Sweet Treat Low-Carb Pumpkin Seeds
"As I was seperating pumpkin seeds as we were carving pumpkins, I was having a craving for something sweet. So I decided that I would try roasting my pumpkin seeds a little different this year. I try to eat low carb so I have adjusted most of my cooking to accomodate this lifestyle and these seeds are just another great way to satisfy my sweet tooth!!! I will base all the ingredients on 2 Cups of Pumpkin Seeds just to be consistent but this will vary so adjust your recipe depending on how you sweet you like your seeds!"

I love to cook...actually bake! I love the looks on peoples faces when they are enjoying a sweet treat! I find receipes I love and change them to meet my idea of healthy! I cook and bake mostly low-carb after losing 95 pounds on the south beach diet! When I tell people that I used to be overweight they can't believe it but I attribute it to counting carbs and calories and implementing exercise after I got to a weight that allowed me to do that. I have two beautiful little girls and an amazing husband. I recently went back to college (after a five year break of getting married and having children) and will graduate in one year with a degree in Sociology and a minor in Psychology! I hope to share many recipes with you and learn from everyone else's cooking expertise!
