The time of the jack-o-lantern has arrived, so you scoop and scoop away at those insides of the pumpkin in the process of creating one. Don't let those innards go to waste! Here are a few things you can do with them after you've finished carving your pumpkin.<\/p>\n

1. Roast the Pumpkin Seeds<\/strong><\/h2>\n

All you need to do for this trick is set the oven to about 400 degrees and let the seeds saturate the heat for about 25 minutes. Add these goodies to your favorite trail mix and enjoy the energizing and regenerating benefits of the seeds of this seasonal fruit.<\/p>\n

2. Butter it Up!<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Use your crockpot or a butter maker and simmer the seeds. Put them in the pot along with one stick of butter and relish in the flavor of fall throughout the season. Add the flavorful butter to pancakes, toast, and bagels and enjoy!<\/p>\n

3. Create a Body Scrub<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Mix a bit of coconut oil, sugar, pumpkin seeds, and spices together to establish an amazing all-over body scrub. Compared to the price of costly options, why not make the most out of what you already have? Add sea salt for extra rough areas.<\/p>\n

4. Pies and Cheesecakes<\/strong><\/h2>\n

There’s no denying the love for pumpkin pie during the holiday season, but you can take it to the next level with a full-fledged cheesecake. Whether you want it thin or New-York-style thick, you can use some of the pumpkin remnants and a splash of cinnamon to make an especially delicious dessert.<\/p>\n

5. Make Soup<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Pumpkin soup may be unusual, but it is a healthy addition to any meal. Find a recipe online that uses fresh pumpkin for a nutrient-filled dish.  <\/p>\n
