It wasn't until I completed this blog post that I realized that my title, well... carried an unintended double meaning. 🧛🧟🧠
I'm not a hard-core fan of blood and gore when it comes to Halloween events (or reading material).
I am an enthusiastic fan of dinner parties, little trick-or-treaters, and costumes.
I try to set my deadlines (for books, not evil deeds) before or after October.
Why?
Because when I'm on deadline, I'm possessed- -I mean, obsessed. Forfeiting sleep, exercise, and nutrition, I claw my way to that moment and type "The End".
My meals consist of grazing foods that are high in protein, easy to prep, and tasty.
Single-serve (5 ounces) of nonfat cottage cheese. 3 grams more protein than a typical serving of Greek yogurt.
Hard-boiled egg. No longer shunned due to claims of too-high cholesterol, we can enjoy them in moderation. You can boil them yourself or purchase peeled and packaged at the market.
Peanut butter. Scoop your own or buy single packets; smear on banana or apple slices.
Roasted chickpeas (I love hummus and falafel). 120 cals per serving, 5 grams of protein and fiber.
To prep, rinse and drain chickpeas in a bowl, then toss with olive oil. Add chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Bake at 425 degrees for 45 minutes.
Greek yogurt
Turkey roll-ups. Nitrate-free deli turkey breast with a squirt os mustard, a slice of tomato, and some lettuce. Add red pepper slices and baby carrots. Roll and store in a plastic container or foil.
Hummus. Made from chickpeas, tahini, and olive oil, hummus is a healthy mix of protein and fiber. Use it as a dip for carrots, tomatoes, red pepper, and cucumber slices and String cheese.
Do you have a favorite "brain food"?
Or is Halloween all about "the candy and the treats "? 🍬🍫
