not just nourishment: HALLOWEEN food fun

RER 10.30.14

In lieu of foodie ventures Halloween Wars, I put my kiddies to work during my Food Fun Activity at the school where I work. Like that one time I subbed last year, I made far too many cupcakes the night before and purchased far too much candy. But yesterday, it was all about Halloween. So instead of gushy red candies and jelly hearts, I brought in some creepy crawlers, fall favorite Candy Corn, marshmallow Peeps shaped like cute ghosts and cheery Jack-O-Lanterns, and good old M&Ms. I also went out on a limb and bought some frosting inspired by the spooky holiday. The orange variety was obnoxiously orange and the purple was just not a color that exists in nature. Over all, it was a sweet time! Too much fun and probably, too much candy (if that’s a thing).

not just nourishment: FOOD FUN

Sometimes I am lucky and get to sub classes at the school I work with. Every single time I have a blast. Usually, I help out with middle school gym classes, but I have been known to cover a high school French class or two. Just the other day I covered the Food Fun after school activity, and it was far too much fun. I had been planning and anticipating the forty-five minute period for weeks, and could not contain my excitement the night before. In honor of Valentine’s Day, I planned my food activity around one of the sweetest holidays. I hunted far and wide for the best pink and red candies to top our cupcakes, and I spent too much time deciding what kind of frosting to buy. The night before, I made a ton of chocolate and vanilla cupcakes, and we decorated them during the after school activity. In the end, it was super fun. We all got intense sugar highs and played games while chomping on cupcakes and candy.
