Poor little pumpkin seed. So underestimated. So under-utilzed. When will people truly appreciate your awesomeness? I know! I will create a pesto out of you. A pesto that showcases your warm nutty goodness, while paired with spinach and garlic. Why hasn't anyone else thought of this before??? No matter. The feat has now been accomplished!
Ode to the Pumpkin Seed - by Jenny

   Now back to the real world: Look, people. I realize that pumpkin seeds may not seem very exciting. But this pesto IS. This stuff goes with almost everything. The first thing I ate with this was mashed potatoes. Can you imagine mixing this in with mashed potatoes? A big hit with kids: GREEN mashed potatoes. 
   Then I thought about doing breakfast - BETTER than Mickey D's, and much better for you!
   Since Pesto is technically a sauce, we'll call this my Side Dish offering for the Week of the Pumpkin Seed. (By the way, pumpkin seeds are also known as pepitas, the Spanish pronunciation.)
