For Family Night this week, we did the annual pumpkin carving. We did the usual...clean out the pumpkin, separate the seeds, and then roast them for yummy snacking. I got busy with the seeds while Hubby worked on the carving with the kids. I did what I normally do with the seeds:
1) Soak them in water while trying to get all the pumpkin goop off
2) Pat them dry and lay them on a baking sheet with olive oil
3) Sprinkle with salt (lotsa salt)
4) Bake at 325 for about 25 minutes
And this is what they looked like when I was done:
Then we started munching on them (they're so good warm!). Hubby looked at me funny and asked why I was eating the whole seed with the shell instead of taking the shells off and eating only the seeds. I got a question mark in my head and heard myself say, "huh?!" In all my 30 years of life, I've never known that it's an option to take the shells off and just eat the seeds. HELLO...that would have been nice to know. Is it just me?!
The pumpkins turned out super cute too...this one is Jackie 'O'
Stay tuned for some pictures of my crazy good thrift store finds...
