1 zombie heart - diced (red bell pepper)
1 troll nose - diced (pablano pepper or small can of green chilies)
1 ball of mummy wrappings - diced (onion)
3 witch boogers - diced (garlic cloves)
1 lbs. ground beast (your choice)
1 pouch of Uncle Pablo's ashes (taco seasoning mix)
1 pouch of crushed skull and bones (ranch salad seasoning mix)
1 28 oz. can of monster guts (crushed tomatoes)
1 15 oz. can of eyes of newt (pinto beans)
1 15 oz. can of moles from a bat's behind (black beans)
1 11 oz. can of mummy teeth (mexicorn)
1 8 oz. can of salamanders (cut green beans)
1-2 cups of werewolf saliva (chicken broth)
2 tbsp. of vinegar from rotten apples (apple cider vinegar)
salt and pepper to taste
Chopped fresh lichen or moss to garnish (parsley)
Optional: Hollowed out pumpkin or cauldron for sering
To Prepare:
Drizzle the ear wax in a hot soup pan. Saute the next four ingredients for about 3 minutes. Add the ground beast. Saute until lightly browned and the screaming has stopped. Beat regularly so meat doesn't try to escape or clump up.
Add crushed skull and bones and Uncle Pablo's ashes. Stir, stir, stir. Cackle. Add canned items, werewolf saliva and vinegar.
Stir, stir, stir, cackle. Add salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil, then lower heat to a roiling, simmering, bubbling potion for about 40 minutes. Stir often and cackle more. Serve in wooden bowls, a hollowed out pumpkin, or black cauldron if you feel so inclined.
(Feed to others to cast your spell.) Enjoy!

My daughters both loved this story about Lula and her wanting to be a chef. The rhyming words and the pace of the story are fun to zip right along. My favorite things about Lula’s Brew is that I can put it on for my toddler and it can be read to her by the author and all she has to do is swipe her finger across when the words stop, something that she has gotten quite good at. I recommend checking out Lula’s Brew on iTunes today it is a cute story and children really enjoy it. - The Dirty Shirt
It is an adorable story and actually quite long so it is definitely worth the $1.99. The narrator has a lovely voice and she even changes her voice when speaking for the different characters. My absolute favorite part though is the colorful illustrations. They are so vivid and really make the story all the better. Even though Halloween is just a few days away, I think the app. is perfect for anytime and it is too cute to miss!

The illustrations in this app are gorgeous and it has the feel of a real picture book. ... I won’t spoil the ending of the story but I’ll tell you it’s a happy one and the message behind Lula’s Brew is great.

Delightful in every way! My 4 year-old daughter and I both loved this charming picture book about an inventive young witch. It is narrated, written and illustrated by the enormously talented Elizabeth O. Dulemba.
This app is presents a sweet, engaging and funny tale with bright, full-of-heart illustrations and easily-maneuvered page turns. It is wonderful for occupying a little one, as I have. It is adorable – a treasure you’ll be glad you have many times over.

I so enjoyed reading this story by Elizabeth O. Dulemba. The author has combined engaging rhyme in the text with detailed illustrations. The faces on the characters will bring additional pleasure while you read this story to your child.
- Dad of Divas Reviews
This was an adorable story full of encouragement that dreams do come true and you can be anything you wish... The book has amazing full page illustrations created by Elizabeth O. Dulemba. The font is easy to read and though it is a perfect book for Halloween it works for anytime of the year!
