It is Pumpkin time once again. What most people seem to forget about the pumpkin is that it is not just a Jack-O-Lantern. A friend of mine never used canned pumpkin, she always quartered a fresh pumpkin and cooked it down until it was mushy.

I tried doing it her way with a slow cooker, and it was all right, but give me a can any day! Why go through all that work yourself, when someone else has done it for you. Anyway here is a great recipe for pumpkin other than pie.

WARNING: In keeping with my idea of comfort food, these are not low fat!

Pumpkin Bars
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
4 eggs
2 cups pumpkin filling
2 cups sugar
1 cup oil
1 cup chopped nuts

Sift flour, baking powder and baking soda together. Stir in oil, sugar, pumpkin, and eggs, and beat well. Add nuts and pour into a greased 10 by 15 pan. Bake 350 degrees F for 25 minutes

Frosting:
1 package cream cheese 30z
3/4 stick butter
1 tablespoon milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 3/4 cups of powdered sugar

Cream the cream cheese and butter. Add remaining ingredients and mix until proper spreading consistency is reached.

Enjoy!
