Warm greetings to everyone here I hope everybody is doing great as for me and my family we are doing wonderfully well.

Today I made something great for my family although is little but we manage.
I made cocoyam with pumpkin seed and it turns out to be great.
I have not eat pumpkin seed before so I decided to give a try after hearing from my neighbors talking about pumpkin seed that pumpkin seed is one of the nutritious food that it also reach in protein.

My husband also said the same thing and how his mother use to prepare it for them and how they enjoy eating pumpkin seed I said okay let it not be that am stopping my husband from eating what he likes eating.

Once my cocoyam is done I will bring them down and keep them aside put my pumpkin seed in a clean pot and cook.
Why I didn't cook them together is because the pumpkin seed will be done before the cocoyam.

I cooked the pumpkin seed for 20 minutes and bring them down I will allow the pumpkin seed to get cool before I will now use my spoon and separate the pumpkin food from the shell.
