Greetings House of Shine. Cheryl here for a fabulous Friday! Yay Friday!

Do you have a ritual of carving a pumpkin every year? We do. Especially since Drew's birthday is on Halloween. But sadly, this year someone did not do their homework at homework club and the consequences were that we ran out of time and were not able to carve our pumpkins. But not all was lost.

One of our last years in Park City, Utah, we were carving our pumpkins when our neighbor Debbie stopped by. I was going to throw the seeds out but Debbie insisted that we roast them. And, a tradition was born.

We could still salvage that tradition. I change the recipe up a little bit every year. Years past have been with olive oil and salt. One time there was a hint of sugar. One year was a complete flop with too much sugar.

Here's this years recipe. Hey, are they still selling pumpkins at the store? I hope so because this is a wonderful fall treat.

And see below- your kids can even help. Drew pulled almost all of the seeds out of this pumpkin.

The seeds were put into a strainer and the pulp was rinsed off. And then we let them dry. If any of you foodies have suggestions on how to get the seeds to dry faster, please let me know in the community forum. Maybe you don't have to dry them at all. Not sure.

Once your seeds are dry, you want to season them. Here's what I used.

• 2 cups of pumpkin seeds (2 pumpkins)
• 1.5 tablespoons of melted butter
• 1.5 tablespoons of Worcestershire Sauce
• 1.25 teaspoons of season salt

Preheat your oven to 250 degrees.

Mix all ingredients together.

Spread them out on a cookie sheet.

Roast in oven for one hour. I turned mine once half way through.

And, then simply enjoy! Pretty darn easy.

It's a relatively quick way for a fun snack. My boys love them! Do you roast pumpkin seeds in your home? Will you give them a try? What are you most looking forward to eating this Thanksgiving? Join us in the community forum and let's talk turkey. Or dressing. Or bread.

Signing off until tomorrow.

And don't forget! Join us tomorrow to read about our next Yellow Envelope Project nominee and let's flood their mailbox with yellow envelopes of appreciation.
