Special foods might include baking Halloween cookies and cupcakes. Let’s not forget the pumpkin seeds you gather after you have cleaned out your pumpkin in preparation for carving your pumpkin. Here is a simple recipe for baking your pumpkin seeds.

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
