Staying In? |
For a fun autumn snack, try the recipe for Roasted Pumpkin Seeds, shared by Island Grown Initiative. You can toss in all kinds of seasonings. The first step, though, is to embrace the mush. You could also guess the number of seeds in a pumpkin. Hint: the more wrinkles on the outside, the more growth on the inside.
If you have a recipe to share with the community, send it along with a photo of the dish to recipes@mvtimes.com.
