Having recently learned of the great benefits of Pumpkin Seeds, and being a Lousiana native, I found this recipe to be a perfect fit for my health regimen. For the Cajun flavoring I used To y Chachere's "More Spice" Seasoning Blend, though I am sure that the Original Tony's Saeaoning would work quite well. -
i used already seeded pumpkin seeds so it did take as long great taste zwt9

Very yummy and very addicting! These were super easy to make and really had a great flavour. Thanks for sharing such a yummy healthy treat with us, Dr. Jenny! Made and reviewed for your being VIP during Veggie Swap #58 May 2013. -
These are good. Even DD2 (15 months) was eating some. My DD1 (5 years old) says they are yummy. I used home made cajun seasoning, sweet paprika, sea salt, to taste, no Worcestershire sauce which I understand has a mainly salty flavour, and organic extra virgin olive oil in place of the butter to be dairy free (I wonder if butter would burn?). Made for Veggie Swap #56 ~ March 2013 ~

I work full-time as a School Psychologist in Michigan. Besides the kids, one of the best aspects of the job is summer vacation, when I can concentrate on doing more of the things that I like to do---like look up recipes and play games on Recipezaar!!!
I married my wonderful and handsome husband, Sean, in August 2007. He is becoming a wonderful gardender and tends to both our veggie and herb gardens. We really enjoy cooking with our own fresh ingredients. We most often cook together, so my reviews typically reflect our joint opinions. He's the better cook, so I pick up a lot of my techniques from him.
My other interests include reading (now that I have time), Irish dancing (I've taken a class for the last several years), "appreciating" wine (I use the term very loosely), and listening to and going to see Irish bands (I love the Pogues).
I also enjoy travelling, especially around Western Europe, where I have been multiple times. One of my favorite places is Italy, and Sean and I had a great time on our honeymoon eating, drinking, and sightseeing in the Cinque Terre and in Tuscany. This July 2009, we expanded our horizons to Eastern Europe and visited the Czech Republic, Slovenia, and Croatia. Two of my favorite dishes on the trip were Croatian: fish brodet and Hvarska gregada. I am looking forward to trying my hand at making them at home as I see that someone on Zaar, who is Croatian, posted recipes for both!
Besides my husband, the other lights of my life are my cats: Chloe, Pip, and my newest ragdoll cat, Giselle, all of whom I absolutely adore.
