It’s a strange Foodie Friday, because tomorrow is Halloween night, and the last thing I have on my mind is healthy eating.
Confession time: for me, Halloween is a one-night high-fructose corn syrup-soaked feast, a no-holds-barred visit back to a simpler time in my life, a time when sugar was sugar (HFCS? What’s that?), and sugar meant fun. So tomorrow night, yes, I will eat Reese’s. Yes, I will eat Snicker’s. And yes, several mini Milky Ways will get frozen for later consumption. Fresh living? That will have to wait until 11/1.
“You have to have treats,” a friend told me years ago after a successful Weight Watchers experience. I entirely agree. Most of the time, my treats are high-cocoa-content dark chocolate or tea cakes made from whole wheat pastry flour and fresh pumpkin. But the “treat” in “trick-or-treat” does not involve whole wheat pastry flour. It involves tiny chocolate bars, individually wrapped, loaded with the worst, most deliciously naughty “food-like substances” there are.
And so, I wish you all a very happy Halloween. Because we all need treats.

While everybody are busy celebrating the halloween,i will be busy working,as i always do everyday.My tiredness is worth just to see my
girls smiles,i cannot bake the favorite pumpkin pie cake because of my work schedule,but halloween or not,as long as pumpkin is available,i can still catch up baking my favorite pie.Chocolates and candies for the children trick or treating.Knock on every doors,and may God bless the door that opens for the children.

Hi! this is Joe a dental surgeon of PA. The only thing that I would like to suggest is minimize eating sweets. It will not just give you tooth decay but it will also add up to your weight. It’s hard to be an obese.
