Recipe: Pumpkin Crack

From Denny: From Chow.com comes another easy popular recipe for a beginner cook or to do with your children. Usually, I prefer recipes with more technique but there are those days when you just feel like literally throwing the food together! :)


Pumpkin Crack

Ingredients:

One 16 oz can of pumpkin

Large can of sweetened condensed milk

3 eggs

one cup sugar

1 ½ tsp. Cinnamon

pinch nutmeg

1 box yellow cake mix (non-pudding)

two sticks melted butter

1 cup chopped pecans


Directions:

Mix the pumpkin, condensed milk, eggs, sugar, cinnamom and nutmeg in a bowl. Pour into a greased 9X13 or two round pans. Sprinkle 1/3 of the dry cake mix over the top and gently swirl it into the wet ingredients with a knife. Then sprinkle the rest of the dry cake mix on top. Pour the melted butter evenly on top of the mixture, and sprinkle with the pecans.

Bake at 350 for 45 minutes to 1 hour- it's done when brown around edges.

Recipe - Chocolate Bread Pudding

Dennys Dark Chocolate Bread Pudding and Sauces

This recipe is not so rich, full of calories or excess sugar so you can savor the chocolate! Easy to mix up by hand. Great for holiday menus or the novice cook. Serves about 8 - 10.

This is my own version developed 9 November 2008.

Less rich version with a lot less sugar, exploding with enough chocolate flavor to drown in it!
