Thankful

I was going to write a post listing the many things for which I'm thankful. Most of those things are given though - family, health, having enough.

Instead, I give you the easy and yummy dessert that I've made for tonight (think of us tonight, crammed in for dinner with 50 or so family members), and a song E2's Kg class performed at the Kg Thanksgiving Program yesterday.

I don't personally know Linda, but her Pumpkin Crunch rocks. This is a recipe my Aunt forwarded to me via email, I guess because she enjoyed it. There was no explanation with the recipe. Really though, it needs no introduction:

Linda’s Pumpkin Crunch

1 package (box) yellow cake mix
1 can (15oz) solid pack pumpkin
1can (12oz) evaporated milk
3 large eggs
1 ½ c sugar
1tsp cinnamon
½ tsp salt
½ c chopped pecans
1 c butter
whipped topping

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease bottom of 9 X 13 pan.

Combine pumpkin, evaporated milk, eggs, sugar, cinnamon, and salt in large bowl. Pour into 9 X 13 pan. Sprinkle dry cake mix evenly over pumpkin mixture. Top with pecans. Drizzle melted butter over pecans.

Bake at 350 degrees for 50-55 minutes, or until golden brown.

Cool. Serve chilled. Top with whipped topping when served.

The Thanksgiving Program featured the Kg version of the First Thanksgiving. The conclusion of the program was a feast for the pilgrims and indians. They feasted on popcorn and blueberry muffins - who knew?
