Pumpkin Casserole - if you don't have self rising flour use baking powder/salt and regular flour. I make a double recipe and it is always gone in no time at all..INGREDIENTS:

• 2 cups pumpkin puree
• 1 cup evaporated milk
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1/2 cup self-rising flour
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup butter
• 2 pinches ground cinnamon

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Combine the pumpkin, evaporated milk, sugar, flour, eggs, vanilla, melted butter and ground cinnamon to taste. Spoon into a casserole dish.
3. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 1 hour.

Instead of self rising flour, I use 1 1/2 tsp of baking powder, 1/8 tsp salt and 1 cup plus 2 T of regular flour..

What a handsome pair of people! Your son is getting to be so mature and very handsome (hope that's not creepy to say). I have to show my son that picture of ibouncetoo because he always looks at her avatar and thinks its me. That picture proves we look somewhat alike, but not really, she is much prettier than I am.

Thanks for sharing this morning - and thanks for the sneek peak photos of Expedition Matter.... I mean Everest

Mornin' oh virtual friends..... We had a lovely weekend, filled with leaves, a fun date night, and pizza with friends. Harry Potter rocked!!!!! We checked out a new cool, hip restaurant in town and felt like we were dining in Boston. It was very hip and th food was great!.

Did I mention how much I liked Harry Potter.......

Glad you had a great weekend...well deserved after you and Catrina's bad case of having such nasty bugs

And guess who was a bad mom and took her son out of school early last Friday to see the new Harry Potter film? Yep, it was ME!!!! And I'm sooooo glad I did.....couldn't agree more with Castlegazer....that movie totally rocked!
And OMG, the actor who played Cedric Diggory ....drool city!

Sounds totally yummy! Question: Is pumpkin puree the same as canned pumpkin??? Sorry for the dumb question, but you're dealing with the "cooking impaired" here

Geffric and ibounce-great pics, why you don't look like ax carrying stalkers at all!! hehehe

Just wanted to wish you all a great Thanksgiving. I am thankful that I have "met" some of the sweetest people in the world right here!!

I have a crazy few days planned. Today is Lauren's bday and am having about 8 over for cake, dessert etc tonight. No dinner! hooray! and then I start preparing for dinner on Thursday. Since Pete is military we are cooking for all the people in his office that work the 3 shifts on Thanksgiving day. So what this means is that I have to prepare 2 FULL meals. I need to have a meal ready at 11am, 3pm, 5pm and 10pm. So I will cook 2 meals and split them.Pete just told me about this this weeknd AFTER I went to the grocery store. So I sent him out last night to get more food. I am a mad mad woman these next few days. Geffric, I need your helpppppppp But these people are young airman and woman who don't have family in the area. We always have people over on Thanksgiving but this is my first expereience with delivery dinners. His old job didn't have 24 hr shifts. New times!!

So have a great holiday everyone...OF, Geffric, ibounce, Cadsmom, the BELLES, Mad, CG,(btw heard YOUR commercial the other day!!), 39CINDY,Hugs4eyeore, LEW, TB, DHB, slo and all the others I may have forgotten.

 

[castlegazer]

Thank you CMom. (they had that commercial at the start of the Harry Potter movie too - cool!)


Good luck with the meals. That is very sweet, albeit masochistic, for you to do that for those guys. One of my easiest Turkey Day dishes is my cranberry salad which I make by grinding up two bags of cranberries, 4-5 whole oranges (peel and all), and then adding 2 cups of sugar (or as much as you see fit to add). Easy cheesy, and it tastes great! It's really a matter of feel and taste for the amounts of everything. Depends on how much orange you like or how bitter you like it.

Cheeringmom OMG! Are you trying to make the rest of us look bad TWO full meals ....you've gotta be nuts! Either that, or one of the sweetest, most giving people we know and I'm quite certain it's the latter....good luck and you should be truly proud of yourself.....you are making a lot of very lonely people mighty happy this Thanksgiving
