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!
