Another Halloween Treat for Your Kids

By Drew | Published: October 21, 2009

Here’s another one you can try on your kids for Halloween: Turle poop soup.

Just take your biscuit dough and form it into the shape of a sea turtle. (This might have started out as a spider, but long skinny legs were too hard. Maybe.) Then a few “nuggets” to follow along behind. Float them on top of beef stew, and that’s it.
 
 
UPDATE: Oh no. I goofed. Those weren’t turtles. That was what I thought they looked like. It was actually … Rat Stew. Sorry for the misunderstanding.


Want more like this? For more recipes like this, that you can hold right in your hands, and write on, take notes, tear pages out if you want (Gosh, you're tough on books, aren't you?) you might be interested in How To Cook Like Your Grandmother, 2nd edition, Illustrated. Or to learn your way around the kitchen, check out Starting From Scratch: The Owner's Manual for Your Kitchen.

    Hey Drew… since you mentioned halloween, I wanted to ask you for some ideas on what to do with roasted pumpkin BESIDES pie and soup and eating it plain. The pumpkin here is AWESOME and there certainly is a LOT of it around. THANKS!

    Those nuggets are baby turtles, not doodie, right?

    Cooking used to be all about making food that tasted good. But somewhere along the way, we seem to have decided the diet-of-the-week was more important. How to Cook Like Your Grandmother is a return to recipes and techniques that are based on what tastes good, not on junk science and fad diets. You won't find the words lite, low, lean, free or skim anywhere. This is all real food, cooked the way Grandma would have done it.

  • Buy the Other Book



    People have been making and eating food as long as there have been people. And food. But somehow we've let ourselves believe that it's something only experts can do "right". That's where Starting From Scratch comes in. I'm not saying you'll go from zero to hero just by reading it, but at least now you'll know what those self-proclaimed experts are talking about.
