If you've been on my blog for a while, you will see that I like to write silly little rhyming poems, like here and here. In honor of Pumpkin Potpourri Week, I wrote another one. Warning - not very good quality, just silly!
The pumpkin sat near the welcome mat,
And greeted folks that said hi.He would peek in the door across the floor,
And let out a little sigh.For he longed to be on display, you see, Where it was warm and dry.
One day he was lifted and to the kitchen shifted,
Though he did not know why.
It seemed a win to be taken in
After all that time had passed by
But that very same day, to his dismay,
He became a pumpkin pie!

Today's recipe is one of my favorite pumpkin recipes. I got it from a friend years ago. The pictures don't do it justice - it is buttery delicious!!
Pumpkin Dessert
3 eggs, slightly beaten
1 (12-1/2 oz) can pumpkin
1-1/2 cups evaporated milk
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 box yellow cake mix
1-1/2 sticks butter or margarine
1 cup nuts, chopped (I use walnuts)
Combine eggs, pumpkin, milk, sugar, salt, cinnamon, and vanilla; mix and pour in 9x13 in. glass Pyrex dish. Combine yellow cake mix and butter; mix until it resembles meal, and sprinkle over pumpkin mixture. Sprinkle nuts. Bake at 350 degrees F for 1 hour.
Can't wait to hear if any of you have had this before or what your thoughts are if you make it!

I'm first AGAIN! I may get up to early lol. That pumpkin dessert looks great. You are doing such a great job this week. I'm really enjoying it!
ReplyDeleteYour poem is hilarious - I love it! :) That cake looks YUMMO!
ReplyDeleteI love the poem - so cute, hee hee. Poor little guy, he was so happy to be moved into the kitchen, lol. :)
ReplyDeleteThe dessert looks so good. This week is making me crave pumpkin so badly! I need to get making some yummo punkin' stuff!
Lady, This recipe looks like a keeper! YUM!
ReplyDeleteI think it is not fair that Kim gets to post first just because she leaves in a different time zone. Post your blog later in the day and give the rest of us a chance. Or I might have to get my bohunkus (SP?) out of bed really early.
ReplyDeleteI loved the poem...took me by surprise for I was thinking Oct before November and he was going to become a Jack-O-lantern.
I LOVE anything and every thing pumpkin so this week has been so much fun. I can't wait till I go to the grocery store and get the stuff to make a couple of your recipes. Thanks for doing this all this week and giving us such a fun time.
Sorry, once again I should have proofed before clicking....Kim "LIVES", not leaves the different time zone. I sure hope you knew what I "meant" to say, rather than what I did say. Good grief.
ReplyDeleteThis looks so good and absolutely sinful! Okay, I have so many yummy pumpkin desserts for the next two weeks that this one will go on the list for the following! Mmm...I can't wait
ReplyDeleteok, so I have to try this desert!!! YUM!
ReplyDeleteI've had this recipe before minus the nuts. I think I need to try it with the nuts. We also put a splot of whipped cream on top before serving. My family makes this every Thanksgiving along with pumpkin pie(of course). It is one of my favorites!
ReplyDeleteYour a poet and don't know it..lol...cute poem..I love that recipe...anything with pumpkin..can't wait to try it...love all the tips etc..:)
ReplyDeletePumpkin... I love it! I could almost smell that cake, just looking at it. What a great post, Lisa, and what a great idea! I'm so excited about fall.

ReplyDeleteOK this looks really good. But my guys are allergic to eggs. So since pumpkin is sometimes used as an egg substitute, I wonder if I could just leave out the egg. Any thoughts?
ReplyDeleteMI
I liked your poem, i thought it was cute and had a surprise ending! =) I'm enjoying the pumpkin week. It's getting me into the fall mood.
ReplyDeleteFor Mi (and anybody else allergic to eggs), try an egg substitute that I saw at Grocery Cart Challenge using soy flour and water:
