Pumpkin seed update

Well, the pumpkin seeds turned out excellent!!! Nice and crunchy and bursting with flavour.  You simply must try making them!! (Oh and don't roast them for a hour; maybe 30-45 minutes.)

As well, I worked up quite an appetite cleaning out those pumpkins and slaving over the stove! I was very hungry today and wanted to make a quick, easy lunch.  It is a twist on my old favourite, the Blackened Fish salad.  I actually made the Blackened Fish salad for dinner 2 nights ago (and yes my 19 year old son really liked it and ate it) and I had some leftover quinoa from that.

For this salad I used cold leftover quinoa, cut up cucumber, feta cheese, raw pumpkin seeds, raw sunflower seeds, dried cranberries and a healthy dollop of tzatziki as a dressing.  It was fabulous, I must say.  I think I could easily be a vegetarian, as long as I had feta cheese! (Of course they were out of boxes of quinoa at the store the other day, so I ended buying a box of a blend of quinoa, couscous and something else, which escapes me right now.  It was really good and I may switch to that from now on).

Doesn't this look fabulous!!??  It was!!    And so simple, healthy and quick!!!  Try it and let me know how you liked it.
