the noodles out through the mouth.  And voila!  Puking pumpkins.
