    Simply and easy, but so beautiful. We are big fans of pumpkin and squash in our home. Throw away the pumpkin seeds? Never! They’re so good. Ha! I remember when my daughter was little, she would dry them and make jewelry. 🙂

    PUMPKIN is so so so so so good – TYPICALLY, I just do the canned because it’s easier, but I need to find me an already chopped up pumpkin and roast it!
