Pepitas

Welcome to November!

We had a lot more kids than usual last night, between 15 and 20 little ones! It was fun. I might add it was a very cold, dark and damp night.  Daughter L and son K went to separate Halloween parties with their friends.   L went out as Velma the Scooby Doo character, her boyfriend was Fred, and her friends all dressed up. K was Mario, the video game character.

I bought these roasted unsalted pepitas (shelled pumpkin seeds) at the grocery store. Call me lazy, I didn't want to clean and roast my own pumpkin seeds. They are nutritious, packed with protein and unsaturated fat. It's similar to eating nuts and also pack a lot of calories. For the 1/3 cup of seeds pictured here, that would be 310 calories.  Oh they are crunchy and delicious!
