Food suggestions for "Sin" Dinner-
*Stromboli (when it is whole, it could kind of look like a snake...)
-trees (Tree of Life, Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil)
*Fried Apples (fruit...forbidden fruit?)
*Cowtails-snake
*gummy worms-snake
*nerds ropes-snake
Alternate desserts -apples and hot caramel or caramel apple on a stick
********************************************************
Stromboli (makes 2 stromboli...half for 1)
- 2 loaves of frozen bread, thawed and risen (following directions on bag) or two pizza-dough-in-a-refrigerator-tube.
- jar pizza sauce
- 3- 8 oz bags of shredded mozzarella cheese (at least)
- pizza fixins...we use browned sausage and pepperoni, but my kids like it with just cheese)
- Parmesan cheese
- melted butter
- garlic salt
Preheat oven to 350
On a cookie sheet, smoosh out bread dough or pizza dough into a 15 inch by 4 inch rectangle (more or less). In the center, spoon a line down the middle of the dough from one long end to the other, leaving about 1.5 inches on either long end.
Sprinkle about 1/3 -1/2 of a bag of cheese from one long end to the other, leaving the very ends empty. Do the same with the pizza toppings and sprinkle with cheese again (about half of whatever you have left)
Fold up the ends about 1 1/2 inches, then bring sides together all the way up. Pinch them together firmly...you should have a long tube-ish looking thing.
Turn it over carefully (seam side down), curve slightly to make it fit on the pan. Cut some slits in the top to vent so that the whole thing doesn't explode the cheese all over when you bake it. Brush with melted butter, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and garlic salt.
Repeat with other dough and ingredients.
Bake about 30 minutes...it should be browned and hollow sounding if you tap it.
Take out of the oven and let cool about 10 minutes....cut into slices and serve, but if you want the kids to see the snake, kind of leave it that shape or show them before you cut it.

Broccoli
We just cook the broccoli in the microwave to crisp tender (cut up in a microwave safe pan and covered...no water...for 2 minutes) and put butter on it and melted Cheez Whiz.

Sauteed Apples
(2011) Tonight I sauteed the apples in butter and put in some brown sugar. My kids won't eat that, so I will give them some apple slices.

Dessert Pontifications
Apples can go with the meal or for dessert...Cowtails, gummy worms, or nerds rope are the dessert as well. Just one of them...sometimes they can be hard to find.
(2011 update) May try fried apples for the dessert for people who want them there with the cowtail kind of placed on top and slightly melted...kind of like a caramel apple. Open to suggestions here...
(2013) we added hot caramel dip, as the Cowtails---below--- are increasingly hard to find.)
(2014) made caramel apples with the wrap-able caramel sheets that we have in the produce section. One child loved these the best, but these are kind of sticky to the teeth so it was a one year event)

Ornament-Fruit/snake
The ornament is a fruit with a snake on it...however you want to do it. So the Jesse (Christmas) tree at
this point at our house has the world (from Creation) and the fruit/snake thing(from Sin)...and the lights...I love the multicolored lights. We have a
pomegranate with a plastic snake twisted around it...that gets some interesting reactions from people who are looking at the Christmas tree;-). But you could also use a plastic apple, or a piece of black cloth or anything that represents "sin" to you
