It’s not easy being the kid of a food blogger. Just ask mine!

There’s all that posing with the produce, being the hand model for a fork holding a perfect bite of cake, testing the cookies that arrive in the mail, emptying the dishwasher twice a day when mom is on a cooking binge…it’s hellish, I tell you!

And then there’s Halloween, when mom wants you to go as some funny food. Here are some fabulously creative examples I picked up from my social media feeds. I love the brilliance!

Julia,
Thanks for the compliment!
I would rather you NOT post my post on your blog, but if you want to refer to it and give the URL so people can come here and look at it, I would be most grateful.

These are too cute! The Milk Mom and Hot Dog Cart are so sweet and the S’mores are brilliant! If only mine would choose cute rather than gory!

Patricia,
When I was small, I had my hair in a pageboy and people used to tell me I looked like the Morton Salt girl.
