ROASTED PUMPKIN SEEDS


In honor of Halloween, and since these are baking in my oven right now. Here is my moms recipe for pumpkin seeds (although I put more Worcestershire sauce in mine that she does)

Roasted Pumpkin Seeds
2 C Pumpkin Seeds
3 T Worcestershire Sauce
3 T Butter (real butter)
1 tsp Salt

* Wash pumpkin seeds getting most of the pumpkin off

* Melt butter in a small bowl.

* Add Worcestershire sauce to the butter and stir.

* Add butter mixture to the seeds and stir well.

* Spread seeds onto a LARGE cookie sheet (the cookie sheet needs to have sides or this won’t work)

* Sprinkle well with salt. I like to use the coarse salt but table salt works too.

Bake at 250 degrees for 2 hours or until crunchy

***If your pumpkin seeds are large you will need to bake them longer.

SUMMER IS OVER



I can't believe it has been almost a month since I last updated this blog.

I guess I can make the excuse that life has been just TOO busy.

Our family took a trip to Tony Grove in Northern Utah. We camped, fished, floated in a canoe, went on a hike and just had a blast.



We have been picking our garden and canning salsa like crazy.
This double-stacked-stuck-together tomato came from our garden this past month.
As did the watermelon.


I also got to spend a Saturday with some of my favorite people in the whole wide world. Mary and Heather. We spend many years together in Jr High and High school.



And we have just been having fun. Summer has ended, the flowers are dying and the temperatures are turning cooler. So why not enjoy the last of the warmth.
