Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

Simple and easy, it’s a harvest tradition in our house. Here’s what we do:

Take all the seeds from all the pumpkins, soak them in warm water to remove the guts. Pull out the clean seeds and place them on foil lined cookie sheet. Liberally drop tablespoons of butter in several strategic spots on the sheet. Sprinkle a tablespoon of salt over the still wet seeds.

Bake in a 325 degree oven for 45 minutes.

Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of sugar over the seeds

Bake in 325 degrees for another 15 minutes.

Cool and enjoy!

Tzaziki’s – best fast food lamb

I am constantly amazed by Franklin. While Cool Springs is often over run by “QSRs” there are several local chains that have excellent fast food. Today on a vendor lunch I have found another one. Tzaziki’s offer fast greek food, which is not so out of the ordinary anymore, what makes this place stand apart is the quality of their lamb. As many of my family members will tell you there is nothing more medicinal than good greek lamb.

I look forward to trying the other dishes on their menu, and the additional table side service at lunch is a nice touch.
