I’m not crazy about refined sugar, but you probably already knew that didn’t you? High fructose corn syrup is even worse. And GMO soy? shudder
No wonder Halloween is so scary. The candy could kill you. {Look mom! I spy an overly dramatic statement.}
However… I love trick or treating. I went every year until I got married, wearing a ghostly sheet over my head to disguise my far-too-old face.
So how do I reconcile my desire to feed my family well with my love of going door to door begging for free-candy?
I don’t even try.
Here’s what we do: We eat good food, real food the rest of the day. Then we spend the evening feasting on candy.
After graphing it on a bar chart, of course. We are homeschoolers, you know.

The next morning, the leftover candy is gone, taken by the Candy Monster. In it’s place will be a new book, art supplies or some other such treat.
You know, the kind of treat that won’t kill you… Mwha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
Happy Halloween!
