Cinnamon Sugar Pumpkin Seed Recipe
Since, I love budget recipes, I really love this recipe for pumpkin seeds! When I bake my pumpkins for pumpkin bread and pumpkin muffins, we scoop out all of the pumpkin seeds first. Pumpkin seeds are so yummy, plus they are really good for you!
Pumpkin seeds contain L-tryptophan, which naturally helps prevents depression. There are studies that they can even help prevent kidney stones (which means I really want to eat them!) They also contain phytosterols which helps to lower your LDL cholesterol and prevent cancer. And, they are high in magnesium. It is hard to believe that something that delicious for you is good!
