Festive Halloween Dinner; Dinner in a Pumpkin
- Preheat the oven to 400. Clean out seeds and separate them from the stringy part.
- In a small sauce pan, add the seeds, about 2 cups water and about a tablespoon salt. Bring to a boil, let simmer 10 minutes. Remove from heat, and drain.
- Spread on a roasting pan spray with olive oil cooking spray. Bake on top rack (maybe 20-40 minutes) til they begin to brown. Stir them once. Let cool and Enjoy!
We actually cleaned the pumpkins the night before. Then put the pumpkin in the fridge til we were ready to cook it.
Dinner in a Pumpkin

Preheat oven to 350 degrees
1 small to medium pumpkin, deseeded and washed with cap on. Place on a cookie sheet (not necessary but easier to hold onto when removing) Begin cooking the pumpkin for approx 30 minutes. **if you have a large pumpkin which is what we had, cook for one hour empty.
2 cups cooked rice (brown is best!)
So good! Very fun!
