How to Roast Pumpkin Seeds

Fall is the start of the holiday season, and it is a beautiful time of year. The leaves are changing color, the air is crisp and the pumpkins and scarecrows decorate homes and stores. Many of you will soon be baking or carving Jack O Lanterns, and may be wondering how to roast pumpkin seeds so you don't waste these little marvels of nutrition. Watch our new roasted salted pumpkin seeds video. A pumpkin seeds recipes video will be following shortly.



Pumpkin seeds are full of nutrients, like Omega 3 fats, cancer fighting cucurbitace, and cholesterol lowering phytosterols. They also are a great source of magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, iron and zinc. But let's face it - we mainly eat them because they are delicious! Since they don't trigger allergins, they also make a great snack for school or the workplace.

I must admit that I was dissapointed with the yield from our first pumpkin - the seeds barely had time to cool before they were all gone! Pumpkin seeds are available all year round and can be ordered online. They are most nutritious raw, but can be bought roasted/seasoned. Add them to lunches, salads, bread mixes, muffins, cereals and cooked veggies. You can also grind them up to add to salad dressings, oatmeal, ground beef or turkey.

To get you in the mood for Halloween and a 'spooktacular' fall, check out our new videos on Disturbia/Thriller dances. Learn some cool new moves to show off at your Halloween party!

Trick or Treat Halloween Bags

I love halloween, but the treats play tricks with my weight. I have found treats that kids love which are allergy safe, have no calories, no sugar,and leftovers can be kept for next year! My secret? I simply give out halloween toys for kids in their trick or treat bags.

Halloween toys are now available through discount stores, dollar stores and novelty companies. Halloween toys include bouncy balls that look like eyeballs; monster finger puppets; spinning spider tops, stretchy insects, etc. There are also toys for school, like Halloween pencils, erasers and pencil toppers decorated with witches, ghosts, ghouls, pumpkins, black cats and candy corn. I really like the craft items which kids can decorate themselves. Craft items can include Halloween wood shapes, coloring books, stampers, stencils and putty.

Novelties can cost as little as 5 cents, with most averaging 15-20 cents. Therefore, it is not any more expensive to buy toys than candy. Halloween toys are perfect for school, especially the pencils and erasers, since they pose no threat to children with allergies. Toys are also safer than candy since kids do not eat them and there is no worry of pills or razor blades being inserted into a pencil or bouncy ball.

Best of all, toys can be stored for the next Halloween if you buy too much. In fact, you can take advantage of after Halloween sales to store up on items for next year. If you are making Halloween trick or treat bags, or party favor bags, you can always add in a piece or two of candy for tradition. Giving Halloween toys does cut down on the calories and sugar kids consume. In an age where obesity is a big problem with our youth, substituting toys for candy can only be a good thing.

One last tip: If you do not want to eat the candy you buy for trick or treating, get a brand of candy you do not like. That way you won't be tempted!
