20+ vegan and gluten-free Halloween inspired recipes including candies, baked goods, and snacks. Mix and match to create the perfect spooky spread.
Friends, I can’t believe that I’m running my first marathon THIS WEEKEND.
Me. 26.2 miles. Chicago. Let’s go.
As I tend to do with big milestones, I find myself subconsciously dividing my life into two eras: pre-marathon and post-marathon.
Mostly, it’s a lot me saying in response to any given task, “I’ll get to it after the marathon”.
But that’s because my brain is full of the race map, carb-loading, running gear, and, oh, you know, SURVIVING it.
The longest I ran on my training plan was 20 miles, which felt challenging but doable.
They say that the last 6 miles is all *mental*; a comforting belief that I’m clinging to.
At least I won’t be running it alone!
My friend in Chicago will be joining me for the race.
And M will be there, too, meeting me at checkpoints so I can throw layers at him and chug electrolytes and dried fruit.
In the midst of planning and prepping for a long weekend in the windy city, it occurred to me that I don’t have a proper Halloween recipe round up on F&V.
So, instead of stressing about whether I will or will not return a marathoner (I will, I will!), I put together a fun mix of Halloween recipes for you.
This Halloween Recipe Round Up includes over 20 vegan and gluten-free Halloween inspired recipes including candies, baked goods, and snacks.
Mix and match them this year to create the perfect spooky spread!
