Seeds

Pumpkin seeks are the perfect Halloween snack to munch on while you cut a jack-o-lantern.  But plenty of other squashes have delectable seeds that can be eaten well into the fall and winter.

It is true, sometimes it takes a bit of time to separate the seeds from the gooey insides of an acorn squash (or whatever you are serving up), but the results--spread on a cookie sheet, sprinkled with some salt, and baked until golden brown--are well worth the effort.

Also, waste less.  Good mantra.
