Buffalo & Bleu Cheese Pepitas

It's like being a kid again.

This year, I went out and bought Halloween decorations, pumpkins and a costume.  I love dressing up for Halloween, but that's usually where it ends for celebrating for me.

I've got spiderwebs on my porch, and harvest-themed decorations all over the front of my house.  I've got six pumpkins on my front steps that are hollowed out and carved.  I'm hoping that they will be in jars as pumpkin puree next week.  I've also got some pumpkin seeds, or pepitas, that I collected up and roasted with a few different flavors.

These spicy version of pumpkin seeds incorporates hot cayenne, smoky paprika and tangy bleu cheese.  It's a savory variation that looks and tastes like chicken wings, but way healthier!
