My daughter (PK-Age 4):

Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

*All of the seeds from a pumpkin

*20 inches of salt

*4 pounds of butter

1. Carve a pumpkin and take out all of the guts

2. Get all of the seeds out of the stringy gross stuff

3. Rinse the seeds for about an hour

4. Spread the seeds on a cookie sheet so they can dry. Leave them there for about a week.

5. Put the seeds in a bowl and mix with the butter and the salt.

6. Put them back on the cookie sheet and bake at 5,000 degrees for one hour.

7. Let them cool off for an hour and then you can eat them!

I still have the Thanksgiving Cookbook created by her and her classmates 28 years ago…and the Thanksgiving story she wrote in 1st grade (she won an award for that story). Treasure these moments…and keep that cookbook forever 💗.

Sounds like the right amount of butter! And I'm glad she thought to let them cool down from 5000 degrees

This post was priceless. I especially loved your comment about the “Olympic-sized track of honey.” 😂

Also, I have been cracking up after watching “Zeke is rocks” on VIP and the freaking hilarious Make Some Noise clip, both shows I have never seen before. Now subscribed to both. Sending my gratitude. 🙏
