The sunset right before we went to the corn maze. |
Happy Monday everyone! How was your weekend? This weekend for me, was full of adventure. Corn maze with my love and friends, picking out our first pumpkins, watching the GAvsFL game, VICTORY! Making a Pinterest recipe, pumpkin pie spice dip, YUMMM. And last but not least one of my coworkers birthday dinner. After this busy back to the grind Monday, I am finally having the time to post.

Pinterest Candied Pumpkin Spice Seeds. ): |
- 1 cup of fresh pumpkin seeds.
- 1/4 cup of packed brown sugar.
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice.
- 1/4 teaspoon salt.
Directions:
- In a small bowl, combine all ingredients. Spread into a greased foil-lined 15-in x 10-in x 1-in baking pan.
- Bake uncovered at 250 degrees for 45-50 minutes or until seeds are well-glazed, stirring occasionally. Cool completely, break into pieces. Store in airtight container.
I am very upset to tell you all, after 48 minutes in the oven, Kyle tried them. Said they were not done. Put them back in the oven for 10 minutes on what he thought the directions said 350 degrees. Lets just say they were black, burning, and smelling the entire house up after only 6 minutes.
We will definitely be trying again on Wednesday when we carve our big pumpkin.
