Put Some 'Spirit' into Roasted Pumpkin Seeds~~

For me, Halloween always conjures up memories of childhood. My older sister would always have a houseful of friends over to roast pumpkin seeds. Back in those days butter was a food group. There was often more salt and butter than pumpkin seeds but I always tasted the love. She would always make sure I wasn't forgotten and included me in the festivities. Toasting pumpkin seeds on a rainy Halloween night is a tradition you too may love as well. Put your own spin on it. Try substituting butter/salt with a ghostly bit of Popcorn Seasoning which comes in a variety of flavors. Perhaps try sizzling them in some movie theater popcorn oil, mmmm, can't you just taste it now? So what are you doing still reading this , get baking.

* If you want to Take a walk on the Wild Side try experimenting with some of Duncan Hynes frosting flavorings. Some of the flavors they sell are caramel, mocha almond,.... cotton candy. Have fun with it. Have the kids come up with suggestions, adding a bit of this and a dash of that.

(Be sure to save some seeds for spring planting!!! Make your own heirloom seeds. Make memories which grow through the years.)

Have the Happiest of Halloweens !!!!! ENJOY!
