<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Halloween will be extra tricky this year. According to the National Confectioners Association, 80% of adults they surveyed believe they can still make Halloween fun. I want to make it scary\u2026in a good way. I\u2019m a bit of a wimp when it comes to all things scary so making plans that help make this year fun and tricky are much more my style. With a wave of my magic wand, I\u2019ll put a healthy spell on this Halloween.<\/p>\n
Face Mask Fright:<\/strong><\/span> Let your face mask become part of the fun:<\/p>\n Trick or treating:<\/strong> <\/span>Not like before, maybe better.<\/p>\n Car Rides:<\/strong> <\/span>A car ride can scare up more fun.<\/p>\n Haunted in your home:<\/strong><\/span> Your home is your own haunted castle…or crypt…or just extra spooky!<\/p>\n Costumes:<\/strong><\/span> Host a virtual costume contest for family, friends or school mates. Movie Night:\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>Embrace the gory, the scary the scream-worthy movies of October.<\/p>\n Food Fun:<\/strong><\/span> Creep out your kids with a classic Halloween party game, “Guess What It Is.” Place items in boxes with cut out spaces to insert hands. Write and or decorate what is in the box, such as brains or ears.\u00a0 Everyone writes down what they think is being used. Just the suggestion that the box is filled with eyeballs brings out the icky! Ewww!<\/p>\n Halloween doesn\u2019t have to be unhealthy. Treat your tricksters with creative Halloween-inspired snacks. Check out these cute…I mean scary… ideas.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Mini pumpkins.<\/strong><\/span> Peel clementines and insert a short celery stick into the top of each of them. So cute\u2026not scary!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Jack O\u2019 Lantern Fruit Bowls<\/strong>.<\/span> Using a sharp knife, cut off the top of a large orange. Scoop out the inside as carefully as possible (a grapefruit knife would be helpful). Then cut out the jack o\u2019 lantern face and the top in a diagonal pattern. Fill with any combination of fruit you like.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Ghostly bananas:<\/strong><\/span> Peel bananas and cut them straight across about three-quarters of the way down. Using a dab of nut butter, stick three chocolate chips onto each banana to make a ghostly face. These ghostly treats will quickly disappear!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Oozing brains:<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0Cut off the top of a pepper neatly and seed and core. Using a sharp knife, cut out the jack o\u2019 lantern face. Fill with pasta of your choice. The kids will be screaming!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n We hope you enjoy a fun and scary (in a good way) Halloween. Please continue to check out your area’s regulations regarding safe Trick or Treating. The CDC continues to encourage us all to keep safe distances from each other and to always wear a mask in public.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n <\/div>\n The kids will love these little “pumpkin” bites!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Fill up your little ghosts and goblins with this healthy soup.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n A creative use of a pepper!<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Halloween will be extra tricky this year.
