I Triple Dog Dare You!

While I was scrolling through my Facebook newsfeed one day last week, one of my friends shared this recipe.  I think it was found on Pinterest.  To be honest, I don't know who's recipe this is and I apologize for not giving the person who created this slap your hand on the counter good dessert bar the credit they deserve.

1 roll Toll House cookie refrigerated cookie dough

1 package chocolate sandwich cookies

1 box brownie mix

Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees F

Very important!!! Line a 13 x 9 baking dish with Parchment paper or you will not get these babies out of the dish looking pretty.

Press the cookie dough evenly on the bottom of the parchment paper lined baking dish.  Place one row of chocolate sandwich cookies on top of the cookie dough.

Prepare the brownie mix per package directions and pour evenly over the cookies and cookie dough.

Bake per brownie package directions.

Once completely cooled, cut in to squares and watch your family devour them!

This should only be attempted by seasoned chefs!

Happy Monday!

Pumpkin Seeds

I was really stoked that a lot of you were really interested in what I did with the pumpkin seeds and I hope you're not disappointed.

The pumpkin seeds fresh out of two pumpkins - very wet, slimy, sticky and full of hunks of pulp.

Toss the seeds in a fine mesh colander and rinse them well and pick out the stringy pulp. A few little strings will remain, just get rid of the big chunks...it's not too tedious. Let them drain for a few minutes.

Spread the seeds out on a baking sheet. This part is VERY IMPORTANT! Let them dry overnight. Believe me you will need "overnight" to let them dry.

When the seeds are completely dry, give them a light coating of extra virgin olive oil and toss the seeds to coat evenly. Now all that's left to do is season them any way you like. We seasoned ours with salt, cayenne and garlic powder. The possibilities are endless. You can make them sweet or savory or any degree of salty or spicy. After you season the seeds toss them again to evenly distribute the seasoning.

Slide the seeds in a pre-heated 250 degree and roast for about 1 hour until they are golden brown. I had intentions of bagging them up to send to work and school with my husband and the homegirlz but that didn't happen. They were gone and I mean all gone in less than 45 minutes.

I'd love to hear how long they last at your house!
