Pumpkin Seeds Part 2


I went ahead and made some pumpkin seeds this afternoon. I made this recipe with a few modifications. I don't have any chipotle and my grinder broke so I didn't add any pepper. Also, I added in about 1/2 a teaspoon of chili powder. I cooked them for about 10 minutes longer than the recipe called for, but that's because I am easily distracted. They turned out wonderfully. I had made them with butter last year and as tasty as they were, they were too rich. I like the salty, sweet and savory combination that these have. I am actually tempted to buy a pumpkin just for the seeds!

Peanut Butter Popcorn


Popcorn + Peanut Butter + Chocolate = YUM! An easy snack that kiddo will love.

Pop 1/2 cup of popcorn however you like to pop your popcorn. I use the microwave method. Melt 1/2 cup of peanut butter and 1/2 tablespoon of butter in the microwave and mix together. Pour the peanut butter mixture over the popped popcorn and mix. Then spread on wax paper to cool. Add in the some plain M&M's, the amount is up to you. Then eat until your mouth hurts enjoy! Delicious and easy!
