Gross-out food for Halloween

I have two boys.
Let me repeat: I have two boys.
No matter what anyone says about children being children and all being the same, I can tell you, that’s a load of hooey.
Sure, there are girls who are not so girly (I, myself, was always a tomboy) and boys who are not so enamored of fart jokes. But, in general, there is a difference between the sexes that seems to rear its head at the youngest of ages.
Whenever one of my boys is having a meltdown or an emotional moment, I know that nine times out of 10, I can make a joke about farts or poop and all turns to giggles. Heck, most of the time, I merely need to say, “booger” or “poop” and a giggle fest ensues.
So I knew when I saw this recipe for “Protein Pus Pockets,” I had a winner in something that would be relatively healthy for Halloween, but appeal to their baser nature.
Whole wheat pitas, low-fat or fat-free mozzarella and deli meat. Oh, and ketchup as fake blood. Even this suggestion:
You could probably sprinkle some additional cheese on the platter to represent maggots.
This, I was sure, was written by the father or mother of a boy.
The estimated nutritional info:
between 200-240 calories
around 6 grams of fat
between 12-15 grams of protein
around 25 grams of carbs
And it looks like something super gross; perfect for Halloween.
Enjoy All Hallow’s Eve, moms and dads. If you know of anything else super-gross I could make my little men for the holiday, please share.
