The Forbidden Fruit of Halloween

Halloween was a low key day for me this year. Gall bladder surgery will do that to you. I was stressed out knowing my doctor had forbid fat in my diet. No candy, no cupcakes, no sweets, NO FUN. So, I ignored him, as usual, and stuffed my face with Butterfingers and Baby Ruths.

Just kidding Dr. Orris.

Sugar Free Chocolate Pudding, Oreos, Mint Milano "tombstones"

I did, however, make semi-healthy and fun Halloween goodies that looked sinful, but were secretly almost totally sugar free/ fat free. Nobody knew. And more importantly, it saved me from telling copious amounts of lies to my doctor at our next appointment, telling him I had stuck to my diet.

Take out Pita Jungle (Grilled Veggie salad = drool worthy), gorgeous girlfriends, precious kiddie trick or treaters, and one red-eyed, hairy spider that dropped from the ceiling, scaring EVERYONE, meant a great Halloween for me.

Fat free cream cheese, ranch dressing packet, crushed reduced fat Cheez-Its, bell pepper "pumpkin stems".

 

Remember my Amy Winehouse costume last year?! HAHA. Ridiculous. Scary how I could turn into a crack head so easily....What does this say about me, really?

I hope you all had a great holiday....I'm counting down the days until Thanksgiving! No unappetizing, dry turkey on my plate though...Brown sugar, slow roasted, spiral cut ham all the way!
