'Tis the season of pumpkin everything! 

I'm definitely not one to knock this fall obsession. I love most pumpkin-flavored dishes, especially my mother's pumpkin cheesecake bars she makes during the holidays. I may share that recipe if she ever decides to share with me!

But until then my other favorite fall treat is roasted pumpkin seeds. I personally like the sweeter versions, but the salted ones aren't half bad. 

One of my many goals this year is to learn how to bake more things from scratch. I've usually relied on the "recipes in a box" style of baking, but I have to admit, nothing compares to homemade. My first attempt (and success I might add) was these lemon-blueberry muffins.
