Can you eat squash seeds?

Absolutely! All squash seeds are edible. Everything from butternut to pumpkins. All too often squash seeds are dropped into the trash or compost bins. But not only are Squash seeds edible and easy to prepare, but they also make a wonderful, nutrient-dense crispy snack full of things like omega-3 fatty acids, protein, beta-carotene, and vitamin C.

Some favorites include roasted seeds from spaghetti squash, acorn, buttercup, butternut, turban, Hubbard, kabocha, and Delicata squash.

Brushing Teeth with Little Ones

For those of you that might be new here, I’m Jenn, a mom of 5 ranging from 3 years old all the way to 18, yes, that’s right, 18 years old. So I’ve been doing teeth brushing routines for a while now and one thing I’ve learned… once you think you have it down, one of your kids changes it up on you. My 2 oldest just needed fun toothpaste and they were good. My 3 youngest, on the other hand, need more than fun toothpaste to get through their teeth brushing.

My Go-To Red Velvet Cake

Red velvet cake is more than just a white cake dyed red, it’s also not a full-fledged chocolate cake. Instead, it has a buttery, tangy flavor with a slight chocolate undertone. Red velvet cake has a pretty unique flavor with an old-fashioned, from-scratch quality that I love. In my opinion… no boxed red velvet cake mix can compare to the work and effort.

Fall Brunch Recipes to Impress

Brunch is a meal usually served from late morning to early afternoon. The word “brunch” is a portmanteau (a word blending the sounds and combining the meanings of two others) of “breakfast” and “lunch”, hence… BR-unch. Typically, you eat breakfast & lunch food together at an early lunchtime (or late breakfast time) and so, have brunch in lieu of both breakfast and lunch.
