Depending on how many adults, how many kids and how many leftovers you want.
A good rule of thumb is 1 to 1 1/2 pounds per person. This will allow for some leftovers. If you have guests with big appetites calculate closer to 2 pounds per person if they are big eaters or you want some leftovers. About 3/4 to 1 pound per person if your guests are more side dish eaters and would like to save room for dessert.

This Halloween we had many pumpkins to carve. After carving all of them we had a lot of seeds left over! It is usually only once a year that we get to enjoy the great pumpkin. So I decided we better take advantage of roasting the seeds.

I did try something different this time instead of the traditional roasting in the oven I roasted them in my black cast iron skillet.
