pilgrim pumpkin bars
With Thanksgiving close by this recipe came to mind. If you like the taste of pumpkin these are a great change from the ordinary pumpkin pie. Or if you know someone who isn't fond of pumpkin, I can bet you that this may just change their minds.

o henry bars
This recipe was given to be by a girlfriend I miss very much. She lived in warren right behind me. Teresa was new to the area so she didn't know anyone. Having two young girls like myself I think it was just natural we become friends. The first thing that made me really like teresa was her laugh. Like me, Teresa's laugh came easy and often.

My dad had a carrot cake for his 80th birthday also just last week my sister Anita turned 50 and she had carrot cake at her birthday. I think if I remember correctly the first birthday cake I baked for my new family was a carrot cake....

This recipe is from my Mom's red and white cookbook. All of her recipes are written in long had by her. She had beautiful penmenship unlike myself. Lets just call mine chicken scratching's. I corrected I think the name of the cookies as my Mom had it spelled Butterscoth and I think she mean't Butterscotch. You can see by the picture they resemble the pecan scotchies that you can buy from Keebler.

Peach Cobbler
I made this Saturday for the family. I had bought peaches two weeks ago to make a peach pie or cobbler I hadn't decided, but the peaches kept disapearing! The kids kept eating them so I was down to only four and I know I needed at least six or eight for the size recipe I need to feed all of us.
