Pumpkin Bars by Paula Deen


Ingredients

Bars:

  • 4 eggs

Stuffed

Goodness, so much food...I don't think I can have one more bite of stuffing!  Thankfully, we've got about four more weeks before we have to do this all over again..love it.  Hope you all had a fantastic day, I'd say, we're pretty much full of it, hehe.  Now the painful process of tapering back on all the good eats, sigh.
If you were one of the brave souls who ventured out on "Black Friday", I hope you didn't come back "Black & Blue".....I mean, c'mon, seriously....but now, I am all over this whole "cyber-shopping week" thing...yup, laptop, coffee and a credit card, now that's what I'm talkin' about!!!

Been feeling pretty crafty of late, and I really would like to make a few Christmas gifts so, I suppose ,  I better get movin' if I expect that to happen...well, I think this is going to get a whole lot easier, and I'll find one of my hopeful projects and post it, tell me what you think...anyway, Christmas is underway at the Smith household, tree is up, saw the old black and white Miracle on 34th Street...now just to get up from here and  start craftinggggg.....

Red Velvet Brownie Cheesecake

Okay, this is my first official blog and since I'm just coming off a pre-Thanksgiving dinner weekend, this was the uber dessert of the entire feast, not that that has absolutely anything to do with this blog, but well, I'm hoping to get better as I go along, or not.

I have an idea,  let me just give you the recipe,  and  we'll go from there:
