I forgot to mention pumpkin carving in my last post: Spooky Halloween Treats. No, I didn’t. I was listing the things I like about Halloween, and pumpkin carving is not one of them. I enjoy getting the viral messages with cool pictures of professionally carved pumpkins like these.
And, just like this guy, I do LOVE the (roasted) seeds! So, if you’re craving some yummy pumpkin seeds, I’ve got the perfect recipe for you.
