fun with pumpkins

It's Halloween; the pumpkins are carved and the seeds are baked! Two were carved from craft pumpkins, so we plan to the keep them. The third is a real pumpkin that we had to have to make our annual seeds.

Here is a shot of our front porch ready of All Hallow's Eve. Unfortunately you cannot see all the gourds and oak & maple leaves on the hay bails.



I thought I would toss in a little picture of the Halloween doormat we bought from the Crate & Barrel outlet. I love it!



Here are the pictures of this year's addition to our keepsake pumpkin patch:



This is the real pumpkin.


Below is the picture of the pumpkin seeds we baked. Here is my recipe:

1 - Thoroughly rinse all pumpkin off seeds. Lay them on a dishtowel for 5 minutes to dry.
2 - Line jelly roll pan with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray.
3 - Spread pumpkins out on pan and sprinkle with sea salt, paprika, cayenne pepper and cumin.
4 - Bake at 300 degrees for 30-40 minutes.

Yum!!
