Halloween

Yep,

That terribly wonderful, yet dreaded day when the Candy starts showing up in every nook and cranny in your house! I love this time of year, all the scary movies, the decorations, etc, but it seems like the beginning of the hardest part of my year. The holiday seasons are upon us, but don’t worry there are treats that will curb your appetite for candy!

So, you have a hankering for chocolate? Well guess what you can have it! If you have a bag of dark chocolate kisses eat a couple (not the whole bag…just a couple) and you will feel better!

Want something high in carbs? Well try this recipe I found on Pinterest….

Oyster Cracker Mix

1 bag oyster crackers

1 package of Hidden Valley Powder Ranch Mix

1/4 cup olive oil

Mix the Ranch Mix and oil together (I add Garlic and Pepper to taste as well, but up to you). Mix in the oyster crackers and bake in the oven fro 15 minutes at 400 or until golden brown. Make sure to mix the crackers every five minutes to keep them evenly toasted.

A 1/4 cup serving really gets to be enough to curb my appetite as well!

As for all of those wonderful bags of candy your kids will bring home, dont worry about that. Out of sight out of mind? Right? Well, if you can’t keep your mind off the candy, start working on at home projects, like decorating for Turkey Day! Get your kids into it as well, so you don’t have to worry about them wanting to sneak into their candy as well. One suggestion is to keep the candy put up in a cabinet where they can’t reach it so you and them have to work to get it.

Don’t worry, I know these may seem like little things to prevent the candy intake, but to be honest, making little changes is way easier than making a bunch of big changes!

So, good luck to all of you on the Inter web as the holiday season takes over! Have a wonderful Halloween Week!
