pumpkin seeds.

Hi friends, I know this was a few months ago now, but let's go with it.  This Halloween, a few friends and I got together to carve some jack o'lanterns. Since we had four pumpkins, and a plethora of pumpkin seeds, I decided to roast some seeds while we worked on our masterpieces. A quick call to my mom and I got the simple recipe she used when my family used to carve pumpkins.

     "Hi Shauna,

     Oven 300 degrees.

     2 T butter
     2 cups washed pumpkin seeds
     1 1/4 teaspoon salt
     1/2 teaspoon each: cumin, chili powder, pepper

     Melt butter in large saucepan, or bowl in the micro. 

     Add ingredients; toss to coat.
     Spread on cookie sheet, bake 30-40 min (stir often till brown and crisp)

     Delicious!!

    Love,
        Mom"
