Chili Lime Pumpkin Seeds
Last night was pumpkin carving at our house,
fabulous company
and quite possibly the most random and festive snacks.
Grilled corn on the cob, from the farmer’s market
and prepared by the Grillmaster himself
hot apple cider (also from the farmer’s market, spiced up with cinnamon and nutmeg)
and pie.
Told you it was random 😉
I actually ate corn last night, too. It’s never been one of my faves, but there’s something to be said about fresh corn, hot off the grill, and seasoned with lime juice, chili powder, jalapeno marinade, a little butter, and lots of cayenne.
It made me feel like I was walking around the street fair 🙂
After our random meal of justice, it was pumpkin carving time along with the Halloween station on Pandora.
The Pilot carved a dragon:
and I rolled with a cat bat.
Chili Lime Pumpkin Seeds
Of course, we roasted the seeds, and munched them while we watched a movie.
Chili Lime Pumpkin Seeds
Ingredients
- 2 T melted butter
- chili powder
- garlic powder
- sea salt
- cayenne
- lime zest + juice from 1 lime
- pumpkin seeds, removed from pumpkin guts, NOT rinsed
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Toss the seeds in the butter to coat and spread evenly across cookie sheets.
- Season well and bake for 10 minutes.
- Flip, re-season and bake for 10 minutes more. [<---ours slightly burned, so I’d prob bring the temp down a little, unless you like them like that!]
I love Halloween <3
So does Bella….
This year, she’s a beautiful butterfly.
# of treats it took to get her in costume and not give me the stink eye or cower the entire time: 3
Hope those of you who are celebrating enjoy a safe, happy and healthy Halloween!
I’m off to teach Zumba for a health event at a high school… taking the Flip cam with me 😉

Ahhhh Bella looks so cute. Love your skeleton shirt too 🙂 Looks like such a fun evening!
Your Halloween shirt rocks!
She is too cute! And I love your shirt – I actually had a friend announce her pregnancy that way at a Halloween party this weekend 🙂
Oh my gosh, your shirt is ADORABLE, Gina!!! Precious. And that last picture of Bella is simply hysterical.
That is fantastic!!! Love bella’s custom and your T-shirt 😀
LOVE Bella’s costume! And very impressed that you only needed three treats 🙂
LOVE Bella’s costume! So cute!!! I’m dressing my puppy as a pumpkin because that’s what I always call her. That skeleton shirt is so cute too!!! Love love love.
I love your shirt!!!! I had my little guy in a zebra costume and it took about 8 smarties to get a good picture before he screamed loud enough to take the head off… ha. Happy Halloween!!
that’s the part bella hates, too- she could wear the dress all day, but the hat with antennae is not her fave
Oh my gosh your shirt is so cute and so is Bella’s costume!
My sister crocheted her cat a candy corn costume (she’s an all black cat so she looks funny wearing a sweater). However her cat has found a way to wriggle out of it.
going to echo every other commenter here: adorable shirt!
that corn combo sounds awesome. gonna have to try that soon. i’ve been craving corn on the cob but haven’t gone for it yet and usually just do salt + butter. this’ll be in the back of my mind till i do it!!
Love the shirt! Just think, next halloween you will have a cute little baby girl dressed up!
Bella is adorable! Love that costume!
Happy Halloween to you! xoxo <3
Gina, Bella looks so adorable! And like she may hate her life a little bit 🙂 I used to stick my boston terrier pups in cute little boker jackets, and they’d refuse to move! Don’t know why dressing the dogs is so much fun… Love your shirt!
she was SO mad. i couldn’t post the first pic i took because i could see the anger in her eyes
Love that shirt! And your pumpkins look great. Bella’s costume is adorable! The seeds sound great…may have to roast some up tonight.
You and The Pilot are so creative! I’m lucky if my pumpkins eyes are somewhat kinda sorta in the same area of the pumpkin face.
Gina, you look way cute in your maternity skeleton t-shirt! Bella=cute costume, it really suits her! What a fun Sunday-eve-Halloween for you guys!
So fun! Love Bella in her costume. Super cute!
OMG – your shirt and Bella’s costume – both SO cute!!! The pumpkins look fantastic – you guys have got some crazy good carving skills!
what a cute shirt!! your pumpkins are impressive 🙂
Bella looks so cute! I wish — it would take a ribeye to get my dogs into a costume.
your shirt is by the far the cutest thing i’ve seen in awhile:)
and thank you sooo much for putting your pumpkin seed recipe, can’t wait to make some!! yum
Oh Bella is too adorable! And so are you, I love that skeleton shirt!
Omigosh your shirt is so cute! What a find! And next year you will have a little lady to dress up too along with Bella! That corn on the cob looks delicious! I’m not a big corn fan either, but it looks kind of amazing all seasoned up like that! And you guys did such an amazing job pumpkin carving! They look awesome! (As does Bella… she is so, so cute!)

Love your short and Bella’s costume! My dog is pretty tolerant of her coats and sweaters, but she will NOT wear anything on her head. I suppose you can only ask so much of them. haha
*shirt
Oh my gosh Bella hahaha <3 How cute is she!
I LOVE your shirt! And I love Bella’s costume. No amount of treats would get my dog to don a Halloween costume.
Oh Noooooooooooo!!!! Bella is so ca-ute! You look like you swallowed a basketball!!! Your so tiny everywhere – you look amazeballs as you would say!!! – Perhaps a tee shirt with your belly as the pumpkin?!
Oh my gosh!! Love the shirt with the pink bow! How adorable! Of course Bella looks adorable too! 🙂
OMG! LOL at Bella in her costume! Love it! Your shirt is awesome, too! You guys are MASTER pumpkin carvers! Whoa!
I love that you put a “Latina twist” on your recipes. Chilli-Lime anything sounds good to me! Also, I so jealous that you still have corn on the cob! We are long past corn season in Minnesota!
Mmm those pumpkin seeds look so good! And Bella is ridiculously precious 🙂
Oh Bella!
SO cute…
and the corn and pumpkin seeds look delish!
Sounds like a great night! Bella looks adorable! 😀
After a miserable weekend (I’m in NJ and we were hit by that awful snowstorm!), your Halloween post made my day!
Too many things to address here:
Your skeleton shirt if freakin’ awesome.
That pie made my mouth water.
Bella is an ADORABLE butterfly! Made me laugh and cry at the same time. I remember you saying that Bells hates the antennaes. (Chubby would paw them off after a minute!).
She looks so precious. 🙂
Happy Halloween, Gina + family!
aww i remember chubby’s bee costume! they’re cute little insect friends 🙂
1. LOVE your shirt. That is too adorable.
2. You both have some pumpkin carving skills. Especially the pilot!
I positively love your shirt!
Oh goodness, I love your shirt!!! How cute and fun! 🙂 I think I may need to plan my future pregnancy (like, five years down the road) so that I, too, can rock such a fantastic shirt for Halloween. LOVE IT!!!
I LOVE your shirt 🙂 And Bella looks adorable but so ashamed hahaha.
Your shirt is amazing! I’m not pregnant but I kinda want to wear that shirt anyway! Bella is rocking that butterfly costume!
Love the shirt!! I’m not preggo, but I gotta ask– where did you get it? Ya know, just for future reference 😉 Happy Halloween to you, Pilot and baby! 🙂
iron-on from ebay, maternity tee from ebay
I’m loving your shirt as well – where did you find it???
the iron-on is from ebay, the shirt itself is a plain maternity tee from target
Bella is looking adorable 🙂
Great job on the pumpkin carving…you two have some knife skills..nice!
And the corn sounds delish and so do the seeds. I can never get the seeds just right when I try…I have to try your recipe. Thanks for sharing.
