If you love the idea of celebrating holidays with food, Halloween is a great time to practice your creative skills! With the latest trend of charcuterie boards, you can use this concept for a CharBOOterie board with cheeses, meats, dried fruits, nuts, olives, and chocolates. If you are looking to get festive with your dinner menu, try incorporating some fall foods and flavors such as pumpkin, apples, or winter squash into your menu. Experimenting with fall herbs and spices such as cinnamon, cumin, or ginger is another way to embrace the season. You can enjoy a healthy balanced meal and add some fun snacks and appetizers as well. You may enjoy finding some new traditions this season such as Halloween-themed recipes you can make with the whole family.

A healthy attention span and ability to focus may be characterized by higher levels of productivity, good listening skills, and a strong orientation to detail. Lacking attention and focus, however, may look more like forgetfulness, difficulty retaining information as it’s being heard/read, or difficulty prioritizing/completing tasks. Since our abilities to pay attention and direct our focus can be influenced by biological, environmental, emotional factors, and beyond, there are many things we can do to improve them.
