Food, Fun and Friends!

Had a fun day today! Five Families came over for an end of summer potluck! We had some really yummy food to go along with our burgers and dogs-kids running around-a little sand volleyball-and a lot of catching up and visiting!! Fun Times! Adam even had 3 of his friends spend the afternoon with us.

I made a pumpkin dump cake-YUM! Why do I only think of pumpkin as a fall dessert? I plan on making this more often! Here is the recipe in case you want to try it...

Ingredients

1 29 oz. can pumpkin puree 3 eggs 1/2 C. packed brown sugar 1/2 C. white sugar 1 12 oz. can evaporated milk 1 tsp. ground cinnamon 1/2 tsp. ground ginger 1/4 tsp. ground cloves 1/2 tsp. salt 1 18 1/4 oz. pkg. spice cake mix 1/2 C. coarsely chopped pecans 1/2 C. melted butter

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9x13 pan. In a large bowl, combine pumpkin puree, eggs, brown                                 sugar, white sugar and milk. Stir in cinnamon, ginger, cloves and salt. Pour into pan. Sprinkle dry cake mix evenly over the pumpkin filling. Sprinkle pecans over the cake mix. Drizzle melted butter over all. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned. Is very yummy served slightly warm! Extra yummy served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!! Enjoy!!!
