Last week I shared some real food strategies for dealing with Halloween Candy overload. Hopefully it gave you some hope to realize that you CAN still celebrate the season without feeding your kids (or yourself) a bunch of fake garbage.
I also promised you some yummy real food treats that you can make. And I’m here to make good on that promise. I’ve lined up some super YUMMY real food deliciousness in the form of candy, baked goods, and other desserts.
You may want to step back from your computer…. drool is bad for the keyboard. 😉
