Pumpkin Crisp

This comes to me from my old college roommate Jen. She wrote:

We had this at my scrapbook retreat. I swear, it's like a cross between pumpkin pie, pecan pie and a cobbler (served warm over Blue Bell Vanilla ice cream).... It was so yummy. Of course, how can you go wrong with 2 sticks of butter! :-)

Pumpkin Crisp

1 16 oz can of plain pumpkin
1 can evaporated milk
3 eggs
2 cups of sugar
3 tsp pumpkin spice
1 yellow cake mix
2 sticks of butter/margarine
crushed pecans

Blend pumpkin, milk, eggs, sugar and pumpkin spice together with mixer. Pour into a 9 x 13 cake pan. I spray mine with Pam first. This liquid will be runny. Spread drycake mix evenly over pumpkin mixture. Melt butter and drizzle over dry cake mix. Sprinkle generously with nuts and bake at 350 degrees for 50 - 55 minutes. Top with cool whip and/or serve over vanilla ice cream.

Woman's Day

Well apparently there are people out there actually reading this blog. I was contacted by someone from Woman's Day digital outreach team. Yeah me! They sent me a few Thanksgiving ideas to share with all of you. I am out traveling to see family myself for the holidays so I won't be able to try any of these yummy ideas myself but hopefully I will hear from some of you and what you tried. Here are the topics Jagdish shared with me:

Turkey and Stuffing done Easy

Looking for an easy Thanksgiving dinner? I found this recipe from Rachel Ray. I will say that we tried the yummy cranberry orange stuffing and it is super easy and yummy! I found the cranberry muffins at Whole Foods. They were a little hard to find but once I found them the rest was easy. I didn't try the turkey and gravy from this recipe...I like to cook the whole bird. You can click on the link above for the recipe. Let me know what you think if you give it a try. Also send me any other quick Thanksgiving recipes you might find. Happy Turkey Day!!
