Pumpkin Seeds

Hello, fellow monsters!

All Hallow's Eve is now 8 days away! Of course, like many monsters I am antsy to roam the Earth once more. Okay, I'm just kidding...or am I?

A spooky cemetery near my house!

One of my favorite things to do as Halloween inches closer is to carve pumpkins. Furthermore, I really enjoy what is inside the pumpkin. Yes, the seeds are quite delicious if made correctly! So, lets take a look at my family recipe to making delicious pumpkin seeds!

Preparation:

• Carve your pumpkin :)

• Scrape out the pumpkin.
• Save the seeds
• Rinse the seeds and separate them from the pumpkin-goo

Baking:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit
• After seeds are rinsed and dried:
• Toss seeds in olive oil
• Throw on a dash of Tony Chachere's seasoning (Found at any grocery store: green bottle)
• Throw on a nonstick pan

• Place in oven for about 20-25 minutes (or until golden)
• Flip 10 minutes into baking to ensure that they are evenly browned
• Take out of oven and let them cool

Now What?

• Invite your friends over for a movie night!

• Place your baked seeds in a dish
• Oh, and maybe grab some candy, popcorn, and other ghoulish treats

• Throw in a horror/Halloween flick:
• Martyrs (2008)
• Trick 'r Treat (2009)
• 13 Ghosts (2001)
• Corpse Bride (2005)
• Twilight Marathon (to prepare for November's release)
• Black Sheep (2006)
• Dawn of the Dead or Night of the Living Dead
• Halloween Marathon
• Beetle Juice (1988)
• Hocus Pocus (1993) : my all time favorite Halloween movie!
• Edward Scissorhands (1990): or any Tim Burton movie!
• Young Frankenstein (1974)

• Grab a blanket or light a fire!
• Prepare to be scared!

• Enjoy the last few days of Halloween!
