Okay "healthy" in the this pumpkin seed brittle recipe may be a bit of an exaggerated statement. This is still a dessert/candy snack.. so moderation is key here people! No eating the entire batch in one sitting like I just did.. it hurts!!
Remember when I told you that my last recipe post was going to be my last pumpkin spice recipe? Well it was, and this is my last pumpkin recipe for the season hehe GOT YA.
Now for some story time.. I am sorry if this grosses some people out but, the nurse in me allows me to talk health + food all in post and not get turned off.. If this isn't you, then I apologize... and you should skip the next few paragraphs. You have been warned!
If you follow me on snap chat, you would have seen the long hike I took my dogs on the other day. We went along a beautiful path through a forest. Some areas of the path were heavy straw grass where as other areas were straight rock. During the walk I thought I felt a stick prick my hip so I brushed it off and continued on my way..
Later on (like an hour later) when I got home, I looked down at my pants to find a TICK on my hip. Luckily it was not able to break through my pants and attach its self to me but it scared me like crazy! For those of you who aren't aware what ticks are.. they are little bugs that bite and latch onto skin (usually dogs) and grow while feeding. They are a real problem in my area because they carry a awful illness called "Lyme Disease" that cause huge health issues in humans.
So initially, this put me into a major panic.. called Dylan, he told me to go to the hospital if the Tick bite me..luckily after talking with my doctor, they said as long as it didn't latch on to me I would be fine.. and I am.
Anyways, don't know why I felt it necessary to share this story with you .. but just needed to get that off my chest. So THANKS!
So for this pumpkin seed brittle..
It's gone..
