Samhain Snack

Here are a couple of ideas for your pumpkin seeds that I came across on the net after carving the kids squash.

To begin with if you prefer a salty taste boil the seeds with salt and then let simmer for 10 minutes.

You can get creative with flavors instead of the same old thing why not try some garlic powder and Worcestershire sauce. Another couple of ideas include flavoring your seeds with honey, Cinnamon or maple syrup.

You want to pre-heat your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit and then toss seeds in a bowl with two melted tablespoons of butter (or olive oil). Place on a baking sheet and bake for 30-40 minutes stirring the seeds every 10 minutes or so.

You may be surprised to know that pumpkin seeds help promote overall prostrate health and are naturally effective against depression.They also help prevent kidney stones and are a natural anti-inflammatory.

Enjoy and happy Samhain!
