    Looking for Recipe: Vegetable Skeleton
    Hi everybody!
    I am having a Halloween Party very soon and cannot find this recipe. I believe it was in Quick Cooking, but cannot remember when.
    It is a skeleton made from veggies, such as celery and carrots, and I believe the skull was a head of lettuce. More than the recipe, I need the picture for the visual.
    If anyone has this and can share the picture, I would GREATLY appreciate it!!

    Thanks!
    Stacey

    Hi Stacey, I was also looking for the magazine with the cute vegetable skeleton and could not find it any where. I was very upset! However this afternoon, I was grocery shopping and I thought I would look one more time and there it was. The magazine is called " Celebrate Halloween" by Phyllis Hoffman. I hope this is the same vegetable skeleton your looking for. Good Luck, Cindy (punkin)
