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...

2nd Annual Practical Magic Blog Party 2011 is Here! *Updated*

It's time for the 2nd Annual Practical Magic Blog Party created & hosted by the wonderful Anna of Frosted Petunias ! My sincerest apologies for getting this up rather late! The adventure that is post Hurricane Irene cleanup & repairs has been taking up too much time recently. (sigh) Things are a mess; I only started decorating for Autumn yesterday and I'm missing Halloween decorations! Luckily my broom is always safe and sound by the front door so at least I don't have to wonder where it is. (Not that it hasn't been known to scamper off now and again - naughty broom). I was afraid, quite honestly, that I wouldn't even get a post up sometime today! I kept hitting dead ends with every other one I tried. But, this morning I sat here at the computer and it flowed. Thankfully! I would have been so disappointed if I'd missed this, it was such fun last year! As some may remember from last years party, while I like the movie, (and love that house!), I love the...
