One mom implements her own Halloween candy 'buy back' plan

Instead of freaking out as I have mentioned in a previous post, I thought I would take on this candy problem in a different way. After a week of many candy meltdowns (pun intended), one resulting in a full stomach emptying vomit, I announced that I was buying back my ...

Butterfinger Fudge a quick treat for a busy holiday celebration

When my BFF Wendy and I were in Pittsburgh recently, we met some wonderful people. It's a good-sized city, but it definitely has a small-town friendliness. We were welcomed everywhere we went, even at Mike Feinberg's bustling souvenir shop pre-Steelers game. If you think we take football seriously here in ...

Hallowe'en truffles for grown-ups

We've all done it — we've all raided our kids' candy stashes after they've gone trick-or-treating for Halloween. We'd hang our heads in shame, but we're actually performing a mitzvah ("good deed") by saving our precious children's teeth from extra sugar and premature rotting. Be proud of your efforts! You've ...

Pumpkin-Raisin Muffins a festive treat for Halloween

Peggy Lampman's Thursday dinnerFeed I don’t like candy. There. I’ve said it. Halloween blasphemy, I know. But to my palate, candy’s not much more than cloying sweetness in every tooth-decaying bite. But before you cross my house off your kid’s trick-or-treat list, I’ve learned my lesson. I know that if ...

Around Halloween, I start to seriously freak out about my kids' health. Most parents seem to be perfectly comfortable with giving their kids sugar, fat and other related junk foods during the holidays. I get stressed. In fact, I go to houses where there are bowls of candy just sitting ...

We all do it, right? We buy candy to hand out to the cute little trick-or-treaters, but by the time Halloween night rolls around we've eaten a substantial amount of it ourselves. Kristine Hansen at Slashfood suggests that maybe it's time to stop feeling guilty about it. And if you're ...
