WIAW, Happy Halloween
Hey! Happy Halloween! I’m hoping to make it to a big party after work today. Do you have big plans or staying home for trick or treaters?
When I was little, my sister and I would come home from trick or treating and spill our candy out on the floor, carefully sorting it into categories- by brands (m&ms, twix, etc), misc chocolate, misc non chocolate, and then a pile of the ones we didn’t like (usually the smarties and sweet tarts). Did you do this too? I remember eating 4 or 5 candies that night and then just one or two every day after that, saving the rest so my candy would last until almost Thanksgiving. My favorites were the twix and reeses….now I think I’d choose m&ms any day. You?
Okay, on to What I Ate Wednesday
These are my eats from Tuesday….
Breakfast started with a smoothie and coffee. The farmers market still has berries so I snacked on some blackberries and raspberries while the blender did its thing.
An hour or two later, I ate a hb egg and more coffee for second breakfast/snack./strong>
I had a work lunch at an Italian restaurant. The menu wasn’t great, but I got a tuna panini (skipped the bread though) with a salad.
Afternoon snack was a (big) handful of trail mix.
I ate dinner at my parent’s house. I wasn’t that hungry, but I had fish, salad, and an apple. the apple was the best part- perfectly ripe and sweet.
And then, couldn’t resist my parent’s freezer assortment and ate some coconut hazelnut ice cream and peach sorbet. Yum!
The best thing I ate? Def the ice cream. And the apple.
–What’s the best thing you ate yesterday?
–Halloween plans?
–Favorite childhood costume or candy?

October 31, 2012 at 6:44 am (203 days ago)Mmm coconut hazelnut ice cream sounds so good! I love butterfingers and baby ruths — I’ve been snacking on the leftovers (trick or treating was Sunday) all week!
Rebecca
October 31, 2012 at 10:05 am (203 days ago)Omg, I forgot about butterfingers, I used to love those too!

October 31, 2012 at 7:00 am (203 days ago)Omg, I would do the same thing! Carefully sort out all of my candy on Halloween night. My brother would get all my Milky Ways, and I would take all his Skittles. Too funny! I miss being a kid :-/ Yummy ice cream! I wish I was gonna be home tonight for the trick-or-treaters but unfortunately I have class till late. My roommate gets to have all the fun handing out candy!
Rebecca
October 31, 2012 at 10:04 am (203 days ago)That’s neat you guys get trick-or-treaters…I’ve never lived anywhere (besides my parents’ house) where we get any….I guess that’s the prob with city apt living
kelsey @ somuchlifetolive
October 31, 2012 at 7:23 am (203 days ago)I love getting fresh produce from a farmer’s market and blending it up into a smoothie!
Favorite childhood candy were those candy bracelets. Remember those? You eat them off your wrist while you wear them, and then end up with a food-color-dyed arm. Haha!
Rebecca
October 31, 2012 at 10:03 am (203 days ago)Oh yeah! I forgot about those! I used to try to wear them to school and then sneak some bites of my necklace during class…ha. The teacher always made me take it off asap
Alex @ therunwithin
October 31, 2012 at 7:58 am (203 days ago)I have yet to try that coconut bliss ice cream. looks good though. i used to trade all my chocolate candy for my sister’s chewy candy, I hate chocolate and she loves it. best trade ever!
Rebecca
October 31, 2012 at 10:03 am (203 days ago)That sounds like a win-win for both of you!! And I wish my sister did that…she kept allt he chocolate for herself ha
Theresa @ aspoonfulofsunshine
October 31, 2012 at 8:15 am (203 days ago)Ah that Chocolate Hazelnut Ice Cream sounds divine! I’m going out with some friends tonight dressed up at Captain Underpants and planning to drink tons of pumpkin beer
Rebecca
October 31, 2012 at 10:02 am (203 days ago)Captain Underpants is a great costume!!! Have fun!
Apples and Arteries
October 31, 2012 at 11:25 am (203 days ago)My homemade granola was my best eat yesterday.
My brother and I used to do a candy swap. And now my niece and nephew like to tell me how many pounds of candy they got during trick or treating!
Natalie @ Free Range Human
October 31, 2012 at 11:25 am (203 days ago)Oh no, my friend, you cannot go wrong with Reeses. Although I’ve recently discovered that peanut butter M&Ms are genius!

October 31, 2012 at 5:05 pm (203 days ago)Everything looks amazing Rebecca! And when is it possible to have a small handful of trail mix?;)

October 31, 2012 at 6:02 pm (203 days ago)Yum. I would totally pick the ice cream too. Especially that chocolate coconut bliss. Looks marvelous– I don’t care if it’s only 30 degrees outside! Ice cream is delicious no matter what the season!
My Halloween plans included watching Batman Returns tonight with a group of friends, but sadly no candy is involved.
Luv What You Do
October 31, 2012 at 7:29 pm (203 days ago)I had a few bites of the BOY’s pumpkin pie blizzard tonight…A-MA-ZING! I didn’t get home in time to see any trick or treaters but we had quite the party at work : )
Rebecca
November 1, 2012 at 7:13 am (202 days ago)Fun! And pumpkin pie blizzard does sound amazing!

October 31, 2012 at 8:52 pm (202 days ago)Oh that ice cream mix sounds delicious!!
The best thing I’ve eaten this week?: Hmm, tough one.. right now i’m really enjoying my breakfast. Gnocchi cooked in cinnamon & vanilla extract combined with a mashed potato & peanut butter.
Rebecca
November 1, 2012 at 7:14 am (202 days ago)Wow, that sounds like an incredible combo!
jessielovestorun
November 1, 2012 at 7:47 pm (201 days ago)Oh it was girl!!
Change of Pace
November 1, 2012 at 7:13 am (202 days ago)Yummy day! The best thing I ate all day was definitely the chocolate I was handing out.
My sis and I used to separate our candy the same way! But, I wasn’t as good about eating it slowly!
AnnaTheApple
November 1, 2012 at 1:28 pm (202 days ago)I always preferred the lollies! Especially the strawberry flavoured ones. I’d probably tryto eat it all in one evening and feel incredibly sick. I never had the will power to make it last hehe.

November 2, 2012 at 10:41 am (201 days ago)My brother and I would do the same thing with our Halloween candy and we would trade each other! Haha – sometimes I miss that. Hope you have a great weekend!

November 2, 2012 at 6:44 pm (201 days ago)Good call; I love ice cream especially on a hot day.
Much like you, I always separated my Halloween candy by type. The sugar stuff was my favorite though.
