Sweet & Spicy Toasted Pumpkin Seeds

While staring at some tired-looking pumpkins on my mantel (or does it just appear that way because Halloween has past??), I remembered our super easy, super yummy recipe for both sweet and spicy toasted pumpkin seeds, and knew I had to pull it out of the archives to share today.  If you find yourself with a few pumpkins you’re tired of looking at, or simply want a recipe for a great festive snack with some pepitas, you’re in luck with this one.

MKR originally whipped up both batches while craving something with a mouth-on-fire and cinnamon-sweet effect.  And while the spicy version is definitely calling my name, having both options in front of you is nothing short of addicting…something you’ll quickly come to find out.  As you saw on MKR’s snapchat (username WAITINGONMARTHA) this week, she’s already whipped up her batch of both sweet and spicy.  Cheers, Kat

How to cook mussels 2 ways via Waiting on Martha Mussels recipe via Waiting on Martha Mussels: 2 Ways via Waiting on Martha Roasted Tomato & White Wine Garlic MusselsCoconut, Cilantro & Serrano Mussels via Waiting on Martha #recipe

Pour me a glass of vino with a dozen white wine mussels and crispy shoestring fries and you have one happy lady. This accompaniment has always been a favorite of mine, and I knew it was high time to get to work in the kitchen to put my own twist on these delicious little mollusks. 

The best thing about mussels is the fact that you really can’t get them wrong.  But I’ll admit, I was a bit apprehensive about trying my hand at them at home for some reason.  To my delight, cooking mussels is actually super easy because they serve as the perfect vessel to carry any flavor you’re craving. Really, all you need is a soupy broth and tons of crusty bread to soak it all up, and your dish will be a success.  Promise. 

As you saw a peek last night on Instagram, I brought together some of my favorite flavor combinations to create my two new favorite ways to cook mussels. The first recipe has roasted tomatoes soaking in a white wine sauce with garlic, basil and shallots.  White wine mussels will always be a favorite, and this blend hits the spot. And our second rendition is just as tasty; a creamy coconut milk and butter sauce with cilantro and serrano pepper and hint of lime. The creaminess proves to be the perfect counter to the spice of the pepper, and the result is just divine.  Truly, MKR

Happy Halloween! If you’re anything like me, you’ve procrastinated a bit this year (the holiday falls on a Saturday after all) and may need a little last-minute inspiration to pull together a festive spread.  

Earlier this week, we rounded up several must-try ideas for your haunting party this weekend—a great place to start.  But really can we just talk about the beyond-wickedly chic Halloween party that MKR styled a few years ago?!  Definitely worth pulling out of the archives to share again in time for a little last-minute party inspiration. 

It is indeed possible to put a chic, stylish spin on this holiday, and MKR shows us how it’s done.  A blend of silvers and greys mix in with black accents to create a color palette that is as beautiful as it is spooky.  Candles upon candles upon candles, moss and fun little accessories complete the design, though the grub and libations take the cake in my opinion.  Her recipe for the perfect candy apples and warm bourbon punch may just be everything you need to impress your guests tonight. Leave all of that kitschy orange-and-black everything behind!  Cheers, Kat
