Wow, can you believe it? Halloween is already here! Are you ready to dive into the festivities?
Make sure you’re all set with comfy shoes and your favorite hoodie. Don’t forget those extra candy bags, flashlights, and batteries! And maybe grab some Tums for when you inevitably overindulge in those delicious Reese’s! Everything looks like it’s in place for a super fun and Happy Halloween!
As we gear up for all the Hallo-fun, let’s remember to stay safe, especially if you’re out on the roads after 6 p.m. on Friday. Kids will be buzzing with energy, and they might not be paying the best attention. They’ll definitely need our watchful eyes, and let’s be real — sometimes adults can get a bit caught up in the excitement, too!
While everyone wants to enjoy the spookiest night of the year, safety is our top priority for both trick-or-treaters and their adults. With Halloween falling on a Friday this year, things could get a little more chaotic. So, let’s all be good people and neighbors and keep an extra eye out!
I know getting the little ones to focus on dinner before heading out can be a challenge. That’s why I’m here with a quick and easy dinner idea that you can whip up in literally 15 minutes or less! This way, everyone can have a filling meal before diving into their candy treasure.
Just grab some Texas toast and pop it in the oven at 450° for about 5 minutes or whatever the box says. Then, take it out and top it with pizza sauce (from a jar or can obviously), pepperoni, and cheese. Back into the oven they go for another 5 minutes or until everything is melty, and voila! You’ve got awesome personal pizzas ready to fuel their Halloween adventures. Trust me, both you and the kids will be thrilled!
And remember, Halloween celebrations are just getting started and will carry on throughout the weekend. With ride-sharing options like Uber and Lyft, there’s no reason not to have a safe way to get home. Enjoy the festivities, but always keep safety as your number one priority. We can’t wait to see you back next year for even more Halloween fun!
