Today’s Tip: You CAN still enjoy the holiday with healthy Halloween snacks
I was on the search this week for links to share with you and I found quite a few great ones. These might help you with some last minute snack ideas.
Here are some really cool looking Halloween recipes. I love the Pizza Mummies and the Pear Witch Project. So adorable.
I’m so glad to hear some teachers are making the decision to go healthy this Halloween. Sure it might not be THAT fun but when they are older they will thank him/her for it. Deb came up with a few fun and tasty ideas. I love the apple/peanut butter combo. YUM!
Livestrong has quite a few options for guilt free Halloween treats and they also share a list of 100 calorie and 50 calorie treats. I love York Peppermint Patties!
And lastly Spark People tells us about some high calorie ‘treats’ to watch out for this holiday season and tricks to modify those. And you’ll see why I have never been to the Cheesecake Factory. OH MY!

Personally, I’m not big on Halloween. I told hubs I would love to just turn off the lights and go out to dinner but I don’t think that’s going to happen. He said he would hand out the candy so I might just let him but then I usually get the itch to see all the cute little ones in their costumes so maybe we’ll just enjoy the experience.
Every Halloween hubby’s office plans out a theme and last year they were the 7 Dwarf’s and Kev was Dopey. He’s very crafty and makes his own costumes every year. Here he is as Dopey
Adorable yes?
This year they will all dress up as characters from the Wizard of Oz. I’ll have pictures to post on Saturday. And no, I’m not dressing up! Last year, I enjoyed some funky fake eyelashes and a cool stick on face tattoo but nothing planned for this year.
Are you dressing up for Halloween?
I really don’t like to spend so much $$$ on costumes or Halloween candy and I wait until the last minute anyway. Kev says I have to buy some candy but I don’t wanna waaaahhhh. It’s so tempting and I usually cannot control myself. HELP!
Be safe this Halloween!
P.S. Last Halloween, I shared some healthy Halloween tips. Enjoy!

Great snack ideas! I love the family fun. I have subscribed to the magazine for 8 years now!! Can’t wait to see the picture of Kevin as the Tin man!

WOW 8 years to the one magazine. They must be good.
I’m looking forward to seeing the pictures that Kev took today. I didn’t go up to his office like I did last year so hope they got a lot.
