For example, if you really want to gross people out, this Kitty Litter Cake looks too disgusting to even think about trying. Would YOU eat one of those chocolate logs?

Cackleberry has a non-disgusting, seriously cool idea for a pumpkin pizza that your kids can help you make for Halloween. Looks delish!

Rice Krispy Skulls on Sticks are perfect for little kids who wouldn’t eat anything too gross and Upside Down Pumpkin Filled Chocolate Cupcakes are a great dessert for adults and kids alike.

How about some Sticky Bat Wings? The black, slimy chicken wings sound delicious if you can get past the looks.

For those with a sweet tooth, a coffin cake and monster are a great centerpiece.

I’d love to hear what your favorite Halloween recipes are! Share them in the comments.

Pasta salads are an old standby for celebrations like the ones this month, but this Garden Pasta Salad is really something special. It is packed with delicious vegetables and there really isn’t a lot of pasta included, so it would be a gerat choice for those on a diet, as well.

If you’re looking for an excuse to fire up the BBQ and keep the heat outside, then you might want to try these mouthwatering Indian-Style Grilled Chicken Breasts. Or, for something a little more exotic, how about Grilled Swordfish Steaks?

Another tasty recipe is this Tuscan Bread Salad, so light and so perfect for hot summer afternoons.

And speaking of bread . . . Turkey on Foccacia is a great way to enjoy a meal that isn’t too heavy or hot. Remember, sandwiches are great for any meal! There’s a Frozen Lemonade Pie just below that recipe on the same page, sounds tasty!

For those of you in the U.S., a beatiful flag cake would not go amiss and here is a recipe for one.

For those of you who prefer to have a full menu plan, here´s a quick meal for every night of the week.

To really kick it up a notch, while keeping things quick and easy, try this Broiled Salmon with Spinach Feta Saute. It looks like a delicious dish that anyone would be able to make . . . a great dish to have in your standard company´s coming recipe box!

Or, if you just want to be able to toss something in the oven and deal with it later, then Summer Squash and Sausage might be just the ticket. Also in that hearty meal vein, we have Pantry Potato Soup.

What are your favorite fast dinner recipes?

First up, a classic breakfast, or two. Here are some delicious, diner-style recipes for Buttermilk Waffles and Sour Cream Pancakes. I`m not a huge fan of pancakes, but there are some little people in my family who would go nuts for these!

A great way to make breakfast once and eat for a week is to take the time to make some granola. What I love about this is that you can totally customize it, adding dried fruit and nuts of your choice, yogurt covered raisins, chocolate chips, or other grains and spices to taste. Plus, it keeps for quite some time and makes a great snack, too.

Another make ahead breakfast that sounds divine are these Strawberry Lemon Muffins. Rest assured they will be making an appearance soon in our home since we are fans of both flavors!

Cranberry Granola Cookies are a great way to fool your kids into thinking they`re getting a treat for breakfast. Though these really do sound like a treat . . . maybe we`re not fooling anyone!

And last, but not least, here`s a raw breakfast smoothie recipe. Even if you aren`t a raw foodist, having a nice smoothie once in a while will give you an energy boost and get you going in the morning.

I`ll leave you with a shot of my son`s birthday cake that I made for him on Sunday . . . which we had for breakfast on Monday!

Fish is well known for cooking up fast and this Quick and Easy Halibut is something that you can whip up in no time while still impressing your family and friends. Or, for something even more elegant and just as fast, this Quinoa Salad With Scallops & Snow Peas fits the bill, too.

If you prefer beef to fish, then you might want to try making some tasty Grilled Meat Munchers that will give you an excuse to set up the grill . . . or just make them in a skillet if you prefer.

In the realm of chicken, this Chicken Oregano sounds divine and fast, as does 10 Minute Szechuan Chicken.

Now, on to some of the best recipes we`ve found this week on the blogosphere!

Let`s start with the desserts . . . if you have a sweet tooth and want something a little different, yet still elegant, might I suggest these wonderful looking Praline Vanilla Custards?

If you`re not into praline flavors, what about the oh-so-classic peanut butter and chocolate combo? Over at Orange Blossom Water, there`s a recipe for Magic in the Middles . . . chocolate cookies with peanut butter centers. Sounds like a match made in Heaven!

Impress your visitors with this spring inspired dish, Gnocci in Heirloom Tomato Sauce. It`s the perfect meal for guests and if you use frozen gnocci, you`ll have it whipped up in no time at all.

These cute little TMTs (Tuna Melt Tomatoes) are so simple and yet such a neat idea. Perfect for convincing your kids to eat some real food or as a side dish for family and friends.

And finally, whether you are vegetarian or not, tofu can be a great way to get some protein into your diet. Here`s a neat recipe for baked tofu that looks just scrumptious!

Remember the days of scooping fingerfuls of cookie dough out of your mother`s mixing bowl when she wasn`t looking? Remember when that became a deadly thing to do because of salmonella and other nasty things that raw eggs can do to you? I`ve had salmonella and since I know precisely what it does to you, I don`t dare let my kids enjoy what was once a truly awesome rite of childhood. Until this recipe. Raw Cookie Dough That`s Safe to Eat. Hello! What a great idea!

Cherry and Apricot Cobbler takes a familiar recipe and pumps it up a notch, definitely going to be making this one for the family once cherries are in season here!
