My jack-o-lantern for this year, Happy Halloween!
…
Last year I shared my recipe for pumpkin muffins that use up the cut-out pieces of the jack-o-lantern. I’ve been making them since I was in Kindergarten, the recipe is actually courtesy of my Kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Blach. This year, I’ll share a recipe for toasted pumpkin seeds, another tradition around here. It wouldn’t be Halloween without them!
And in case you didn’t know, pumpkin seeds are really good for you. Don’t believe me? Read all about the 10 benefits of pumpkin seeds. And roasting them only makes them even better; by allowing them to keep the healthy oils that benefit us.
TOASTED PUMPKIN SEEDS
Ingredients:
- The seeds of one pumpkin, separated from stringy core and rinsed
- Salt
- Olive oil
Method:
- Preheat oven to 400°F. In a small saucepan, add the seeds to water, about 2 cups of water to every half cup of seeds. Add a half tablespoon of salt for every cup of water (more if you like your seeds saltier). Bring to a boil. Let simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and drain.
- Spread about a tablespoon of olive oil over the bottom of a roasting pan. Spread the seeds out over the roasting pan, all in one layer. Bake on the top rack until the seeds begin to brown, 10-20 minutes.
- When browned to your satisfaction, remove from the oven and let the pan cool on a rack. Let the seeds cool all the way down before eating. Either crack to remove the inner seed (a lot of work and in my opinion, unnecessary) or eat whole.
I hope you all have a safe & fun Halloween, & Dia de los Muertos. See you back here next month!

You can definitely see your enthusiasm in the work you write.
The sector hopes for even more passionate
writers such as you who aren’t afraid to mention how they believe.
All the time follow your heart.
I think everything said was very reasonable. But, what
about this? what if you added a little information?
I ain’t saying your information is not solid., but what if you added something that makes people desire more?
I mean CUPCAKE REHAB | est. 2007 is kinda plain. You should glance at Yahoo’s home page and
see how they create news titles to get people to click.
You might try adding a video or a picture or two to grab people interested about what you’ve written. Just my
opinion, it would make your website a little bit more interesting.
Its like you read my mind! You appear to know so much about this, like you wrote the book in it or something.
I think that you could do with a few pics to drive the message home
a bit, but instead of that, this is wonderful blog.
A fantastic read. I’ll definitely be back.

Hey would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re using?
I’m planning to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having
a difficult time choosing between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for
something completely unique. P.S Apologies for getting
off-topic but I had to ask!
Wow! Finally I got a blog from where I know how to really take
useful data concerning my study and knowledge.
The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.
Amazing! This blog looks just like my old one! It’s on a totally different topic but it has pretty much the
same layout and design. Outstanding choice of colors!
Marvelous, what a website it is! This website presents valuable facts to us, keep
it up.
This design is incredible! You most certainly know how to keep a reader entertained.
Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well,
almost…HaHa!) Great job. I really enjoyed what you had to say, and more than that, how you
presented it. Too cool!
I was able to find good information from your articles.
If you would like to obtain much from this post then you have to
apply such strategies to your won webpage.
I was curious if you ever considered changing the structure of your website?
Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a
little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better.
Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one
or two images. Maybe you could space it out better?
