Hello Friends!

How is your week going? We have been celebrating birthdays around here and enjoying the cooler weather. 

Today’s recipe is an easy one when want to roast your own pumpkin seeds. My mother and I used to roast our own seeds all the time when I was a little girl. I remember enjoying pulling the seeds out from the pulp a little more than I do now, but the recipe is still good.

This is a good way to control the amount of salt of the seeds and there are no added preservatives as opposed to store-bought. You can even use a low-sodium salt if you want.

    This was one of my favorite savory baking smells from childhood. I love these! and I love when Cassidy makes roasted almonds too. Maybe I can convince him to do both this weekend!

Hi, I'm Raquel! I am a self-proclaimed foodie and have enjoyed cooking and baking since I was little. I loved baking cookies with my mother and grandma as a child, and later making dinners for my parents to foster my passion while in high school. I also had a passion for organizing and keeping things tidy.
