Recipe: Pumpkin Bars

 I have on our fall bucket list to make a new pumpkin recipe.  I decided on pumpkin bars.  Friday was our first real cold and rainy day of the fall season and it was the perfect time to turn on the oven and bake something!  

This is the recipe we used and it was delicious!

Pumpkin Bars

4 large eggs, room temperature

1 2/3 cups sugar

1 cup canola oil

1 can (15 oz.) pumpkin

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 tsp. ground cinnamon

2 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. salt

Icing:

6 - 8 oz. cream cheese softened

2 cups powdered sugar

1/4 cup butter, softened

1 tsp. vanilla extract

1-2 tbsp. 2% milk

In a bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, oil, and pumpkin until well blended.  Combine the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; gradually add to the pumpkin mixture and mix well.  Pour into an ungreased 15x10x1 inch baking pan.  Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until completely set.  Cool completely.

For the icing, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, butter, and vanilla in a small bowl.  Add enough milk to achieve spreading consistency.  Spread icing over bars.  Store in the refrigerator.

You May Abound In Hope

Today I completed a devotional book by Candace Cameron Bure.  100 Days of Joy and Strength.  I was struggling last night.  Darkness seemed to overwhelm me.  The last day of this devotional gave me exactly the encouragement I needed to go another day. Here are the verses she shared from God's Word. "I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in His word I put my hope."  Psalm 130:5 "We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;"  II Corinthians 4:8-9 "As for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me.  Do not gloat over me, my enemy!  Though I have fallen, I will rise.  Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light."  Micah 7:7-8 "I remain confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.  Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord."...
