Pumpkin Pie Cake

My ultimate fall pumpkin dessert follows.  Just thinking of you all!


Pumpkin Pie Cake

Preheat oven to 350°.

Dump all these things in a blender and blend on low just until thoroughly mixed (or use mixer):
4 eggs
12oz. can evaporated milk
29oz.canned pumpkin (or two small 15oz. cans)
1 ¼ cup sugar
2 ½ tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/8 tsp. ground ginger (optional)
1/8 tsp. ground cloves (optional)

Pour into ungreased 9x13 pan, preferably metal.

Sprinkle these 3 things on top of pumpkin mixture in this order:
-1 box yellow cake mix, dry (I sometimes use 1 ½ boxes when I make it for my husband…it’s his favorite part!).
-1 cup chopped pecans. Lightly pat down pecans so not sticking out above cake mix to prevent over-browning.
-¾ cup melted butter.

Bake in center of oven for 1 hour.
Cool to room temperature or serve cold from the refrigerator with a scoop of Cool Whip on top.  Store covered in fridge.

Snow Day EASY Peanut Butter Cookies Recipe



1 egg, beaten with fork
1 cup sugar
1 cup peanut butter

(That's right, 3 things, nothing else!)

Preheat: 350 degrees. Stir together. Put balls of dough on baking sheet, about 16. Press criss-cross with fork. Bake about 15 minutes or until cracked appearance and starting to brown.

I think it tastes like the inside of a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup.  Andrew and Linc love to make and eat these! So easy!
