I don’t know why, but we always have donuts with our chili for Halloween dinner. I can’t figure out how a sweet pastry was paired up with a bowl of hot chili, especially since the kids leave for trick or treating not long after anyway!

For the last month, I cannot stop eating junk! I crave chocolate at all hours of the day, salivate at the mere thought of doughnuts, and rifle through my purse in the desperate hope of finding forgotten mints from some long-ago dinner out.

I’m normally a pretty healthy eater (I usually crave apples or celery), so this is really weird for me. What’s going on? Has anyone else dealt with this?
