My husband and I took our 6 year old and 4 year old trick or treating in a friend's city neighborhood, where you knock on brownstone after brownstone, so needless to say, they cleaned up. We could have used a crane to load the plastic jack-o-lantern baskets into the car.
Today, however, their stashes are mysteriously ... lighter. Hmm. Wonder how that happened? Truth be told the garbage man will notice the trash bags are considerably heavier at pickup this week. Yes, I'm one of those moms that tosses candy. Out of sight, out of mind, for me as well as my already hyper kids.
But not all moms are candy tossing fanatics like me.

Halloween is almost here! Are you ready for all the trick-or-treaters to come tomorrow?
When I was little, I used to dread Halloween each year—first, because I hated the homemade costumes my mom would always make for my sister and I. And, second, because it embarrassed me that we were the only house that handed out healthy treats (raisins and granola bars).
I wanted a plastic-y store-bought costume! I wanted to give trick-or-treaters giant Hershey bars bigger than my head!

Kids love Mummy Dogs for Halloween, so why not Mummy Pizzas? These are made with pizza dough (I'd use English Muffins), sauce, string cheese, and black olives. Visit Kara's Kitchen Creations for the easy how-to.
Do you prefer Mummy Dogs or Mummy Pizzas?

Not all Halloween treats have to rot our kids' teeth. Pennies on a Platter has instructions for how to carve oranges into cute, little "Snack-O-Lanterns." Fill 'em up with fruit salad for a sweet treat of the natural variety.
What's your family's favorite healthy Halloween recipe?
