Remove seeds from pumpkin and wash off all pulp (you will learn anew the meaning of slippery when doing this).  Place seeds in shallow baking pans.  Half cover the seeds with saltwater (1 teaspoon salt to 1 cup of water).

Place in a 200 degree oven and bake until all water has evaporated and seeds are crisp.  Store in airtight container if they last that long!

We had some left over ice cream from when Ed made it and no one would touch it for some reason.   I guess no one wanted to be the one to finish off the ice cream.   So what to do with it?

I found this recipe and remembered my Mom made something very similiar when I was a kid, only she used vanilla wafers or any other kind of cookie she had laying around.

So you and the kids enjoy and be sure an experiment with different cookie/ice cream combinations.

Make Ahead Tip: Wrap and freeze for up to 1 week.
RECIPE INGREDIENTS
4 small vanilla-snap cookies
2 tablespoons fruit sorbet or frozen yogurt

DIRECTIONS
Top 2 cookies with 1 tablespoon sorbet (or frozen yogurt). Top with 2 more cookies. Freeze sandwiches for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

I know I just posted, but I was watching the food channel last night and they had a show with Paula, Bobby Flay, Elton Brown, Tyler ( don’t know his last name) and Giada about Grilling on South Beach…the recipes were awesome.

Of course the chocolate smores caught my interest.  They look so good, that I will have to try them soon!
