Pumpkins and their Seeds

This will be a short one since I am actually on vacation (again….I know).  I should be back later in the week though and of course I will tell you all about it!

Just in case you are wondering, C and I are heading to sunny Jacksonville, Florida to hit the beach for a few days and see a football game.

Anywho…..I thought I’d share with you a bit about our Halloween!  Yeah, I know. I’m really late on this.

First...here's our pumpkins! Can you tell who did what?

Of course you can!  Disney and a football team (Michigan State Spartans).  Duh.  Are we stereotypical male/female or what? 

After we carved our pumpkins, we baked some yummy pumpkin seeds.  Oh man I love those things.  In fact, I love them so much that I went out and bought 4 more pumpkins after Halloween (clearance priced woo hoo) just for the seeds.

Last Saturday C and I spent the day dreaming up pumpkin seed recipes. Some were tasty and some were a definite bust!

Flavors we tried:

• Plain with salt
• Season Salt
• Chipotle Chili powder and salt
• Mustard powder with salt (fail)
• Dill powder and salt (fail)
• Sriracha sauce and salt
• Soy Sauce soaked
• Garlic salt (fail)

My favorites were the plain, chipotle and sriracha.  I will definitely be making them again with those ingredients!  I realize we were reaching with a few of those, but we were having fun pulling spices out of the cabinet to try!

Do you have any pumpkin seed recipes you love?
