Halloween is the time of year for fun and festive food and festivities. Spiced-up pumpkin seed is one of my favorite snacks during the fall season. It brings me back to my childhood and reminds me of when I used to carve pumpkins with my family and then cook the seeds. My mom always made the best pumpkin seeds.
