We carved our one year old pumpkin today (more on the one year old pumpkin in a future post). The best part for me about pumpkin carving are the pumpkin seeds. If you are looking for
iron rich foods, pumpkin seeds are a great source of iron. I was iron deficient when I was pregnant so tried to eat pumpkin seeds often instead of constantly taking
Slow Fe (an iron supplement).

| Seeds from our carved pumpkin. |
 |
| Rinse seeds and drain. I spun the seeds in a salad spinner to remove excess water. |
 |
Sprinkle olive oil, kosher salt, pepper, garlic powder, cumin (or whatever spices you like).
I eyeballed all the measurements, you can't really go wrong. |
 |
| Place in oven for 25 minutes at 325 degrees or until golden brown. |
