Shoot Your Food

Halloween can be tricky but done right is a real treat! Weather your dressing up to go out or to stay in candy is always a nice addition to the equation. According to Forbes there is 10 most sought out candy from kids. Ranging from Reese's, Kit Kat's, Butterfingers, to Sour Patch Kids and Nerds. The least favorite is licorice, peanut butter taffy, and Tootsie rolls. When getting candy be sure to check it all first throw away anything that doesn't look right or is open. Parents won't have trouble looking at the candy in fact i'm sure they will even offer to taste test it for their children! Trick or treating should be about the treats and the dressing up so be safe out there.

What makes a dessert spooky? Well it depends on what you find as spooky. From ghosts, to pumpkins, to grave stones to spiders all these are spooky in their own way as they represent a very special holiday! Halloween has many things associated with it and these things can help be your inspiration for snacks, cupcakes, and other desserts. A spooky dessert doesn't even have to have blood and gore especially if you're catering to a younger crowd. Need more ideas?

I know most of you might prefer coffee or cider but the beverage I'm talking about today is hot chocolate! Hot chocolate comes in many different flavors and there's so much you can do with it! You can add marshmallows, peppermint pieces, and even cool whip on top! I definitely think there's plenty you can do with hot chocolate that makes it such a beautiful thing to take pictures of. There's also different flavors of hot chocolate like S'mores in the picture and Oreo also has it's own hot chocolate out! With cold weather it's nice to warm up no matter what hot beverage you prefer. Live on, Dream on, Eat on!                                                                                                           ...

Hiking is a great activity and now that it's getting cooler and the leaves are changing colors it's a great time to go enjoy the view! Water is necessary when ever your doing physical activity but what foods are? Everyone knows trail mix is a favorite for hiking. It usually contains dried fruit, nuts, and chocolate. Which are all really great! But you can also bring granola bars, jerky, seeds, pretzels, and other easy to snack on things! If you plan on stopping along the way or it's going to be a long hike be sure to pack a picnic. My favorite picnic food is fruit, cheese, and sandwiches. Happy Trails! Photo Credits
