TODAY'S RECIPE & NUTRITION TIP! Roasted Pumpkin Seeds from Taste of Home's 25 Fall Farmers Market Recipes!  Roasting pumpkin seeds is easier than it seems. Just hollow a pumpkin out, spice 'em and bake 'em for a fun snack for kids of all ages to make! 

"With a wide variety of nutrients ranging from magnesium and manganese to copper, protein and zinc, pumpkin seeds are nutritional powerhouses wrapped up in a very small package. They also contain plant compounds known as phytosterols and free-radical scavenging antioxidants,1 which can give your health an added boost," according to the Organic Consumers Association article, 9 Health Benefits of Pumpkin Seeds. Pumpkin seeds are good to keep a healthy immune system, a healthy heart, good for restful nights sleep, anti-diabetic, and good as an anti-inflammatory.  So, when Fall arrives and you want a good healthy snack, reach for and have fun roasting those pumpkin seeds!

TODAY'S RECIPE & NUTRITION TIP!  Baked Acorn Squash with Apple Stuffing from AllRecipes.Com. Keep this recipe in your back pocket for when the weather gets chilly! Makes a great side dish with a pork roast!

"Acorn squash is a small variety of winter squash named for its resemblance to a large acorn. Its firm, yellow-orange flesh has a mellow, sweet flavor that pairs well in dishes containing bacon, garlic, maple syrup or spices such as sage or nutmeg. The American Dietetic Association lists winter squash as one of the best sources of the antioxidant beta carotene. Acorn squash contains vitamin A, niacin, folate, thiamine and vitamin B-6, but it is an especially good source of vitamin C." ~ "Healthy Facts about Acorn Squash" from SFGate's Healthy Eating.
