Big Kid Halloween Party
Halloween is really for adults.
It was fun when we were kids, but come on.
Being an adult on Halloween is the best. You still get to dress up and eat candy, but now you get to do it with Witches Brew (otherwise known as apple cider sangria).

Strange But Good Halloween Recipes
This post might be too obvious.
But I have no shame.
Halloween is the perfect #strangebutgood holiday. What’s more odd than dressing up in costumes and going door to door begging for candy?
In honor of All Hallows Eve, I bring you an appropriately fall-themed recipe collection.

Pumpkin Quinoa Chia Pudding [Recipe]
Strangely enough, it does rain in San Diego.
Especially when I make something pretty that I need sunlight to take pics of.
Chia pudding, pumpkin… none of that is strange. Adding quinoa to the mix may be a little odd, but it is quite good! (As is the occasional rain.)
Our anti-inflammatory diet experiment had led to a lot of creativity. Since we are grain-free, I’ve been using sweet potato and quinoa as our main carbs. Vegas claims to not like quinoa, so naturally I’ve been sneaking it into everything. Like this pumpkin pie-inspired breakfast.

Peanut Butter Marshmallow Pancake Recipe
Waffles distract me.
Ohhhhh…. sparkles!
If I’m honest, lots of things distract me. Having a new toy is just an enabler. I went on a waffle bender. However, getting new supplements from Cellucor brought be mack to an old favorite: protein pancakes. Something about that Peanut Butter Marshmallow protein powder flavor screamed for fluffy pancakes.
These did not disappoint. Peanut butter marshmallows should be a thing. They probably are… I’d be shocked if Target didn’t have them. That place is a black hole for my wallet. Much like Whole Paycheck Foods. See what I mean about distraction?

Strange But Good Halloween Recipes
If there’s ever a time to let your freak-flag fly*, it’s Halloween.
*Assuming you ever bother to hide it.
This Halloween I’m letting my flag fly in full-on Rocky Horror fashion. Complete with a costume I cannot believe I’m actually going to leave the house in.
In lieu of a new recipe this week, I thought it appropriate to round up some of my favorite not-so-normal recipes. Translation: I got busy and haven’t taken pics of anything I’ve made. Or made much, for that matter.
1. Roasted Pumpkin
Pumpkin itself isn’t all that strange, but I’m willing to bet most of you have never roasted your own. They’re delicious – 100x better than the canned stuff. I don’t do it all the time… because patience… but you owe it to yourself to do it at least once this fall.

Halloween Wednesday
Halloween is one of my favorite holidays.
It’s the only holiday not masquerading as a religious or national holiday.
There’s something in the air this time of year. It’s exciting – they weather is nice, people are energetic (it’s a massive relief from the Southern summer heat and humidity)… and who doesn’t like to pretend to be someone else?
The “yard art” along the Beltline is even dressed up for Halloween!
The family dog, Honey, is also festive. My little sister brought her by my office for a visit yesterday. My socks matched her candy corn handkerchief.
Can you believe she’s 13?! Cutest Corgi-Golden “puppy” ever.
