Happy Halloween! As of yet, I have not dug into my stash of Halloween candy. The goal is to open it for the first trick-or-treater and have exactly 49 little ghouls/goblins/witches/supermen come to the door so that I have only 1 Reese’s cup leftover for myself. We’ll see how that works out for me.
Pre-Gym – slice of low-sodium Ezekiel bread & my last Aminolast packet (actually this was between running and lifting)
Breakfast – a schmear of pb on a slice of low-sodium ‘zeek bread with half an apple (*tip: thinly slice your apple and microwave it for about 20 seconds to soften it up – yum!)
Snack – ridiculously good banana bread
Lunch – salad (lettuce, cabbage, boiled egg, sunflower seeds, carrots, broccoli, & Newman’s Own lite honey mustard)
Snack -7 almonds and a small honeycrisp apple
Dinner – tempeh Guinness pumpkin pie – Recipe Coming Tomorrow – and some bedtime snack baked potato chips, whoops!
Don’t scare too many little kids, and don’t eat too much candy. Wow, I really took the fun out of that, didn’t I? Have fun tonight!
- What’s your favorite Halloween candy?
- Please tell me you don’t give out stickers or toothbrushes.

Let us know how the 49-trick-o-treaters work out!
Thanks for the tip on the apple slices!

I love your theory! Every year I secretly wish that, never happens though. My favorite candy has always been Reese’s. That salad looks delicious!

Haha, good luck with your halloween plan! I currently don’t have any halloween candy in the house, and I’m not planning on buying it until the second I give it away. Otherwise it’s all gonna end up in mah belly…
Happy WIAW, Tiff:)

I’m a big fan of candy corn. It just screams halloween.
I’m curious about the tempeh recipe . . .

um I made the mistake of buying two HUGE bags of candy from Costco.. I just hope we get a lot of kids this year!

Hehe I’m not sure your Halloween plan of action would work out well for me because I don’t think I’ll be getting many kids this year – it’s just too cold! It looks like I’ll be snacking on KitKats and Coffee Crisps for a while…

I love how your cat’s face was framed perfectly by the bite out of your banana bread. Haha.
Looking forward to that Guiness pumpkin pie. Sounds delicious!
Favorite Halloween candy: Dark chocolate kit-kats!

We don’t get any trick-or-treaters at my house. In the 2 years i’ve lived there we’ve had a total of probably 5, so this year I’m going to my parents for dinner, who also don’t get any ever bc they live out in the boonies. lol.

Haha I didn’t know bread had enough sodium to need a “low sodium” version. You can’t go wrong with Ezekiel though!

That dinner sounds delicious!
We only had about a third of the kids we normally get due to the cold. So now I have SO much chocolate and candy left! My faves are Peanut Butter Cups, sour Skittles, and the cream eggs!

Haha! Nice plan there Tiff…hope it worked out for ya!
Yay for cookie nookie!! So sad I finished my jar…best damn peanut butter EVER! Mmm, can’t wait to see the recipe for that tempeh pumpkin pie!
I’m not a huge candy person (cookies are my kryptonite) but it’s rare that I turn down a free Reese’s cup!

My favorite candy as a kid was always skittles… YUM.
How did not eating but only 1 peanut butter cup go yesterday?

Not well! I have so much candy leftover. It’s shoved in a hiding spot in my pantry, but I need to find a way to get rid of it!

Doing vegan month for October eliminates most of the Halloween treats and temptations for me…its both a great (and sad) thing…
