Mmmm, pumpkins. One of my all-time favorite foods. So very versatile, so very yummy.
Today was Pumpkin Day at our house. We read Pumpkin Day, Pumpkin Night by Anne Rockwell- a year-round favorite. Next, we prepped two pumpkins using my secret scooping tool: a biscuit cutter. We put the seeds in a colander, washed them, mixed them with oil, kosher salt and a little garam masala spice mix, and toasted them at 425ยบ till they were nice and golden. A perfect after-school snack plus now the house smells fabulous.
We carved one pumpkin as per the story: the classic jack-o-lantern face. The other one is ready for the combined creativity of the older girls and they will get their chance later today. Pictures to follow.
What do you love most about this time of year?
