Wow, I made it to all 24 bloggers and what an adventure. So many beautiful pages made with this kit. So many great recipes I want to try. I like adding something new every once in awhile so we don't get into a rut! We always use our favorite standby's. Like this recipe I got from Staci from SCS, everyone love's it and we no longer do regular pumpkin pie, try it, you'll see why.
Staci Lynch’s Pumpkin desert from SCS
4 eggs slightly beaten
1 1/2 c. sugar
1 can evaporated milk
1 large can pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling)
1 tsp. salt
3 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
Pkg yellow cake mix
1 ½ cubes melted butter
½ to 1 cup of chopped pecans
Mix the first six ingredients and pour into a greased 9×13 pan. Sprinkle top with the dry yellow cake mix and drizzle 1 1/2 cubes of melted butter. Sprinkle with nuts (I prefer pecans and recommend a whole cup). Bake at 350 degree for about an hour. Enjoy! I usually serve it with whipped cream and it is best at room temp or out of the fridge.
WOW! Loved all the Recipe Books!

Everyone did a great job, tons of eye candy, though I think the recipe kit from yesterday was my favorite, just because I loved the colors better, and am not as big a fan of shaped albums.
Here's my recipe: Almond Lace cookies
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sliced almonds, chopped
Preheat oven to 350°F and generously grease 2 large baking sheets.
Cook brown sugar, butter, and corn syrup in a 1-quart saucepan over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until smooth. Remove from heat, then stir in flour and almonds.
Spoon scant tablespoons of batter 6 inches apart on baking sheets (4 cookies per sheet) and bake 1 sheet at a time in middle of oven until golden brown and bubbling, 6 to 8 minutes. (Cookies will spread to 5 to 6 inches.) Cool cookies on sheet 1 to 2 minutes. Quickly but carefully remove cookies from sheet with a metal spatula and transfer to a rack to cool completely. (If they become too brittle to transfer, return baking sheet to oven for about 1 minute to allow cookies to soften.)
Love all the recipes!
Here's mine:
http://sanguinescaredycat.blogspot.com/2009/11/recipe.html
Cranberry Orange Muffins
1 cup dried cranberries
1/3 cup fresh squeezed orange juice
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temp
2 teaspoons grated orange zest
2/3 cup granulated sugar, plus more for topping muffins, if desired
2 large eggs, at room temp
1/2 cup milk
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Put the cranberries and orange juice in a small saucepan, bring just to a simmer over med. heat. Remove from heat, and set aside to cool and plump.
Line 12-muffin tin with paper liners or lightly brush with butter. Sift flour, baking powder, and salt into a bowl and set aside.
In a standing mixer fitted with paddle attachment, or with a hand-held mixer in a large bowl, cream butter, orange zest, and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Remove the bowl from the mixer.
Fold the flour in 3 parts into the butter mixture, alternating with the milk in 2 parts, until just combined. Fold in the cranberries. Do not over mix. Divide the batter evenly into the muffin tins and sprinkle the tops with sugar. Bake until golden brown, about 25 minutes. Cool muffins in the pan on a rack.
That was a long skip hop jump! Loved all the creativity! All the designers have done an awesome job!
Today I am going to share the recipe for Gajar Ka Halwa....Sweet Porridge made out of Carrots!!
Grated carrot 1 kg
Milk 1 litre
Whole dried milk (mawa,milk powder) 200 grams
Sugar 2 cups
Ghee 2 tbsp. Clarified Butter
Dry fruits (sliced almond and cashew nuts, raisin ) 1/2 cup
Cardamom powder 1/2 tsp.
Method:
1. Put milk and grated carrots in a heavy base kadhai / deep saucepan and bring it to boil. Cook over medium heat until all the milk gets dried up. You should stir the mixture occasionally to prevent any sticking.
2. Add sugar, cardamom powder, 1/4 cup dry fruits and continuously stir for 5-7 minutes.
3. Add ghee and mawa. Stir well and fry on low heat until ghee starts separating.
4. Decorate with remaining dry fruits and serve hot. (Optional- decorate with silver leaf)
5. Add lemon juice and paneer pieces. Mix well so that all the paneer pieces gets properly coated with sugar. Allow it to cool.
This tastes Awesome! It is one of my favorite!
