5 Ways to be Green This Halloween

Halloween can be a fantastic time of the year for both kids and adults, but with all those decorations, the costumes, candy and more, it can also mean a lot of waste. But, you can make this a green Halloween if you take these eco friendly tips into consideration and do a little forward planning.

1) Make Your Halloween Candy A Healthy Choice

By choosing your Halloween candy wisely, you’ll be helping to protect your kids’ health as well as the environment. Check out your local health food store to see what they have to offer. Opt for organic treats that aren’t full of artificial ingredients, as well as fair trade chocolate or even homemade baked treats.

Halloween "Bloodshot Red Ghoul Eyes" Recipe

These devilled eggs are gruesome looking but really taste great and they will be the hit of the party.  For the best bloodshot effect serve them within 2 hours of making them.

Ingredients:

3 C of hot water
2 T red food coloring
1 T of white vinegar
6 hard boiled eggs, cracked but not peeled
1/3 C of mayonnaise
1/4 C of green onions, chopped fine
2 T cilantro, minced
2 t Dijon style mustard
12 ripe olives, sliced
1 t ketchup
 
Directions:

Pour the water into a large mixing bowl.  Add the food coloring and vinegar and whisk to blend together well.  Add the eggs and if the water does not completely cover the eggs add more hot water.  Let the eggs stand for 30 minutes. 

Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and peel.  Cut the eggs in half.  Remove the yolks and place in a small mixing bowl. Place the whites on a platter and set aside.

Mash the yolks with a fork. Add the mayonnaise, onions, cilantro and mustard and stir until well combined.

Stuff the egg whites with the egg yolk mixture.  Press 1 slice of the olive into the egg yolk mixture.  Fill the center ring of each olive slice with a dab of ketchup.

Refrigerate until ready to serve.
