Hello friends! I’m sorry I’ve been remiss in posting lately. Lots of you have checked in to see if I’m ok, and I am! I’m awesome! I’m just more busy than I’ve ever been.
Maybe that’s not exactly true, but I’ve certainly had a bit of an attitude change.
I’ve been this busy before, but somehow working for myself changes things. Where I used to find solace in taking some time for myself to write a blog post, I now find stress. Since all of my time is now spent for myself, minutes that aren’t spent on my businesses (three at last count) cause me a bit of panic. The minutes where I need to stop, because I no longer have the brain power to do it, I can only sit on my ass and watch mind-numbing TV.
That being said, I need balance. I can’t only work. I’m learning that. So today I’m back with a short and sweet blog post about the first of two delicious things I did with this pie pumpkin. You might be able to guess about what the second will be.
These pumpkin seeds were the world’s most delicious. (Or at least the most delicious I’ve ever had). The secret? Frying them in butter before roasting them.
Healthy? Not so much. Insanely tasty? You bet.
World’s Best Pumpkin Seeds
Ingredients
- Seeds from a pumpkin, pie or otherwise
- Butter (about 1/2 tbsp for a pie pumpkin’s worth of seeds, this is an art, not a science)
- Some shakes of salt
- Some grinds of pepper
Directions
- Preheat oven to 275F.
- Rinse all the orange gunk off pumpkin seeds and let dry until mostly dry.
- Melt butter in a saucepan (if you are extra crazy, try browning the butter), add pumpkin seeds, salt and pepper and fry for a minute or so until well coated.
- Spread on a parchment paper lined baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes (or until browned). Keep an eye on them because you want them crunchy but not burnt!
