Current Shame-Inducing Guilty Pleasure:
Pumpkin dessert
I told I would share this recipe.
It is sooo good.
CRUST:
1 Box of yellow cake mix (Reserve 1 cup and set aside)
Add to the cake mix 1 melted stick of butter or margarine, 1 beaten egg, and ½ cup of chopped walnuts. Mix well. Spread mixture in a 9x13 greased baking pan.
FILLING:
Mix together: 1 large can of pumpkin, 4 beaten eggs, ½ cup of brown sugar, ½ cup sugar, 2/3 cup of Evaporated milk, 2 ½ tsp of cinnamon, 1 tsp of nutmeg, ¼ tsp salt. Spread the filling over the crust.
TOPPING:
Mix together until crumbly: the reserved 1 cup of cake mix, ½ cup sugar, ½ cup of walnuts, ½ stick of softened butter or margarine. Crumble the topping over the filling.
Bake @ 350 for 50-60 minutes. Cool and serve with whipped cream on top.
(I have had better luck reducing the temp to 325 to avoid over browning the bottom)
Believe me, you will want to write it down!

How did your December days add up?
601 days....Gee.... I'm in awe! :)
ReplyDeleteOh, and I love that Fire on the Mountain pic on the side bar! :)
Good luck with LBM. It is a tough thing which I haven't got around to enforcing with darling daughter yet. I am such a sucker when I am tired at night....sure, you can sleep by Mommy.....zonk. My thought last night when I was suckered again was one day she won't want to be by my side when she sleeps.....
ReplyDeleteCan you tell I am avoiding being tough on this issue to dear hubby's dismay?
If you add in more cross training, would you actually take a day off from running? :)
ReplyDeleteYour December sounds great! I hope LBM makes the move soon to his own bed! December was good for me. Relaxing, rejuvinating and great running weather. Looking forward to following your 2012.
ReplyDeleteIt's like Kara took the words out of my mouth! That dessert sounds amazing. I love pumpkin. I want to know the status of the 100 miler too!
