Now, for my Baked Pumpkin Seeds Recipes!

Mostly by Mói!
(The egg whites are thanks to Rachel Ray because olive oil & veggie oil & butter just have not worked for me in the past).

Take guts & seeds & put in a large bowl of water & let seeds float to top. (Wipe off any remaining pumpkin goo that doesn't come off).

Put seeds on clean kitchen towel to dry. (They'll stick to paper towels!)

For every 2 cups of pumpkin seeds, you use 2 beaten egg whites.

For plain:
Mix egg whites w/seeds, (a pinch of salt if you want) place on a cookie sheet & bake at 250° for roughly 20 minutes to half hour (depending on if you want them golden or slighty browned).

Or for sweet:
You can use the egg whites in addition to
-Quarter cup Sugar
Spread on a cookie sheet & bake at 250° for roughly 20 minutes to half hour (depending on if you want them golden or slighty browned).

For sweet & spicy:
You can use the egg whites in addition to
-Quarter cup Sugar
Mix & spread on cookie sheet then sprinkle with
-Pinch of Cayenne Pepper
-Tsp Cinnimon
Bake at 250° for roughly 20 minutes to half hour (depending on if you want them golden or slighty browned).

For a different sweet & spicy
-Use the beaten egg whites
-1/8 cup or less of sugar
Mix & spread on cookie sheet then sprinkle with Old Bay Seasoning & a pinch of salt. Bake at 250° for roughly 20 minutes to half hour (depending on if you want them golden or slighty browned).

You can also use a pinch of garlic powder or any spice in your pantry, just use the 2 beaten agg whites for every 2 cups of seeds regardless.

Enjoy & Pumpkin Carving!
Love,
Jo

An Enchanted Garden Party

Welcome to my post! To visit other participants, please head over to the Practical Magic Blog Party 2010 blog. I must say that while I think Practical Magic the movie is adorable, I think the novel is incredible. And that is where I gleaned my inspiration from for these festivities. Gardens are mysterious, magical and enchanting, don't you think? Now follow me out into the garden, I have everything all ready for you, including music! (Turn your volume on). *Update: Music has reverted to my regular Fall soundtrack, 9/28/2010* For all of you non Practical Magic Blog Party folks, head on over to NJ Through My Eyes where I've posted 2 new slide-shows today; one is a preview of a new project I'm working on!

A Walk Through The (Dis)Enchanted Forrest (Halloween Party Post)

Welcome & thank you for visiting my post! For more Halloween fun today & throughout the weekend, visit A Fanciful Twist . For more Halloween & Autumn Fun, check out my "Autumn Tuesday" & "Halloween Thursday" posts by clicking on their labels in the left hand column. ~Happy Halloween & Pumpkin Blessings! *Update for those friends wondering, I put this together prior to surgery yesterday to make sure I would be able to post it for today! (Though it didn't post at 12:01am like it was supposed to). Anyhoo, I'm home and resting (uncomfortably). Surgery went well, my kidney tube and stone are gone! I have an internal stent on the left hand side but I'm okay with that because it comes out in the doctor's office in 2-3 weeks (no back to the hospital) and especially because it meant they could take that nephrostomy tube out! (The last nearly 2 weeks of that 15 weeks was rough with that thing, my body was simultaneously trying to heal aroun...

Not Exactly Music To My Ears and Acceptance

Went to my 'every 6 weeks' follow-up doctor's appointment with my Rheumologist yesterday morning. Apparently my heart palpitations/racing (not often, though enough to be noticeable), vision issues (blurriness and discomfort) and muscle cramps (too often & not dehydration) are "disease progression." Not exactly music to my ears I can tell you that much. We discussed my pain & swelling levels (back on the rise through the last 2 iv treatments) and agreed that my iv med should be increased from 400mg every 8 weeks to 500mg every 8 weeks. (This brings me closer to the area of 800mg, which Dr. A feels would be the max dose for me, and the fact that I'm getting closer to that mark scares me). One good thing to note, my blood pressure was "normal" for (at least) the 3rd follow-up in row and without meds, so at least that's one less thing for me to worry about (though it's like a needle in a hay stack really). I'm always on the verge ...
