When you don't have pumpkin seed butter, make your own! While you're at it, make it even more specialΒ with the addition of coconut! This little spreadable gem was the last pumpkin recipe I was going to share last year, but time ran out! The recipe is actually from June of 2015 though. Sad, crying, pumpkin neglect! I guess pumpkin seed butter isn't technically seasonal, but for some reason, I felt it was somehow wrong to post it in the off-season.

I'm actually not feeling as pumpkin crazy as last year. I'm just giving you old pumpkin recipes I had to share with only this lovely bread as something newly created. I'm always surprising you with all those old recipes I tell you about in my stockpile! Good thing! I really don't have time (or the right access) to be cooking anything new right now :/ It's making me sad. I think I should submit a request to abstain from chemistry if I use my cooking and recipe development as a substitute! You know cooking is a science and chemical reactions are always happening!

That will be my fall-back plan. You know I'm even taking a chemistry for non-majors class. It's not General Chemistry I and II. It's "Chemistry of Life". Which actually is general chemistry, organic chemistry, and biochemistry all wrapped into ONE semester. My professor said we're just scratching the surface of it all....but that is not the case. The material is pretty in-depth and the only things that will be factored into our final grade are our mid-term and final :O It's...rather horrifying! This class was one of the options for the chemistry prerequisite for my major (Public Health), no it's a necessary evil...But really, can I just cook instead?

This may not count as chemistry credit considering it's only 3 ingredients, but maybe... What if I ditched the whole public health thing and went for food science? No! That's an extremely intense and difficult major! Haha! I love the actual public health courses I've been taking this semester. Just Principles of Public Health and Healthcare Systems, but both are fantastic (and 3-hour lecture classes, but that's the type of teaching style I like!). The research class I'm taking isn't under the public health major, but it's research in the disciples of science and medicine. So guess what I'm doing my research paper on? CELIAC DISEASE! I'll be cranking out 10 pages of autoimmune perfection πŸ˜‰

So tell me:

+ What did you major/ double major/ minor in?

+ Some many rambles today, but what did you find to be the most helpful way to study for a difficult course while in college?

    I tried pumpkin seed butter a few years ago and was surprised how strong and earthy it was. I quite liked it though, but I bet the coconut in this recipe helps to lighten it up a little. Such a cool idea.

    I can feel myself getting healthier just reading about this butter. Looks yummy too! So...would being a food science major involve a lot of chemistry? It sounds like a great choice for you, but then public health does too. OMG don't ask me about college, what a disaster. I'm allergic to classrooms, they make my brain turn off. πŸ˜€ Your paper will rock so hard, I'm excited for you!

    Your research paper sounds perfect for you. I call that a result! LOL!

    I did a BA in education, focusing on SEN (Special Educational Needs), plus I also did English Language, with English Lit, Sociology, and Psychology as my 'side quests'! I would love to do a degree in Linguistics - in fact, I wish I'd done that first - but practicality needs to take precedence, and quite apart from not having the time to do another degree, really, at my age, I'm not sure it would have any value, other than to give me a sense of self-satisfaction!

    As for your p-seed butter - it looks fantastic. Can't quite make up my mind whether it's Loki green, or Slytherin! Maybe it could be both!

    Have you ever had pumpkin seed oil? It's very much a thing here, and I have to tell that it knocks the socks off sesame! Plus it is a beautiful rich, deep green colour. If you haven't come across it but fancy trying it, you might find it in Eastern European supermarkets, if you have such things there. πŸ™‚

    Why have I never thought to make pumpkin seed butter before? I can almost taste how amazing it is just through the pics. Added to my must-try VERY soon list!

Perfect tostones require the unripe green plantains (got mine from @theboysfarmersmarket), they're super cheap (like 20-30Β’), peel, slice, soak them in some water, lime juice, and salt, use your @gowiseusa air fryer to give them the first "fry", then get out your frustrations by smashing them into flat discs with a tostonera or a heavy mug, toss them back in the air fryer to finish getting golden and crispy! Serve with an extra pinch of flaky salt and salsa dips of choice! πŸ‘Œ
