Pumpkins

Oh, fall is such a wonderful time of the year, with the beautiful foliage. The crisp, fresh air. All those wonderful sweet smelling fall aromas... apple pies, apple crisps, pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, pumpkin pies, ginger bread......umm.... all so very delicious.
All those fresh pumpkins from the garden got cooked and canned to make all these wonderful food. We cooked some regular pumpkin seeds and tried a new version, called Spicy Pumpkin Seed. They were good but, I felt less sugar or none would have been better.



                           The recipe: 1 lg. egg white
                                             2 Tbsp. plus 1 tsp. white sugar
                                            11/4 tsp. kosher salt
                                            11/4 tsp. sweet smoked paprika
                                             3/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
                                             1/4 tsp. or less cinnamon
                                             2 cups shelled raw pumpkin seeds.

Heat oven 300F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. Whisk egg white until foamy. Add sugar, salt, paprika, cayenne, and cinnamon. Mix and stir in pumpkin seeds. Roast seeds, tossing them a couple of times, until  puffed and edges are brown. Serves 8.

I'm thinking to start a blog about my life's adventures!

One of my life's adventure's is trying to teach my girls the basics of life, an example of where food comes from and how to grow our own food. My problem is I don't have a green thumb, nor do I like dirt. So you are probably thinking so, idiot how will you teach your children. LOL. My mother and my sister. My mother grows a huge garden and so I sent them out to learn the basics.
Auntie M, is telling my little angel how not to eat dirt. She eats everything insight no matter what it is. My other angel just wants to show off, she loves the camera. She really is surprising how helpful she really can be.
They are already started to bring lettuce, spinach, peas, and one cherry tomato in from the garden. As well as picked a few juicy red raspberries. I am so happy that I am able to give them this type of an adventure.
One of the things they love the most about working/playing in the garden is after they get to play in the bathtub. Nice brown water, but two sparkling, fresh smelling girls.
