25 Not-so-Scary Halloween Movies

It's Halloween time! And I'll admit, Halloween is not my favorite holiday. I mean, it's fun when you're a kid because it's all about dressing up like a princess or a pirate and getting lots of  candy! But when you get older, Halloween turns into "how scared can I get?" A lot of people, especially teenagers and young adults, like seeking out ways to be completely terrified. Apparently it's a great thrill! Personally, I hate being scared and I especially hate scary movies. Luckily, there is still a light side to this creepy holiday and some great movies to go along with it! So here is my list of 25 not-so-scary Halloween movies to help get you in the light spirit of Halloween!

Conference Crepes

I look forward to General Conference weekend every 6 months. It is such a great time to relax with our families, listen to the words of our inspired leaders, and recharge our spiritual batteries. But there is one more reason that I always look forward to Conference... Food! It has been my family's tradition to make lots of food, especially treats, to snack on while we watched Conference. My mom would make a big breakfast and then we would all pitch in to make our favorite treats. I am carrying on this tradition in my own home. So today, I made one of my favorite big breakfasts to start off our General Conference feast. Here is the recipe for my Aunt Cheryl's Crepes.

CREPES

1 1/3 cup milk
2 T. vegetable oil
3 eggs
1 1/2 cup flour
1/8 tsp. salt
1 T. sugar

Mix ingredients in order until smooth and well-blended. Let mixture sit for several minutes before cooking. Methods for cooking:
Non-stick pan
Pour small amount (about 1/8 cup) of the mixture into pre-heated non-stick pan. Tilt pan to evenly distribute mixture. Make it thin. Cook approximately 1 minute, then turn and cook other side for 1 minute.
Electric Griddle
Use 1/4 cup measuring cup to pour mixture on griddle heated to 250 degrees.  Use bottom of measuring cup to spread mixture into a thin circular form. Cook approximately 1 minute then turn and cook other side for 1 minute.
Hand-held Crepe maker
Pour mixture onto a deep round plate. Heat crepe maker. Dip heated side into mixture on the plate. Cook approximately 30 seconds then turn and cook other side for 30 seconds.
