Preheat oven to 350°. Grease and flour a 15x10x1 inch jelly roll pan. Combine sugar, oil, pumpkin and eggs. Beat on high for 1 minute. Add cake mix and pumpkin pie spice. Mix 2 minutes on high speed. Fold in nuts, if desired.

Pour into the pan and bake 25-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Combine the frosting and cream cheese until smooth. Frost cooled bars. Store in the refrigerator.

Add the milk, pumpkin, sugar, vanilla and pumpkin pie spice to a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring almost to a boil. (Or you can microwave it until very hot but not boiling.)

Remove from heat and add to a blender. Blend on high until the milk begins to froth, about 2 minutes. (A hand blender works great for this.)

Divide the milk mixture between two mugs. Add the coffee slowly down the side so you don’t disturb the milk froth. Add a squirt of whipped cream and top with a pinch of pumpkin pie spice and whipped cream. Serves 1. (Just double the recipe for each additional person you want to serve.)

Bake pie crust at 350 degrees for 1-2 minutes until crust starts to puff with small bubbles. Watch carefully. Then remove from the oven.

Blend all ingredients together in a bowl. Pour into pie crust and bake at 425° for 15 minutes. Then turn the oven down to 350° for 45 minutes. When a knife is inserted into the center of the pie and comes out clean, it is done. Makes one pie.

Mix the ingredients and store in an airtight container.

Beat the ingredients together with an electric mixer until smooth. (It will be really thick.) Add 1 cup mini chocolate chips and stir. Line muffin tins with paper muffin cups and spray with non-stick spray.

Use an ice cream scoop to put the batter into the muffin cups. (I can get 24 from one box of mix.) Bake at 350 degrees for around 20 minutes.

Cool and frost if desired. My family likes them just as they are when they are hot from the oven.

Spice cake mix is great – add white chocolate chips, peanut butter chips or butterscotch chips.

I have made pumpkin muffins with white cake mix and yellow cake mix too. They have around 120 calories a piece with the mini chocolate chips and are virtually fat free. If you are on weight watchers they only count as 1 point.

This is a fabulous way to sneak some vitamin A rich veggies in on the kids. Just don’t let them see you put the pumpkin into the muffins and they will never know it is there. These are more moist than name brand very expensive double chocolate chip muffins.

Preheat oven to 375°. Grease a 15x10x1 inch baking pan and line with parchment paper. Grease and flour the paper well.

In a large bowl, beat the eggs on high for five minutes. Gradually add the white sugar and pumpkin. Add flour, cinnamon, and baking soda. Spread batter evenly in pan. Sprinkle walnuts evenly on top.

Bake at 375° for 15 minutes or until the cake springs back when lightly touched. Immediately turn out onto a linen towel dusted with confectioners sugar. This works best by placing the towel on top of the cake and holding it taught while turning the cake over. Peel off the paper and roll the cake up in the towel, starting with the short end. Cool.

To Make The Filling For This Pumpkin Roll Recipe: Mix powdered sugar, vanilla, butter or margarine, and cream cheese together until smooth.

Carefully unroll the cake. Spread the filling over the cake to within 1 inch of the edges. Roll up again. Cover and chill until serving. Dust with additional confectioners sugar, if desired.

Mix the sugar, eggs, oil and pumpkin in a bowl. Add the dry ingredients and water in the order given. Mix well. Stir in nuts and raisins if desired.

Pour into a greased and floured loaf pan and bake at 350° for 1 hour or longer if needed. To test doneness put a knife in the center of the bread. If it comes out clean it is finished. Serve with Honey Butter. Makes 1 loaf.

Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add pumpkin, sour cream, and spices. Mix. Fold in the whipped topping. Store in the refrigerator. Serve with cinnamon graham crackers, apples or gingersnaps.

Cream shortening, sugar and pumpkin in a bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well. Drop by small spoonfuls onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Brush the tops with milk. Bake at 375 degrees for 8 minutes. Top with frosting.

Melt butter and blend in powdered sugar. Add vanilla and 4 tsp. milk. Stir until well blended. Add one more teaspoon of milk if needed to make it smooth.

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Mix pumpkin, milk, eggs, sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl. Pour into a greased 9×13 pan.

Sprinkle dry cake mix over pumpkin mixture. Then sprinkle with nuts. Drizzle with butter.

Bake for 50-55 minutes or until golden brown. Cool, served chilled. Serve this pumpkin crunch with whipped topping.

Mix cake mix as directed on package. Add dry pudding and pumpkin. Mix well. Pour into 24 paper lined muffin cups. Beat cream cheese, sugar and egg together and drop a spoonful into the center of each cupcake. Swirl gently with a spoon. Bake at 350° for 18-21 minutes.

Boil seeds in water for 5 minutes. Drain well. Sprinkle with salt or seasoned salt. Place a thin layer on a cookie sheet. Bake at 250 degrees. Stir after 30 minutes. Bake 1/2-1 hour more or until crunchy.

*Squash seeds may also be used.

Combine ingredients. Stir just until moistened; batter may be lumpy. Heat griddle or skillet over medium heat; brush lightly with vegetable oil.

Pour 1/4 cup batter onto hot griddle; cook until bubbles begin to burst. Turn and continue cooking 1 to 2 minutes. Serve with Pumpkin Maple Sauce and nuts.

Mix together until well blended.

Place all ingredients in a blender. Blend until smooth. Pour into 2-3 glasses. Serve with a small amount of whipped cream on top. You may also add orange sprinkles if you like. Serves 2-3.
