This is an update to my Halloween post from last year.

Sugar is Sugar. The body processes most sugars in the same way. But what is paired with said sugar makes the difference. Let’s make a commitment to provide some treats that also give back to our kids. Here are some recommendations you can find at your local health food store and online!

Gluten Free Mini Chocolate Chip Cookies
10-Pack :: $14.90 ::

Home Free Treats
I love Home Free Cookie Treats. They not only are allergy-free, but they are vegan meaning dairy and egg free, and they also have a delicious gluten-free line. Perfect for all the kiddies and grown ups with food allergies. I’ve had the vanilla, chocolate chip, and chocolate chocolate chip. I can’t tell the difference!

Gluten free mini chocolate chip single serve cookie packs (0.95 oz), box of 10 snack packs. Every pack contains 1/2 serving of whole grain, of the 3 daily recommended servings. And they come it other new flavors.

It is one of my favorite times of year again, the NY Coalition for Healthy School Food Fall Gala. I have been on the jr board for the Coalition for three years and served as the Catering Director for almost 5 years (I think). Just to tell you a bit about NYCHSF:

The New York Coalition for Healthy School Food (NYCHSF) is a statewide nonprofit that works to improve the health and well-being of New York’s students by advocating for healthy plant-based foods, including local and organic where possible, farm to school programs, school gardens, the elimination of unhealthy competitive foods in all areas of the school (not just the cafeteria), comprehensive nutrition policy, and education to create food- and health-literate students.

If you believe in changing the school food system, are a foodie, love gift bags, or all of the above, come out and support. Below is the invite with all the details. Click on the invite to purchase and register. Fashion, Food, and Fab people; you can’t lose. And I will even a few good nibbles for the event with some of the best in the vegan food game from my mentor Chef Fran Costigan, queen of vegan desserts and master chocolatier, Chef Laura Dardi, Chef Ella Nemcova of the Regal Vegan, and Candle 79 + over 15 other restaurants!
