are you fixing this for Thanksgiving? sounds good!
I thought all veggies were healthy?
Mom: Yes, I made these this evening to have on hand for company coming tomorrow.
Jessica: Some are healthier than others! Consider corn vs. broccoli...
Mmmm . . . sound YUM! And like it would be very easy to make (even the frosting!). From one non-cook to another, I thank you. :)
Oh, and PS: I've decided you have become quite the blogging gal. You've settled right in, haven't you? So glad -- it's fun to visit you in your space over here.
Christianne, thanks; we non-culinary-types need to help each other out! This recipe is EASY and makes you look like you're a pro. ;-)
What time should I swing by on Thursday? I can go for about an hour. I was thinking some time after dinner? To say hello and maybe grab a pumpkin bar =)
Hi Yvette... glad to see you here!
I'm thinking about naming these bars Bumpkey's Pumpkin Bars. What do you think? Too corny?
I'm excited that you can come by. Why don't you stop in about 3:30 or 4:00? We should be slicing Gee Gee's famous pumpkin pie by then. Can't guarantee there will be any pumpkin bars left, since my out-of-town guests start rolling in tomorrow. =D
