Diana -

I've used pumkin seed oil -- mostly for salad dressings (mixed with cider vinegar). This can be used for a regular green salad, but it's also great tossed with pasta and vegetables for a light summer meal. It's a relatively guiltless addition, as the oil contains plenty of the vitamins A, E, C and K.

I've also heard of the oil being used in cakes and other baked goods, but have never tried it myself.

Hope this is information you can use! http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/wink.gif
