These sound great Deb. Here in the southwest, roasted and flavored pumpkin seeds...

...are a popular snack. The mexicans call them "pepitas". I love them just pan-roasted and salted. They go from a somewhat flat seed to a plump, crunchy treat when roasted. Good stuff!

Trader Joe's carries raw, unsalted pumpkin seeds, so I will definitely try this.

Thanks,

Michael
