I am going to share a recipe that I love making every fall. I blame this recipe for the 30 pounds I have gained since I got married. They are so yummy!

PUMPKIN BARS

(from my mom's kitchen)

1 Cup Canola Oil

2 Cups White Sugar

4 Eggs

2 Cups Pumpkin (or 1 small can works)

2 Tsp Cinnamon

2 Cups Flour

1/2 Tsp Salt

1 Tsp Baking Soda

2 Tsp Baking Powder

Mix. Bake in a cookie sheet for 25 minutes at 350 degrees.

Let Cool.

Cream Cheese Frosting

6 oz. cream cheese

1 Tsp Almond Extract

1/2 Cup of Butter (softened - not melted)

2 Cups of Powdered Sugar

1 Tbsp of Cream or Milk

1 Tsp Vanilla

This is one of those recipes that is so easy to alter with healthier ingredients.  I use it for muffins and add wheat germ and nuts or chocolate chips, too.

ENJOY!

Please share your favorite recipe with us.
