Super Seeds…. 
You paid for that pumpkin by the pound, right?  Don’t toss out those seed when you carve it up!  Pumpkin seeds contain 5 grams of protein and fiber per 1-ounce serving plus they are a good source of zinc and magnesium.  I spritz them with some cooking spay and sprinkle them with salt, pepper and chili pepper.  If you want to go seasonal, try a sprinkle of splenda (baking), cinnamon, ginger, salt and a hint of chili powder.  Roast on a baking sheet at 325 degrees for about 10 minutes and , YUM!, you just transformed a seasonal decoration into a healthy snack!
