YUM-O!!!

So, in my quest to become something more than a HouseWife Rookie, I am planning on cooking more this fall! Since I will be home now as my full-time job, there is really no reason for me not to actually cook more. And by more, I mean more than pouring milk into our cereal bowls. The funny thing is, even though I NEVER, hardly EVER cook, I do love cooking when I have the money and the time. I still may not have the money, but I will certainly have the time. I am a LOVER of food...and GOOD food, and ever since I can remember I have loved watching cooking show! Even as a young child I enjoyed watching Natalie Dupree and Julia Child on GPTV. So, I have decided that I am going to choose a cookbook to dedicate myself  to work through. Then, I will post recipes and pictures to share with those of you who have decided to check out my humble blog!

My Friend Brooke's Pumpkin Crunch
Celebrate the beginning of fall with this yummy dessert!!!!

You Need:
1 (15 oz) Can of pumpkin
1/2 t. Cinnamon

3 Eggs

1lg. Can of evaporated milk
1 Box of yellow cake mix
1 1/2 sticks of melted butter
Chopped pecans (optional, and added to the top half way through the baking process)

.

• Sprinkle the top with the yellow cake mix

 There is a recipe for a topping, but I didn't have those ingredients so I made homemade vanilla cinnamon whipped cream!

Brooke's Topping:
1 (8oz) cream cheese
1 (8oz) cool whip
3/4 box powdered sugar


My topping:
Heavy Whipping cream

vanilla
3T. sugar
1t. cinnamon
With an electric mixer whip the cream until it becomes stiff, slowly adding the rest of the ingredients while beating the cream! Don't beat it too much unless you want some tasty butter :)
HAPPY FALL Y'ALL!!!!!!!
