Trick – Or – Eating

by runeatrepeat on October 31, 2012

Happy Halloween!20121031 175609 800x600 thumb Trick – Or   Eating

Remember last weekend when Ben and I hit up the Goodwill for our costume supplies? No one guessed we were going to be…

The Tortoise and the Hare!IMG 8794 600x800 thumb Trick – Or   Eating

IMG 8795 600x800 thumb Trick – Or   Eating

After work I grabbed my costume supplies, picked up Ben from work and headed to my mom’s for trick-or-eating.

She made tortilla soup because she thought wanted to be healthy (and normally I kinda sorta do too). So, I had a small bowl…IMG 8797 800x600 thumb Trick – Or   Eating

But, my dad ordered pizza and that salad that is basically all meat. He got the salad for me because he’s nice and thought I wanted to be healthy and eat a salami salad. Thanks Pops.

I have been craving pizza since the Long Beach Mary so I enjoyed a piece (picked off the sausage because it’s not my thing).IMG 8804 800x600 thumb Trick – Or   Eating

And I  made Halloween Funfetti cookies. They were ‘well done’ and in this case that doesn’t mean ‘done well’.IMG 8800 800x600 thumb Trick – Or   Eating

After fueling up I went out trick-or-treating with Matt. He was the headless horseman. IMG 8806 600x800 thumb Trick – Or   Eating

And the tortoise wins!IMG 8810 800x600 thumb Trick – Or   Eating

Snickers is the most popular candy tonight! My mom says it’s because it was on sale.

Ben and I just had a big debate over what is better – your favorite candy or fresh cookies and milk.

What do you think – Cookies or Candy?

Cookies always! I can’t do really sweet stuff, especially when it’s fruit-flavored. I guess Hersheys bars are okay…

Candy. Hands down. My kids are asleep and I’m raiding their trick or treating bags as we speak. BTW I totally love your costumes! I might have to steal that one next year :)

Ooh that’s tough- but I think cookies and milk.

You are looking super skinny!

Cookies. 100% of the time. Unless there’s chocolate.

You two are adorable. And, you’re looking fab!!

Candy includes chocolate right?(I always get confused with it being only hard-candy, ha!) Anyway, chocolate wins. Chocolate ALWAYS wins! And, I absolutely can’t stand the taste of milk!

Cookies with milk for sure!!! Unless, you have ice cream then its ice cream with broken cookies on top! ;-)

Cookies and milk wins every time !! Cute outfit idea.

Cookies and milk because it lasts longer. :)

Cooooookies for sure!!!

Hard to say…if we’re comparing candy and store-bought cookies, then candy. If it’s homemade, from scratch out of the oven, then cookies.

17 Kristen @ Enjoy This Organic Life November 1, 2012 at 5:56 am

Hands down – homemade cookies!

Reply

18 Heather @ Run Eat Play November 1, 2012 at 6:15 am

Love your costumes! I’d say cookies with candy baked in – it’s too hard to pick just one.

Genius!

20 Amber K November 1, 2012 at 3:33 pm

Aha! Why didn’t I think of that?

21 Amanda @ Romancing the Unusual November 1, 2012 at 6:15 am

Fresh cookie and milk for sure!

Reply

22 Meghan P November 1, 2012 at 6:20 am

Fresh cookies with candy built in….Best of both worlds!

Reply

23 Kadye November 1, 2012 at 6:33 am

Why pick between the two when you can have both? Fresh baked cookies with candy pieces in the batter.

24 Stefanie November 1, 2012 at 6:44 am

That is a cute costume idea.

25 Kayla November 1, 2012 at 7:03 am

LOVE your costumes idea! So perfect!

Reply

26 Natalie @ Free Range Human November 1, 2012 at 7:13 am

That’s a tough one, but I think the answer is definitely cookies sans milk. I’m just not a fan of the white stuff!

Reply

27 Jade November 1, 2012 at 7:24 am

Candy is the best!!

28 Adrienne November 1, 2012 at 7:34 am

Great costume idea! I love it!

Considering that I had a bowl of candy that went wasted b/c NO trick or treaters came by, and I STILL had the urge to make chocolate chip cookies w/ milk last night, I’m going to say DEFINITELY cookies and milk!!!!

30 Nicole November 1, 2012 at 7:57 am

Cookies, warm out of the oven. No milk though.

I love candy but it depends on what kind of cookie it is too. LOL

Cookies OR Candy – that’s like asking a Mom to pick her favorite child!!! I guess I’d pick cookies…mmmmm.

It’s a tough toss up between candy and cookies/milk – what if the cookie has candy in it?

Sweet snacks are great, but I’m all about the salty snacks! Chips, pretzels, popcorn… bring it on!

41 Sienna November 1, 2012 at 10:29 am

haha I love that comment from your mom about eating a snickers so you don’t get cranky! I get a little cranky when I’m hungry too :)

42 Stephanie November 1, 2012 at 10:34 am

fresh cookies, hands down!

Fresh out of the oven cookies and ice cold milk! Good luck running the NYC Marathon, you’ll be great!!

While I love a good piece of candy, I’m going to have to go with cookies.

Reply

46 Suzanne November 1, 2012 at 1:23 pm

Cookies for sure! Although I will say I did make these sugar cookie bars last week that had M&Ms, chocolate chips and peanut butter chips in them and they were ah-mazing!

Cookies FTW!!

I think freshly baked cookies is infinitely better than candy. Unless… it’s freshly made homemade candy. NAH, I’m still going with cookies.
