Happy Halloween! I’m sure most everyone celebrated over the weekend, but why not stretch the fun into the week, right? We have a big afternoon/evening planned with attending our first neighborhood family Halloween party.
It’s official. I’m old. 😉
But I can’t wait to show off my little candy corn!
I must give Hailey’s Mema a lot of credit because she MADE this adorable costume after I showed her the one I saw on Pinterest. I absolutely love it and don’t think I’ve ever seen a cuter candy corn- thanks Mema!
Now let’s talk treats. My favorite treat I enjoyed over the weekend?
Why, that’s easy.
A GEORGIA VICTORY!!
Treats are even sweeter when you rarely get them 😉
GO DAWGS!
Now, as far as edible treats, I enjoy a Reese’s every now and then, but my favorite treat comes much more in the form of a delicious meal, which is exactly what we had at Toast in Davidson.
I know I talk about it all the time, but I love Davidson, and though I’ve enjoyed many breakfasts and lunches at Toast, we had never tried it for dinner.
I started off with my favorite- Blue Moon!
We perused the menu while snacking on the complimentary warm, fresh bread, served with a delicious soft butter that tasted like it had honey and rosemary in it. Remind me to try and recreate this. YUM.
Toast is a place where ever. single. thing. on the menu sounds delicious, but we finally narrowed it down. We split a bowl of French Onion soup.
I savored the warm, flavor-packed broth and Hubbs devoured the melty gruyere and mozzarella cheese.
For my main, I ordered an appetizer – Butternut Squash Ravioli.
Another YUM! It was packed with flavor thanks to the goat cheese and cranberries. I also noticed how pretty it was- what a great fall dish!
Hubbs ordered the bistro burger, and I was clearly too enthralled with my ravioli to focus on taking a decent picture.
This burger was quite decadent and topped with bacon and brie. A burger like this makes for a happy Hubbs 🙂
As always, Toast never disappoints.
Now, one last thought to stay with the TREAT theme?
Lululemon.
I loved reading every comment on Friday’s Fitness Fashion post– so thank you all for your thoughts! After reading through it all I gathered that Lululemon isn’t necessary, but that it may be a fun treat.
So, that’s what I’m saving it for. Once I get back into working out the way I want to be, I’ll reward myself with a Lululemon piece to see for myself what I think. I’m leaning towards yoga pants.
What was the best Halloween costume you saw this weekend?
I’m not sure what my favorite costume was, but I can show you the best carved pumpkin I saw…
Gina @ Running to the Kitchen says
Aw, Hailey is so cute in that costume 🙂 I don’t even like candy corn but that one is adorable! Happy Halloween.
Holly @ The Runny Egg says
I saw a picture of that hamburger pumpkin on facebook — that thing is awesome!
Blue Moon is usually my first choice of beer too – I think it tastes so good with so many foods.
And you can totally make that rosemary/honey butter — I love flavored butter (we make roasted garlic butter sometimes and it tastes amazing on toast).

Cait @ beyond bananas says
Hailey might be the cutest piece of candy corn that I’ve ever seen!!!
Jamie @ FoodinRealLife says
Looks like a great meal! But I can assure you that I would be the one eating the cheese off that onion soup if I split it with my husband!
Caitlin says
So much about this post that I want to comment on! That pumpkin is AWESOME. I will have to share that photo with some burger loving friends. Your little candy corn is so so so cute. I cannot get enough of babies in Halloween costumes! And that food at Toast looks amazing. I don’t like French Onion Soup but the photo you took makes me want some. And that bread and butter – gah!!
Jess@atasteofconfidence says

I love Hailey in her adorable candy corn costume! I want my guy to be a piece of candy corn next year, too. 🙂
Saving Lululemon for a treat is an awesome idea!

And I think I am going to have to make some sort of meal inspired off that ravioli dish… all my favorite things in one meal!!
Autumn@Good Eats Girl says
Cute, cute, cute costume! I’m old too…I’d rather spend Halloween watching little ones get the joy out of it! 🙂
blackhuff says
I also love that costume your little one have worn for Halloween. So cute.
Sarah says
Butternut squash ravioli looks to die for! Im glad your starting to be able to get out more.
And oh my gosh her costume is the cutest thing ever!
Such a cute costume idea. I love people who think outside of the box when it comes to costume ideas.
p.s. pretty sure i have that same dress from middle school haha.
I know this may be semi rude to ask (maybe) but ive been reading your blog from the begining and find you to be so inspirational. I recently caught the blogging bug and started my own. Except… i have no readers. Id feel honored if you would maybe give my lil blog a shot out on one of your posts? If not i understand, but it never hearts to ask right??
Brittney says
Hailey is too cute! I LOVE the idea of that ravioli! I get stuck in a rut when it comes to sauce for butternut squash ravioli- it’s always some kind of cinnamony/maple syrupy sauce, but this is cranberry and goat cheese is a fantastic idea!
Ana says
Oh my, Haley is adorable in that candy corn costume!
And I love that pumpkin!!!!
