Project 365 Day 6.

Today I roasted pumpkin seeds.

The first batch I did was the usual salted pumpkin seeds.



The second batch I did however was a new recipe, at least new to me, sugar and spice pumpkin seeds. Which look like this.



They are delicious. Both versions.

Finally the recipe to the second version if anyone wants it.

* 1 cup raw pumpkin seeds, rinsed and dried
* 6 tablespoons white sugar, divided
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
* 1 tablespoon vegetable oil


DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Spread pumpkin seeds in a single layer on a baking sheet. Toast for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until dry and toasted. Larger seeds may take longer.
2. In a large bowl, stir together 2 tablespoons of white sugar, salt, and pumpkin pie spice. Set aside. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pumpkin seeds and sprinkle the remaining sugar over them. Stir with a wooden spoon until the sugar melts, about 45 seconds. Pour seeds into the bowl with the spiced sugar and stir until coated. Allow to cool before serving. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

Day 4 of project 365

Todays first picture is a package I received today. If you remember day 1 of 365 you'll remember a very unhappy baby Caide. Today this came....



Here is to hoping it works!!

Moving along, Halloween is getting closer. Today we carved some pumpkins with the kids. Here are some pictures from that fun.

3/365 I didn't realize that this would be so hard.

Over time I've taken really great photos. Why does it seem that they always come out better when I'm not trying to take great pictures? Today my light seemed off. Shadows in all the wrong places etc. Let's just say I'm feeling very uninspired by these photos.

However to keep with the project here are some pics from the day.

We took the kids trick or treating at the college Mike works. They had a great time and got to dress up a little bit early. Three out of our five kids for your viewing pleasure.
