When I was younger(not that I am old now :)), I mean college days, things that I used to carry in my purse except wallet and cell phone would be lipstick, a compact, a small little mirror, a comb, a few extra hair pins and clips, kajal. Touch ups were required every now and then. Now things that I carry in my purse are 1 or 2 bananas, an apple, Burt's bee lipbalm, and some trail mix . I have changed over the years, well for good. I go without makeup most of the time and concentrate on my health and well being. The way I look dosent bother me anymore. I know if I keep eating well and dont take my youth for granted, I will always look good. My Mom is my biggest inspiration. She is 58 and believe me her skin is silky smooth and she has almost no wrinkles! Yes, she has a very good eating habit. I want to look and feel beautiful too when I get to that age :). 30 years is not too far away!
Ok, coming back to the topic, I always get my trail mix from Whole Foods Trail Mix Bar. The other day I saw roasted pumpkin seeds that tasted really good. That reminded me of my dearest Grandmom who used to collect the seeds and roast them and use them as a snack or put in other vegeterian dishes. I wanted to make my own roasted Pumpkin seeds right then! So I got this pumpkin, took out the seeds, roasted them and added to my fav trail mix combo. I cooked the pumpkin in Indian style for my Hubby who loves pumpkins.
Pumpkin seeds are very healthy and full of nutrition. Here are the nutrition facts.
