Just got a call from Henry & Karen Chernuka from outside of Rycroft.

After 75 years, they are putting the farm life behind them and moving into the retirement phase of their life plans.

They missed the deadline for the July 31st issue of the Northern Horizon, but were needing two grain bins to be sold and moved before August 22nd, so I told them I would put them on our FaceBook site and see if we could move them for them.

So we have two 14ft Twister grain bins to move by August 22nd. They are 2,000 bushel units on concrete pads and they are asking $1,500 or best offer.

If you are interested, call Karen at 780-402-0877

Crunchy Pumpkin Seed Brittle: A Low-Sugar Twist on a Classic

Your typical brittle candy is made with sugar, water, and nuts—peanut brittle being one of the most popular varieties. It is well-known for its irresistible sweetness and satisfying crunch. But I have been craving something a little different lately—a treat that still has that satisfying crunch but with a twist.

This pumpkin seed brittle is healthy take on the classic, offering a flavorful, low-sugar alternative that is just as delicious. Made with the goodness of raw pumpkin seeds (pepitas), a touch of honey, and a hint of cinnamon, this brittle is a bit more unique than the traditional toffee-like versions.

I love how the olive oil adds richness and the oats lend a subtle chewiness, all balanced with a sprinkle of salt. It is the perfect balance of sweet, salty, and crunchy—without all the sugar. Whether you are looking for a healthier treat or just a new candy to share, this pumpkin seed brittle will satisfy your cravings in a way you might not expect.

According to my calculations, each serving (2 pieces of brittle) has 131 calories.
