Pumpkin Crunch

By -

I got this recipe from my friend Megan several years ago. I've never actually made it, but I've been at several events where this is served and its always a huge hit. Since that time of the year is coming around again... thought you'd all enjoy it!

Ingredients:
1 box of yellow cake mix (or make your own)
1 large can (28 or 29 oz.) Pumpkin
1 large can (10 or 12oz.) evaporated milk
3 eggs
2 sticks of butter or 1 stick margarine
1 cup sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 cup chopped pecans (or your favorite nut)

Method:
Melt the butter in a small saucepan. In a separate bowl, mix pumpkin, evap. milk, eggs, sugar and cinnamon.
Line 9x13 inch pan with foil (spray with cooking spray).
Pour pumpkin mixture into pan.
Sprinkle cake mix over pumpkin mixture.
Pat down. Sprinkle nuts. Drizzle butter.
Bake for one hour @ 350 degrees (usually more)
Let it stand for at least 10 minutes before turning out on cutting board.
Its best to stand 2 hours or refrigerate to speed the cooling.
Turn cake over on cutting board. Peel off the foil.
Slice and serve with either cool whip or vanilla ice cream.

Enjoy!

One Thousandth blog post + GIVEAWAY!!

By -
This marks the  one thousandth blog post   for me !  If you added the blogging over at Jastef.net, I'm sure it would be far more, but I haven't blogged over there since Kara was a baby. For my simple mind, Blogger worked out much better for me. Sorry, husband.  I've been at this blogging thing for almost 8 years and I'm still not sick of it! I like to write {never thought I'd say that} and I really enjoy interacting with people; friends and then strangers who become friends.  Its great and its been a great way for us to share our day-to-day life with our families, since we moved.  Jason and I have been mulling around what I should do for a 1,000 blog post giveaway, just for fun. Not because I think my 1,000 post is as special to all of you as it is to me. We tossed around the idea of a Kindle, since Amazon dropped the price, but it was still... too much for me. We settled on a fun idea. You get to pick the final result, so read on and then be sure to l

keeping the sickies away

Probably like most of you Moms, I've been sick of being sick throughout the winter. Its such a fun, holiday time of year and totally stinks when you're stuck inside, with illnesses. And, if you're not a fan of getting a vaccine for every little bug that goes around, you end up realizing you have to do your research to learn how to build up the immune systems and keep your brood healthy. I'm also learning that when it comes to sickness {we're talking sickness that won't cause death}, its actually good for our bodies to learn to fight things off naturally and not constantly running to get shots or drugs to cure us from ever getting sick again {which those shots don't do anyway}.  I'm no pro and my oldest child isn't even 7 yet, so I'm definitely not posting this to teach you ladies anything. And, for those of you with older kids, feel free to leave tips for how you keep your family healthy or natural ways to fight off colds and viruses.
