Remember the ooey, gooey popcorn of yester years? I decided my children could experience the same thing, in a bit more healthy fashion. I'm not always a huge fan of the cakes, the frosting is tricky...so for my little Pip's upcoming birthday I got creative.

Pumpkin Seeds...Food for Your Temple
Don't leave out the pumpkin seeds! They are amazingly healthy. Sprinkle them on anything and everything you can. Chock full of vitamin, minerals, protein, and amino acids. In fact, you can get 1/2 of the daily recommended doses of zinc, magnesium, manganese, iron, copper, vitamin K and phosphorous. Their protein content is 29% higher than the average seed. They are also high in A and B vitamins, calcium, and a known anti-inflammatory, and anti-depressant, anti-parasitic agent. Zinc deficiency is a major issue with osteoporosis. I have taken to adding them into the Multigrain Hot Cereal right before I serve it to my family. Delicious.
