Fall is here and so is the food!
By: Lindsey Clay and Lacey Urban
Fall is kicking summer out and it’s coming back in! Fall is bringing back all of our favorites, including the pumpkin spice latte from Starbucks! Pumpkin is stealing the spotlight once again. Our local coffee joints and ice cream shops are releasing their pumpkin Delicacies. Tim Hortons also has their famous Pumpkin Spice Latte out and it’s a hit. Dairy Queen has their appetizing Pumpkin Blizzards as well as Dairy Diamonds Pumpkin Milkshakes. After a long day at school go grab your pumpkin dessert. One thing that you should be eating this fall include some overnight oats. Canadians use overnight oats as a time saver that lasts for days in the fridge. Sweet and Salty Candied Pumpkin Seeds are another fall food that you can eat! These seeds are not just for harvesting from your jack o’lanterns, pumpkin seeds are being sprinkled on salads, mixed into granola bars and baked into bread. Poke is a Hawaiian fish dish that’s blooming with color. The fresh fish bowl has its roots in the pacific islands where raw fish is often enjoyed over rice or greens with add-ins like seaweed, green onions and soy sauce. Other fall foods you can try are apples, beets, brussels sprouts and cabbage, cranberries, pears, persimmons, pomegranates, pumpkins, rutabagas and turnips, squash and sweet potatoes.

With Homecoming coming up soon, homecoming groups and dates need a place to eat prior to the big dance. Whether it is a quick bite or a sit down dinner, everyone needs some food before they get down. Of course there are the usual places; fast food, roosters, canes, chipotle, etc. One high class steakhouse in Colmbus is called The Top, and it’s a very classy way to start the night off great. Other places to eat at that are less expensive and more realistic are:O’charley’s, Olive Garden, Texas Roadhouse, Fiesta Mariachi, Red Lobster, and Piada.

Better and Bitter Trick or Treats
By: Lindsey Clay
Halloween is the spooky time of the year. October 31st is the day of halloween but you may not be trick or treating that day. You may not even trick-or-treat, but you can hand out candy! The trick or treaters love candy especially Kit Kats, Starbursts, Twix, Pop Rocks, Butterfingers, Snickers, Nerds, Sour Patch Kids, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, and Crunch Bars. Candy that they do not like include Smarties, Raisins, pencils, Good and Plenty, Candy Corn, Dots, Now or Laters, hard candy, flavored tootsie rolls, and bubble gum. Lacey Urban said her favorite is butterfingers and her least favorite is raisins. Zach Kirk says, “every boy loves smarties.” Even if the studies show that kids think smarties are the worse, some people still love them! Then Hayley Urban agrees with the studies saying, “reese cups are definitely the best.” Overall many people like many different things. Halloween is a time where you can get dressed up as someone else and get free candy!
