Trying Something New

Halloween is over and what do you with the pumpkins?  Ryder has tried homemade seasoned pumpkin seeds before.  That is definitely was we need to make with both pumpkins he won from the swim meet.

We had no idea on how to make them or even how to get them started.  Ryder was in charge of the research and I was moral support.  Maybe even a helping hand along the way.

He found the detailed instructions and it was time to get started...  

How do you get the seeds out?
A spoon?

Or your hands?

The gooey messy insides were really hard to separate the seeds from the guts.  Oops!!! half went down the garbage disposal.  Quick thinking we were able to save most of them.  Seasonings just right and then pop them into the oven.

Yummmmm, they smelled really great.  They even tasted better.  Ginger even liked them as much as we did.  The whole bowl full disappeared by the next day.  The girls & Dave were not impressed but they don't like anything to do with pumpkin flavoring or foods.

We can easily add this to next years agenda.
