| How to Roast Pumpkin Seeds Posted: 31 Oct 2020 05:00 PM PDT Instead of throwing out the pumpkin seeds after a pumpkin carving session, try roasting them as a delicious snack instead! Rinse the seeds under cold running water before drying them and baking them in the oven until they're golden brown. You can add any sort of seasonings you desire, turning your pumpkin seeds into a spicy, sweet, or simply flavorful treat. [Edit]Removing the Seeds from the Pumpkin - Remove the top of the pumpkin to access the seeds. If you haven't already done so, use a sharp cutting knife to cut a circle around the pumpkin's stem. Make sure the lid is wide enough for your hand to fit through comfortably. Remove the lid once you're done cutting it.[1]
- Use a large spoon to scoop the seeds from the pumpkin. The bigger the spoon, the more seeds you'll be able to remove at once. Scrape the sides of the pumpkin to loosen the seeds and pulp, taking time to scoop out as many seeds as possible.[2]
- You can also use your hands or an object from a pumpkin carving kit.
- Place all of the seeds and pulp in a large bowl. As you're scooping out the seeds, place the seeds and pulp in a bowl big enough to hold everything. Remove large pieces of pulp from the seeds as you're placing them in the bowl, but don't worry about separating every single string.[3]
- If you're removing the seeds from a smaller pumpkin, you may not need as large of a bowl.
[Edit]Washing and Drying the Seeds - Set the seeds in a colander and rinse them under cold water. This will help loosen the pulp and strings from the seeds, making it easier to clean them. Hold the colander full of seeds under the running water, using your hands to move the seeds around gently.[4]
- Pull the seeds out of the colander and place them on a towel. Once the seeds are mostly clean, take them out of the colander and set them on a clean kitchen towel. If there are any big strings still attached to the seeds, pull these off if possible.[5]
- You can also place the seeds on paper towels, though they may stick.
- Pat the seeds dry using the kitchen towel. Spread the seeds out on the towel and gently blot the seeds to ensure they're as dry as possible. Place the seeds in a bowl once they're dry.[6]
- Instead of blotting the seeds, you can also shake them in the colander to remove excess water.
- If the seeds are still damp when they go in the oven, they won't roast well due to the moisture.
[Edit]Adding Seasonings - Toss the seeds with oil or butter. Once the clean, dry seeds are in a bowl, pour cooking oil or melted butter into the bowl so that the seeds are lightly covered. Use a large spoon to mix the seeds around with the oil or butter so that each seed is covered evenly.[7]
- Use canola oil, olive oil, or vegetable oil.
- How much oil or butter you use will depend on how many pumpkin seeds you're roasting, but it's best to start with a small amount—you can always add more.
- Add your desired seasonings. These could be seasonings such as Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper—whichever seasonings are your favorite. Sprinkle the desired amount of seasoning into the bowl of pumpkin seeds.[8]
- Experiment with the type and amount of seasonings, sprinkling in small amounts before adding more.
- For a simple yet tasty flavor, just add salt and pepper to your pumpkin seeds.
- Consider adding seasonings like chili powder, Cajun seasoning, or crab seasoning for a stronger flavor.
- Season with sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg for a sweet snack.
- Stir the pumpkin seed mixture thoroughly using a large spoon. Stir gently, making sure the pumpkin seeds are evenly coated with oil or butter and your desired seasonings. If you notice that many seeds don't have seasoning on them, feel free to sprinkle a little bit more into the mixture.[9]
[Edit]Baking the Seeds - Preheat the oven to and prepare a sheet pan. Lining your baking sheet with parchment paper will prevent the seeds from sticking the best, though you can also use aluminum foil. Once the oven is preheated, you're ready to roast your seeds.[10]
- Spread the seeds out evenly on the baking sheet. Pour the seasoned pumpkin seeds onto the lined baking sheet, using a spoon to spread them out. Try to make sure they aren't clumped together and are laying flat so they roast evenly.[11]
- If your pumpkin seeds end up layered on top of one another, try baking them in two smaller batches to promote even roasting.
- Bake the seeds for 20-30 minutes, stirring them occasionally. Remove the baking sheet from the oven every 10 minutes and move the seeds around using a wooden spoon or other kitchen utensil—this will help ensure each seed roasts evenly. Once the seeds look browned, they're done![12]
- Eat the seeds warm or let them cool to room temperature. Once the seeds have been removed and the oven is turned off, use a spatula to scoop the seeds into a bowl or other serving dish. You can eat them while they're still warm from the oven, or let them sit for a few minutes until they're cool.[13]
- Store the seeds in an airtight container for roughly 1 week. If you want to save your roasted pumpkin seeds, put them in an airtight container such as a mason jar, plastic bag, or piece of tupperware. The seeds will stay fresh for a week or so at room temperature, or you can place them in the freezer for up to a month.[14]
- If placing the seeds in the freezer, they should be in an airtight container as well.
- Write the date on the container so you remember when the seeds were roasted.
[Edit]Things You'll Need - Cutting knife
- Large spoon
- Large bowl
- Colander
- Towel
- Oil or butter
- Seasonings
- Sheet pan
- Parchment paper or aluminum foil
- Airtight container (optional)
This video shows you a different way to roast pumpkin seeds. - Place newspaper over your table surfaces for easier cleanup.
- The pumpkin seeds can also be added to a salad or soup.
- Add your seasonings after roasting the seeds, if desired.
- Try using a toaster oven for smaller amounts of pumpkin seeds.

| How to Change a Name With the Credit Bureaus Posted: 31 Oct 2020 09:00 AM PDT If your legal name changes because of a marriage, divorce or other court order, it is wise to contact the credit bureaus directly to notify them of the change. When you update your name with your creditors, they will automatically notify the credit reporting agencies. But this can take a lot of time, sometimes up to six months or more. This could delay any loan application process or other credit history review. Instead, be proactive and notify the credit reporting agencies yourself of your name change. [Edit]Notifying the Credit Reporting Agencies - Contact all 3 credit bureaus with your updated information. When you change your name with your creditors and with Social Security, the credit agencies should be automatically notified of the change. However, it's still a good idea to send them a letter informing them of the change.[1]
- Send your information to Equifax at P.O. Box 740256, Atlanta, GA 30374
- Get in touch with TransUnion LLC P.O. Box 2000, Chester, PA 19022
- Let Experian know about your name change. Send information to National Consumer Assistance Center, P.O. Box 2002, Allen, TX 75013.
- Include relevant information in the letter. The credit reporting agencies will need specific documentation in order to process your name change. In addition to your previous and new names, they will need your contact information and legal verification of your name change.[2]
- Tell them your name. In your letter, let the agency know your full previous full name as well as your new full name.
- Inform them of a new address. If your address has changed, let the agency know both your old and new legal address.
- Include your social security number on the letter. To make sure they are changing the information for the correct person, include your social security number on the letter. This number separates you from any other person out there with your same name.
- Enclose proof of your legal name change. Provide in your envelope any legal documentation you have concerning your name change. This documentation may include a marriage license, official divorce papers or other court order.
- Get your credit report. Obtain a copy of your credit report as a follow up to your name change request with the credit bureaus. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), you are entitled to receive a free credit report once every 12 months. You can also purchase a copy of your credit report from the credit reporting agencies.[3].
- Visit AnnualCreditReport.com or call 1-877-322-8228. You can also download the Annual Credit Report Request Form and mail it to Annual Credit Report Request Service, P.O. Box 105281, Atlanta, GA 30348-5281.
- If you have already received your free credit report within the past 12 months, you can purchase a copy from Equifax for $39.95. This includes your credit history from all three credit reporting agencies and your FICO score.[4]
- You can purchase a credit report from one of the credit reporting agencies for $19.95 from myFICO.[5]
- Understand how a name change affects your credit history. Changing your name should not change your credit history. Your credit should just continue to build in your new name. Your old and new names should be included on your credit report.
- When your last name changes after a marriage or divorce, your credit reports automatically update after you notify your creditors of your new name. As creditors update their records, they send the changes to the credit reporting agencies.
- If you change your whole name, it is possible that creditors will have trouble verifying your credit history. This is because credit reporting agencies identify you not just with your Social Security number, but also with your date of birth and current and previous mailing addresses. When applying for credit under your new name, be sure to provide full and complete identifying information so the credit reporting agencies can link you to your credit history.
[Edit]Notifying Creditors of Name Change - Get a new Social Security card. Do this first because you can use it to officially change your name on other forms of identification. Only your name will change, not your social security number. You will need to include proof of your age, identity, and U.S. citizenship or immigration status.[6]
 - Download the Application for a New Social Security Card from the Social Security Administration.
- Provide proof of your age, such as your birth certificate, a U.S. hospital record of your birth (created at the time of birth), a religious record established before age five showing your age or date of birth, your passport, or a final adoption decree (the adoption decree must show that the birth information was taken from the original.
- Include proof of identity, such as a U.S. driver's license, a U.S. State-issued non-driver identity card or a U.S. passport.
- Include evidence of U.S. citizenship, such as a U.S. birth certificate, a U.S. Passport, a consular report of birth, a certificate of citizenship or a certificate of naturalization.
- If you are not a U.S. citizen, include an unexpired document issued to you by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) showing your immigration status, such as Form I-551, I-94, or I-766. International students or exchange visitors must also submit Form I-20, DS-2019 or a letter from their school or employer authorizing their employment (F-1) or sponsorship (J-1).
- Change your name on your driver's license. Once you have your new Social Security card, you can use it to change your name on your driver's license. Visit the website of your states Department of Motor Vehicles to learn the process for changing your name on your driver's license. You will likely need to bring your social security card, your old driver's license, your birth certificate, and legal verification of your name change, such as a marriage license, official divorce papers or other court order.
- Change your name with your employer. Your employer's human resources department will assist you with changing your name on your work documents. You need to do this so that your paychecks and pay stubs reflect your new name. Other work documents, such as your life insurance and retirement plan documents, should also be updated with your new name.
- Update your name on your financial accounts. Notify all of your banks and creditors of your new name. When you notify your creditors of your new name, they will automatically notify the credit bureaus. Your credit history under your old name will not be erased or changed. Rather, your credit will just continue to build under your new name.
- To update your name on your bank accounts, you may need to visit your bank in person. Bring your social security number, driver's license or passport, and legal verification of your name change, such as a marriage license, divorce decree or court order. Change you name on your credit cards, debit cards and checks. If your name has changed because you got married or divorced, you may need to add or remove a spouse from ownership on your accounts.
- Notify other creditors of your name change, including issuers of a car loan, line of credit, mortgage, credit cards and other credit accounts.
[Edit]Fixing Errors on Your Credit Report - Contact the credit bureau. If you receive your credit report and you find that your name is incorrectly reported, contact them right away. Send a letter by certified mail, return receipt requested so that you can track it. Include copies of all of your supporting documents, including your identification, Social Security card and legal verification of your name change.[7]
- Send the letter to Equifax at Equifax Information Services, LLC, P.O. Box 740256, Atlanta, GA 30374.
- Send the letter to TransUnion at P.O. Box 2000, Chester, PA 19022-2000.
- Send the letter to Experian at P.O. Box 2002, Allen, TX 75013.
- Contact the agency that reporting the inaccurate information. If you have any inaccuracy on your credit report, contact the creditor or other agency who reported the incorrect information. Work with them to update their documentation to accurately reflect your new legal name. Notify them that you have contacted the credit bureaus to report the inaccuracy.[8]
