Reese's Bats Are The Perfect Halloween Snack Absolutely batty!

These Reese's bats check all the boxes: delicious, adorable and super easy. Not to mention they're a total blast to make with kids! You only need four ingredients: mini Reese's, Oreos, peanut butter, and candy eyes.

To start, separate the Oreo cookies from the cream. (What you do with the cream is entirely up to you.) Next, slice them in half. There may be some casualties as Oreos can be a bit crumbly, I suggest using a serrated paring knife. Next, attach them to your Reese's with a dab of peanut butter. Apply the same peanut butter method for the eyes and you've got your bats!

11 Best Types of Fish to Eat

Fish is a healthy, high-protein food that has a rightful place in a well-balanced diet. Fish is especially important for its omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential “good” fats that humans don’t produce on their own. Research has demonstrated that omega-3 fatty acids play an essential role in brain and heart health. Specifically, they have been shown to decrease inflammation, reduce the risk of heart disease , and be beneficial for pre- and post-natal development . The American Heart Association recommends eating fish, particularly fatty fish like salmon, lake trout, sardines, and albacore tuna, which are high in omega-3s, at least two times a week. There are minor risks associated with eating fish, however, because of potential contaminants from waste, like mercury and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Children and pregnant women should be especially cognizant of these risks. The United States Food and Drug Association says these groups sh...

Jacques Pepin's Flatbread Recipe

I saw Chef Pepin make this on one of his shows, and thought, that is almost like the bread I used to make when I lived on the Beach in St. Augustine Florida and I had no yeast. I called it a cheat pizza dough, and I added tons of granulated garlic. Serves 6 1 1⁄2 cups/188g regular all purpose flour 1 cup/250ml water 1⁄4 teaspoon/2ml baking powder 1⁄4 teaspoon/2ml salt 2 tablespoons/30ml olive oil 2 tablespoons/30ml water Dump everything (except the 2 tablespoons water) into a bowl and "stir it into a gooey stuff" as Jacques says. The dough will indeed be very wet, gooey, sticky. Stir in any optional ingredients. Heat a non-stick 10" / 25.4 cm skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Pour about a tablespoon of olive oil into the pan and then pour in the dough. Spread into one flat layer with a spoon or spatula. (A little oil on the spoon or spatula helps keep the dough from sticking to it.) Add remaining water around the outside of the dough where it meets the pan; the o...
