It is that time of year again and all our little kids are a buzz about what they want to be for Halloween.  They also have visions for walking the neighborhoods, knocking on doors and squealing “Trick or Treat!”  We have some pretty great neighborhoods out there to visit on All Hallows Eve.  There there are also some pretty fun local events where you can safe trick or treat.

October 31st – Virginia City

C Street, Virginia City
After Parade

Kids in costumes are encouraged to trick or treat on the Comstock starting with a costume contest and parade sign-up at 4:30pm – 5pm, location TBD. Halloween entries are then invited to walk as the last parade entry before starting to trick or treat on C Street at participating merchants and saloons.

Visit VirginiaCity.org for more details.

If your still going to trick or treat the neighborhood, remember Trick or Treating starts at dusk and usually ends at 8:00 pm, but we usually have visitors until 9:00 pm.  If your done with the knocks at the door, blow out the candles in your pumpkins and put a sign on your door, “No More Candy.”

What to do with all that extra candy?  I like to save the candy that would look great on a ginger bread house.  You can donate the candy to troops stationed over seas.  Or you could make some delicious recipes with the left over Halloween candy.

Do you trick or treat a neighborhood or do you safe trick or treat?

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
