Thanks to some smart coupon shopping, I was able to get packs of roasted sunflower seeds for 15 cents each and stocked up since we occasionally like to snack on them. Now that they are sitting in my pantry, I’ve been wondering what I can do with them other than just snacking on them plain.

Here are my ideas so far:

• Sprinkle the sunflower seeds on salads for some extra crunch.
• Add them to muffin batter. I think it would go really well with some pumpkin or cranberry muffins.
• Make some trail mix out of sunflower seeds, dried fruit and dry cereal.

I’d appreciate any other ideas and any recipes you may have that include sunflower seeds.
