PUMP PUMP PUMP IT UP!
Greetings My Pumpkin Pies! ... I've finally gotten my wits about me, and am now living in the land of the PUMPKINS, instead of the Christmas Tree nonsense (for now at least-don't hold your breath). 
I mean it. I'm not fibbinbg when I say that I am
LIVING + BREATHING + EATING PuMpKiNs!!!
Look!
I just picked up a real pumpkin at the Farmer's Market this morning! HoneyBuns' We're going to carve it this weekend, just in time for Halloweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen! ...I also plan on using every last ounce of this baby to EAT...starting with the SEEDS! Boy, do I LOOOOOoooOOOOoooOOOOove Roasted Pumpkin Seeds! You better eat up, buttercups! because, pumpkin seeds are FILLED with loads of fiber, vitamins, minerals, and other health-promoting antioxidants!
Here is the skinny on how to Roast the Seeds:
- Preheat Oven to 350
- After hollowing pumpkin, clean seeds, but don't worry if there's pulp - only adds flavor! (remove big chunks)
- Pour seeds in a large mixing bowl, and coat with 1-2 T of melted butter, or olive oil.
- Lightly salt & toss
- Spread seeds evenly onto lightly greased large jelly roll pan (photo of pan below)
- Bake for about 30 minutes, or until seeds are golden brown. Check on them every 15 minutes to turn over.
And Voíla! A healthy snack, that won't fail to deliver the goods to your beautiful mind + body + soul. And that's the truth! 
If anyone has some wonderful recipe ideas using fresh pumpkin, I am ALL EARS! Do tell! Don't be shy!
In the meantime...I'm going to share my recently absent Breakfast Report! (primarily due to the fact, that I've been eating the same ole same ole banana blends).
