If you're like me, you're a mom who likes to make the most of every holiday. With school-aged kids, I'm one of those moms who has a box of goodies stored in the attic for each and every holiday. I find it so much fun to decorate the house, wear holiday-themed t-shirts, and plan festive meals to celebrate each holiday as it comes along. Naturally, Halloween is up there on the list of most fun holidays to celebrate!
This year, I came up with this “Dark-Side” Halloween-themed dinner that will really get your family in the spirit! Featuring Cooked Perfect® Fire Grilled Chicken and the easiest ever stovetop mac and cheese (served in spooky jack-o-lantern cups!), this meal is one your family won't forget!
