As promised, I'm posting another recipe I plan on making, ok, this is not a main course, but it does look yummy! I have an 8 ounce cream cheese in the ice box that is about to expire, so I have an excuse to make these Pumpkin Bars;-) Ryan won't be thrilled about it as he is on an exercise/health kick these days(as should I!), but I bet tonight he'll go into the kitchen and sneak one...
I love, love, love Paula Deen, and this is her recipe, if a recipe has her name on it, it's gonna be awesome!
