I love this time of year.

I love watching the changing colors of the leaves. Temperatures are perfect. It's my birthday month. (Turning 50 this year!) It's pumpkin season. And Halloween wraps is all up on the 31st.

Enjoy the rest of the month and have fun with your kids!

My Pumpkin Seed Recipe

I don't know why I like toasted pumpkin seeds so much, but I do. I make them often and the kids love them too. And that's okay because I read that they are the world's healthiest snack! I've worked hard at perfecting the recipe to make them irresistible.
