pumpkin

During the autumn season, pumpkin-spiced everything is very trendy. It makes sense, considering pumpkins are seasonal to fall.

Well hello there, Fall!  Why yes, I would like some pumpkin with my…everything.

Including dog treats.

From pumpkin lattes to the traditional pie, this season’s harvest has no match. Pumpkins and gourds stock the market shelves, foods that fill not only the belly, but the soul. Living in Barcelona, I wasn’t able to travel home to the United States for Thanksgiving, but there are little reminders of home I can whip up in my adopted country that ring in the season.

Tis the season for all things pumpkin. After trying some pumpkin-orange juice at a fancy-schmancy restaurant; I knew I had to try juicing this autumnal squash at home.

What to do with all those pumpkin seeds after carving is done? Roast them and eat them, of course! After cleaning off the seeds simply coat them in the seasonings of your choice and spread them out on a baking sheet to be cooked until golden brown (30-45 minutes, flipping halfway through) at 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
