Toast those pumpkin seeds!

Chances are, you've already carve your pumpkin this year but if you're a leave-it-to-the-last-minute person like me, and you just finished gutting your jack-o-lantern 10 minutes ago, hold on to those seeds.

Why? Because you can toast them and make yourself a delicious, nutritious snack that will help you stay away from the Halloween candy. Pumpkin seeds are fairly low cal and high in protein. There's a little bit of saturated fat in there, but mostly it's good fat. So enjoy in moderation, but enjoy nonetheless.

Want a recipe? I just did this one and it's fantastic -- I'm eating them right now!
