This is great! I have done baby sugar pies with stuffing, only, but never a full meal like this- I like it! I bet you could do a meal in a pumpkin, using the baby sugar pies too..for smaller families, or one, or two people...great idea Jean!
Marilyn..you are cold, and we are WET! And about 50! Goofy! Rain storms predicted for trick or treat..poor kids!
