It also makes a perfect appetizer for any Halloween occasion. The head and body of the skeleton are packed full of nutritious veggies such as cucumber, mushrooms, carrots, broccoli and cherry tomatoes. The best part is that the recipe is completely customizable. Any of the veggies can be substituted and you can boost flavor by including fresh herbs. Ranch dressing is recommended for the dipping sauce, but hummus is a great dairy-free alternative. “Bone appetite!”

Main Course
Jack-o’-lantern chicken and rice stuffed peppers
This next recipe is inspired by Everyday Jenny, to the table. Orange bell peppers look just like jack-o-lanterns and the whole meal will “give em’ pumpkin to talk about!” With spicy shredded chick instead of ground beef and brown rice instead of white rice you can’t go wrong on the nutrition factor. They suggest cooking the chicken ahead of time or picking up a rotisserie chicken for an easier prep. It is also recommended to toast the brown rice in olive oil to bring out the flavor. Creating the jack-o-lantern face is simple to do by using a paring knife. “Orange you excited for Halloween?”
