So without further ado, let me welcome my friend Bernadette, who's going to talk about

healthy living, healthy Halloween treats. Sorry. And I think we're going to, I'm also going to include some Halloween stories that I had

And no judgments here. But, and maybe I can even share some costumes that I did

I had years ago. I mean, I don't have them in front of me, but I do, I can enlighten you with them

So without further ado, Let's welcome, Bernadette. Hello! Hey, Brenda, how are you

Hi, I'm very well. I'm from Austria, and I'm totally thrilled about the topic

because we in Austria actually don't have like Halloween, Halloween. But when I was in Obear in America, we had Halloween

And this was crazy and I liked it. Yeah, so do I

So before we dive into the healthy treats, what should people look for when they're looking for healthy Halloween treats

Do they make some homemade ones or do they find stuff at a store

I brought a couple of treatments with me. and I was like, when you want to invite me, I was like, oh, in America, I'm not quite sure if you have it, but we in Austria, and I just give you a couple of different tips and maybe you can also find the treats in America as well. On one side, and I don't, let's make it in a different way. Imagine you are a child and you have Halloween and you are coming with your pillow and you just say, trick and treat

What do you expect when you're coming to a house? Is it actually always like treats like sugar and all the things

Or maybe you also can find something else, either something homemade or something, I don't know

And either what I suggest would be truly healthy. And I'm not quite sure if children like it, but you can use it fruits

make a fun out of it. You can make a face on it like what we know with the pumpkin

that we make a face on it or something like else, that it's a little bit more interesting for children

But what I see with my nieces, when you have tried food

they like it. They like it a lot. I have it here. I have dried food here

I don't know what you can see. Like these are dried strawberries orï¿

or dried bananas or something like this one. It's also easier to carry in your pillow

And there's other things, and I know that children truly like them

These are like nuts, different nuts, like a range of different nuts

And you also can make it either you can make out of all these healthy things

like a musli bars. I hope the English word is musli as well, I think, isn't it

Yeah. Yeah. Or you make a muffin out of it with organic nuts and all the things in there

Or you also can, and this is my top favorite, and finally because today I'm in Vienna

I found it in my favorite job as well. These are raw cacao beans

Children like it. Yes, they like it. And I pretty sure either on a trader or any other organic store in America Pretty sure you buy something like this one It sweet but there is no sugar in it nothing

And this is so interesting because you still have the chocolate taste

what we actually know, but it's not that sweet at all. And if you wanna take something else

homemade things are always easy to make sugar-free. Or you choose an alternative sugar

This is still a little bit more better. I don't know, the English word for a retreat

but there are different alternative sugar things, what you can use also for baking

And when you want to support children, choose wisely, even on Halloween

what do you want to give them? I remember when I was back then on the Halloween trip

and just get all my treats from all the houses. We had tons of chocolate, tons of sugar-loaded things, candies

And this was like I was hyper the whole day because, of course, I also want to have my own chocolate

Yes. And I was like, back that it was like kind of normal

But when I look on it like a nutrition trainer today, I was like, whoa, how can we eat all

the things. And I'm pretty sure everybody knows you don't want to stop with it till it's over

So we eat every single day something. And when you truly want to do something good for your kids

just give them dry fruits or dry veggies. They're really, really good. They're still sweet

Nutses, seeds, or even the raw, the chocolate beans and all the things

And these are small treats but still good treats. Or homemade cakes

Carrot cake is sweet. You don't even need any ice sugar or anything is on it

It's naturally sweet. And this is what you can support and nurture the children who are coming to you

And also, of course, yours. Well, I even got a few tips

I don't have any in front of me at the moment. I mean, because I ran out. Ooh

Shh. If anybody has ever gone to a GNC store, there's Quest bars

Some of them, some of them I don't really like, but a few of them I like, like the cookies and cream ones

I like. There's this chocolate raspberry one, I think, and a white chocolate raspberry one

It's really good. I had some other ones. And there was this, like this waffle one

but I didn't like this one. I mean, it was an actual waffle, but it was like

it's like some kind of honey syrup or something in it. And I didn't like it because it was so sticky

And it's like, yeah, time when I get this out of the package, I really don't want it anymore

And then, but. But I'm not saying they're like, they're sort of healthy

because it has protein in it. And but I mean, you got to watch for some of the mixture

additives in it and make sure that's not full sugar. But they're a pretty good alternative, in my opinion

when you're looking for something sweet where you're like, I don't want to eat candy, but I do want something at least

something sweet. And so it's still a pretty good choice for me anyway because sometimes I still have that

sweet tooth, but I don't want to, hey, you want to let me go eat two pieces of chocolate

I'm trying to, I've been staying away from chocolate since I got my teeth whitened years ago

I'm not spending 500. I'm not screwing up 500 dollars where the teeth work, sorry

No. There are other things. I'm pretty sure you also get in America, organic gummy bear. Do you know, gummi bears

Sweet things. Gummy bears and all the things? Yeah. There are already organic sugar-free ones, a way level, pretty sure also in America

And if you're looking for recipes, because a lot of people asking me for recipes, also for pumpkin muffins and older things, go to Pinterest

Pinterest have really, really good recipes and also with sugar-free and also maybe it's also

necessary for lacto-free or gluten-free because nowadays all those topics has to be also considered

and they are still good. There are still really, really good recipes there where you can nurture

the children and what also children are eating. And there are also veggies. What I found when I was in

America, we stop and shop, you could buy the small carrots for snacking and all the things

And that's something what they also, because they're yellow, like Halloween is in the orange

in the orange field. And this are small orange ones. And if you want to do, you can put on like a little phase or something like that

So maybe that for the children, it's more funnier. That's great. Well, do you have any Halloween stories you like to share

You know, all the bad stories now? It's so interesting because I loved in America Halloween

When all the houses are decorated and everything else, what you can also, the costumes and all the things

Back then, I love to be, you know, the witch. And also with the pumpkin, I had a weird hat on it

like the cat with the hat thing. And also all the other

all other friends and opier friends, we just liked it. And when we had all the treats, I had to fight with my boys

where I took care of in America to get treats. We are like fighting

And I'm like, I'm your, I'm your au pair. I get my part of it

We fight it together to get the treats. And I was like, I want to have them too

And it's so interesting in Austria, it becomes more and more common

of course that's not so huge than in America but you see more and more like pumpkins

pumpkins cut out and there is also the light in there different ones and also you get some kind of costumes

because we have like kind of Halloween more in February in the Fashing time where everybody is dressed up

and there's still Halloween is coming to us And I truly missed the time because when we, when we back then went out and everybody was in costumes

there were so cool costumes to children had. And also when, like when you wear trick and treat and when when you didn't, when you didn't got any treat

then they were really, really weird tricks are coming up. And I was like, this is so interesting

I just like it. And the whole the whole weird very nice weather back then and when you see all the lights it just beautiful I just like it But we don have so much Halloween here So my weirdest Halloween I only had truly in America

Well, for me, my neighborhood, we had a lot of different Halloween parties

And, but I remember if, like, we always, each house, they always had some kind of

there is I think each year each one got scarier and scary each and every single year

I didn't know if that was possible but like I know from my house I think like we used to send decorations year and year out but there was other people in the neighborhood where they just like they went the full extra mile and they're like we're going to do some I don't know some creepy smoke

and we're gonna, like, I don't know, some creepy hand in the bowl

And finger food or like finger food? And so, but one of the things I, when I was living in New Jersey when I was growing up

if I moved to Pennsylvania, I used to use just a bag to get candy

Well, when back in, when I moved to Pennsylvania, one of my friends taught me is like

you know how to get more candy in a bag and it's like how he's like use a pillowcase and so i

started using pillowcases and like a very old pillowcase and i had um it's like this high full of

candy and i was like i don't think i ever want to eat a piece of candy again because i got

so full of candy and everything and uh You know, I think, and then like later on in the year, over the years, we stayed out late

We went to houses. And one of my, me and my friends, we used to, you know, like some of those houses that says leave one

Or I mean, take one piece of candy and that's it. Well, we never liked the sign

So we just took the, we moved the sign and just dumped the rest of the. candy in our bags, splitting up the months of the three or four of us that were there

And I was like, I know looking back at it is now, it's not the best thing to do and it wasn't

polite, but we just wanted all the candy. But let's face it, who takes only one candy

Huh? No, we neither. Exactly. Take one? What? Well, I'm doing them a favorite

They don't want the candy. They don't want leftover candy, so. So who comes first and who gets all the candies thing

Exactly. Who takes one candy? But, I mean, when I was going out to trick-or-treating

I used to dress up as a vampire. Or I used to dress up as a vampire

I used to dress up as the grim reaper. I'm not sure why

Okay. That's what I like the most. There are so many cool costumes

that what you can find in America for Halloween. And I always like the witch, but sometimes

I have to come back to America only because of Halloween, only to dress up and just be spooky a little bit

and get the treats and fight with the children to get the treats

And I'm, yeah, once a year, just only for Halloween coming to America and fight with the children

for the treatments, for the treats. Oh, I think one of the costumes I had, there was this mess that had this, like, heart filled

this fake blood, and so when he squeezed it, the blood was just dripping down space

That's not as creepy as, but there's this one. mask that my brother used to have. Oh, it was the creepiest mask ever. It was like an evil clown mask

And I was like, oh, geez, this thing makes the Chucky doll look nicer and much sweeter. This thing is just evil-ish-looking

It looked, oh, it looks. Sometimes it still gives me nightmares just thinking about my head because I can, my brain is like literally

can we play different scenes in the back of my mind when I'm sleeping

And I was like, and sometimes that mask comes into view. It's like, oh, I remember if I'm like

it had like hair out of sideways here and a crooked cap

and a smile. Not even smile, just like a evil grin and everything

Nah. I hate it. Do you have in America now, like, what's in for Halloween this year

I'm not even sure. I haven't even seen any Halloween commercials on TV, which is strange

Oh, that's truly strange. How come? Don't tell me because of COVID-19

Don't tell me because of that. I don't know what it is

It's like, like, at Star Party City, I don't even know. none of it still exists

I was like, I used to see so many commercials on TV as I get ready for Halloween and everything

I don't think I've seen one commercial. Sure, I didn't really watch TV much during the day

or I didn't even watch TV during the day or at night anymore except for the weekends

but even still I thought maybe, okay, even when my parents are watching TV

I think wouldn't there be some kind of Halloween commercial on this TV somewhere, but I haven't seen anything

And my parents, they used to get like a lot of flyers from a bunch of different stores

Not even anything Halloweenish either. What, did we just skip over Halloween now

I see all these Christmas decorations out already. Come on. What happened to Thanksgiving and Halloween

Yes. We're just going to skip holidays. or we will see it

We will see this year we have Halloween on a Sunday. So we will see definitely what will come up

and what will be in. But again, it's truly take tried food

Children truly love it. Or veggies or also fruits, nutses. Or my favorite, truly favorite

is the cacao bean, cocoa bean, or even or even the biological or organic gummy beer

And yes, you can make them on your own, but I'm pretty sure that you have in America's stores

We also can buy it. I'll definitely have to take a look to find them

because I'm always looking for my health and I always looking for ideas And I appreciate that you could do this special Halloween episode with us because hey

Halloween comes once a year. Yes. And I definitely have to come to America only because of Halloween one day

I can just picture you come around a plane like every single year just come just for candy

Yes. And also dressed up already like Ellen or something like that

I want to have a Halloween in America. Or the creepy clown mask

No, that's not, that's not mine. More witch. We're coming with with the brush

Are you sure? I don't think I even have that mask anymore, but

Hopefully not. Just get him another one. Wear yourself. If I do, I'm burning it

I think I think it's got people for life Jimmy I'm looking forward

for this year for your Halloween costume you have to share it on social media

I don't think I'm going to have a custom this year because I don't

because I'm moving what about just celebrate before that's a little bit

that's boring before it's boring afterwards it's like Yeah. We have to wait for Christmas to get dressed again

Chica just get dressed up for Thanksgiving. Yeah, for Thanksgiving, exactly. Big turkey
