I hope everyone has a fun day!
My advice that if you are handing out Halloween candy - make sure that it is ALL GONE by the end of the night!! Give every bit of it away!
If you are going out with your kids, have a plan to hide their candy! Halloween candy is the worst - totally empty sugar filled calories. And for some of us if we start - we can't stop. So don't start!
Enjoy watching the cute costumes and don't blow your diet!
I always make chili, cornbread, and a pumpkin-flavored desert for Halloween. This year I made pumpkin spice cake with cream cheese icing. I saved up enough calories to allow myself a piece of the cake in addition to one corn muffin. However, I was worried the Reese's Cups would call my name all night and I would be forced to eat one in honor of the holiday (ya know?). I was able to eat my meal, have my piece of cake, and then put the rest away. I gave out candy all night and we still have a bunch left, but I realized that I didn't really want that Reese's Cup as much as I thought I would. My son brought home a TON of candy and I still had some left over, so I brought a huge bag in to work that I will use to refill candy dishes in our reception area. That should make short work of the sugar and keep it off my butt!! HAHAHA!!
ReplyDeleteYour Halloween meal sounds wonderful! I also had a huge struggle avoiding the Reese's Cup - Marc bought some even though we get ZERO trick or treaters GRRRRR.... But I claim victory this morning!
