Dreams "cornerview" and Menu #3 what to do with that Halloween Candy

When I think of the word Dreams the final words of the movie Pretty Woman pops into my head. "Hollywood, What's your dreams? Everyone has to have Dream." Funny how certain words trigger certain memories. Not having many dreams in the sense of dreaming these days, baby girl longest stretch of sleep is 4 hours. If anyone has any suggestions how I can get her to sleep longer I would appreciate it. The problem is she eats about 40% of her calories at night. Well, the good thing is I know this phase of life will not last forever and for that I am grateful. If I were to die today, I think I would be Ok with that because so many of my dreams have come true. I am truly blessed. It wasn't always that way, but at the moment I can say I have everything I ever wanted. What's your dream? To see more dreams around the globe you can visit Corner View.

So, don't know what to do with all that Halloween Candy? Around here, some of the local dentists will buy it off the children. Our PTA collected candy for the troops and I would say that about 50% of our candy went to support the troops, but we were still left with a ton of candy. Did you know you can freeze some candy like Snicker bars, Peanut Butter Cups, and so forth? Another idea is to use it in your baking. One idea is to replace the chocolate chips in cookies with chopped up Snicker bars.  I just made brownies for a colleague of my husbands who is flying in today from Italy. I just chopped up some Peanut Butter Cups and threw them in the batter. What were amazing brownies are now over the top brownies? I hope she likes them.
