boo! green your halloween



Consider carving an organic pumpkin this Halloween! Blue House Farm in Pescadero Calif. grows these and much more available through their CSA. While you're at it, check out the nearby Half Moon Bay annual Pumpkin Festival! Its well worth the drive.

Save the guts!

Baked pumpkin seed recipe:

Preheat oven to 250 F.
Rinse pumpkin seeds. Use your fingers to remove all the pulp.
Drain pumpkin seeds and discard pulp.
Spread out on paper towels on a cookie sheet to dry overnight.
Line a baking sheet with non-stick foil.

Toss pumpkin seeds in olive oil, butter, or spray with cooking spray. Sprinkle with salt, garlic powder, onion powder, seasoned salt, cayenne pepper, or your choice of seasonings. Toss to coat.

Bake about 1 hour, tossing every 15 to 20 minutes, until golden brown.
