Post about pumpkins and pumpkin seeds!

Dick and Lindy grew too many pumpkins this year..so I happily took a few off their hands.

What to do with pumpkins? I sliced them in half and baked them (open side down on a cookie sheet). A few spots on the skin got a little brown, but the flesh underneath was just right. Peeling was super-easy!


Peeled and sliced into chunks - off to the freezer in bags for future soups and breads (and pie, of course!)

First time trying to roast pumpkins seeds. I just washed all the "hairy" pulp away from the seeds - left to dry overnite on a rag.

Tossed with olive oil, salt and Worcestershire sauce - baked in a 300 degree oven, tossing a few times. Crunchy, yummy.
