April Fool's Day Fun

Just thought I would share the fun dinner that I made for my family last night.

It actually was quite frustrating because Walmart didn't have any of the ingredients I needed, so I totally had to improvise. Walmart stinks!

We had "cupcakes", which was actually meatloaf with mashed potatoes on top. These didn't look very real because I didn't have time (because of all the time I spend searching at Walmart) to "frost" them. I just had to smash the potatoes on top so Wes and Brandon could eat fast and leave for young men's. Oh well, at least they tasted great.We also had "pizza." Sugar cookie dough with jam, drizzled with white chocolate. It was supposed to have green peppers (green fruit roll ups), olives (sliced black licorice ropes), and mushrooms (using cashews). Walmart didn't have green fruit roll ups. They didn't even have any plain red ones. I had to cut around stupid tongue tattoos printed on the roll-ups to get the circles for pepperoni. They also didn't have black licorice ropes. (And they were out of rice crispies for another recipe I was going to make--how lame is that?)

The pizza actually tasted a lot better than I thought it would. It was really yummy and I think I might start making it into bars or cookie strips. Minus the fruit roll up pepperoni of course.
