\nIt's the season where pumpkins are in full swing at our Cypress, TX apartments<\/a>. Some people are carving pumpkins while others are simply displaying these bright orange gifts from the garden as a means of inviting autumn into their homes. In either case, there are plenty of seeds in every pumpkin, but not everybody knows what to do with them. Here are some ideas we thought would help.<\/p>\n

1. Squash & Lemongrass Soup With Spiced Pumpkin Seeds<\/h2>\n

Fall is the perfect time of year to start getting your soup recipes ready for the upcoming chilly winter season. Even in Texas, the feel-good foods associated with autumn help to warm bellies and hearts at the same time. This squash and lemongrass soup with spiced pumpkin seeds<\/a> displays a vibrant orange hue that's perfect for pre-winter preparations. If you don't use all the spiced pumpkin seeds in the soup, eat them on their own as a snack when afternoon hunger pangs arrive.<\/p>\n

2. Cardamom Pepita Brittle<\/h2>\n

You may not think of sweet things when you think of pumpkin seeds, but this cardamom pepita brittle<\/a> brings raw pepita seeds together with a combination of ingredients that make for an awesome dessert.<\/p>\n

3. Healthy Pumpkin Granola Recipe<\/h2>\n

Leave the store-bought granola on the shelf where it came from because this homemade recipe<\/a> is packed with plenty of things that'll power you through your mornings in a positive way. A combination of different types of seeds, power foods and a little pumpkin puree for good measure make this granola recipe fit for fall.  <\/p>\n

4. Pumpkin Butter<\/h2>\n

Give your toast something to be excited about in the morning by making your own nut butter spread. Swap out the raw nuts in this recipe<\/a> for raw pumpkin seeds. Add a few ingredients to a food processor after you've baked the pumpkin seeds, blend until smooth and enjoy your fresh pumpkin butter.<\/p>\n

5. Pepita Pesto<\/h2>\n

If you're looking for a versatile recipe that can be used several nights a week without getting boring, try this pepita pesto<\/a>. You can pour it on steak, chicken, pasta or anything else your family might be craving.<\/p>\n
