0 Not Sweet Eats -Veggies, Fruit, and Salty Snacks for Halloween

Halloween brings with it a slew of party events for your family. Here are some fun, cute items for the snack table that won't crank your kid's insulin levels way up.  For more great ideas, check out Green Halloween for lots of earth friendly alternative ideas for Halloween Handouts.


Before you dismiss me as some health nut, or sugar buzz-kill, hear me out. Our kid has CVS (see previous post) and he's hypoglycemic. We want our kid to participate in general Americana Holidays, but would prefer to avoid buckets of barf and low-blood-sugar meltdowns.

Much like Valentine's Day and Easter, Halloween is a Hershy/Halmark Candy/Card conspiracy. And, as a result of aforementioned vomit and meltdowns, I am dreading Halloween a tiny bit.  But I'm looking forward to it too.  Let's face it -- these Holidays are fun! Halloween might be the most fun of all, especially if, like the Dean on Community, you have a storage unit full of weird shoes, Goth-get-ups, wigs, and costumes, um, like no one I know.

So boil an egg, cut up some apples, or buy some mini-pretzels when you set up your Halloween buffet.
