Welcome!

I have created this blog for students who are out there living on their own, away from those home-cooked ready to eat meals! I, being a student, have been on my own cooking for myself for over 3 years now. Apart from the odd trip back home, or the many "care packages" I have been cooking my own meals, no meal plan, just my local grocery store. I have developed a number of recipes and have been handed down many others that have got me through the years, and they have even been quite healthy if I do say so myself.

Toasted Pumpkin Seeds!

I figure it's that time of year so why not share a simple snack recipe for after you carve those pumpkins. This is the easiest and most flavorful way to toast your pumpkin seeds.

You will need:

1 medium - large pumpkin
1 tablespoon salt

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

After separating and straining the seeds, fill a pot with water and bring to a boil. Add your salt and seeds to the water and let simmer for 10 min.

Strain water again and in a bowl combine olive oil with seeds. Stir to make sure you cover all the seeds evenly with oil.

Place seeds on a cookie sheet an bake on top shelf until seeds are brown.

You can also try these seeds with different flavours of popcorn seasoning in place of salt. I like salt and vinegar seasoning or dill pickle.

Have fun an enjoy!
