Pumpkin Seeds

So, is everybody roasting pumpkin seeds right now?

The great thing about having young children is that their enthusiasm about something that happens every year seems to still excite them. In fact, it seems that even if it's something that happened last week, they would be excited about doing again.


Take pumpkin picking. Or pumpkin carving.


And what to do with all the pumpkin seeds left over from all these activities? Besides saving some for next year's planting, we roasted them with a little olive oil, salt and pepper. The fragrant of roasted pumpkin seeds uncannily resembles popcorn. Be sure to stay right by the oven as they seem to roast quickly.


I hope your home is filled with as many pumpkin seeds as ours.
