Happy Halloween!!!

Happy Halloween! I am sure you are putting together last minute costumes, gathering candy up for the kiddies, carving pumpkins or baking halloween treats. It is perfect Halloween falls on a Saturday...mom's you have all day to spend with your children and non-mom's you can spend time with your girlfriends and hit a halloween party or two tonight!

If you have not carved your jack-o-lanterns yet, don't forget to save the seeds. Here is a great recipe to enjoy the pumpkin seeds:

Roasted Pumpkin Seeds:

4 1/4 c. raw pumpkin seeds

1 tbs cooking oil

1 tsp salt

Ribbon

16 clear plastic bags or cellophane wrap

In a medium bowl combine seeds, oil and salt, mix together. On a baking sheet lay wax paper over pan, spread seeds out and let stand for 24-48 hours - until seeds are dry.

Remove wax paper from baking pan. Toast seeds on 325 degrees for 35-40 min, stirring once or twice. Let cool. Pat seeds with paper towel to remove excess oil.

Package 1/4 cup of the seeds in plastic bag or cellophane, bring the ends up and tie with ribbon. Pass out to children or neighbors - enjoy!

Be safe tonight and happy halloween!
