And they taste so yummy!
especially when tossed with a blend of turmeric, ancho chili powder, cumin, nutmeg and garlic (also a smidge of fresh ground sea salt)
+Andrew Coffman yum!
Arthritis? You're kidding! Great! Thanks.
I need to roast myself some seeds!!
+Maggy Woodley I looked for some at the store but didn't find any, the search continues today.
I was going to buy a pumpkin and make soup and roast the seeds +Peg Fitzpatrick ? Or do you mean, no pumpkins in store?
+Maggy Woodley Ooo your plan sounds great. I was looking for seeds in the store..umm the easy way. I'm going to check the natural food store and if I can't find them, I'll make soup too and toast the seeds.
Perfect! Win win all round and you can teach the kids a recipe! +Peg Fitzpatrick
+Maggy Woodley Mine are all old enough to do it on their own.
But I miss those days.
Ha yes! Good point! +Peg Fitzpatrick
