It's FALL--Time For ALL Things Pumpkin!!!!!!

I LOVE Fall, it's my favorite season! I love all the changing colors and the cooler temperatures...although right now in Michigan it is very cold and feels more like Winter than Fall, and to be honest, I'm feeling a little jipped. It rained for three straight days this week, was sunny yesterday and has been rainy and cold all day again today! Needless to say, I am sick of the rain!

But, on a happier note I found this recipe while trolling the internet and decided that this morning was the perfect time to make them. I'm not sure where I get my love for all things Pumpkin related, because it's sure not from my Mother. When I told her about these brownies...she told me that they didn't sound good and they shouldn't be called brownies...because brownies should only be made of chocolate! The bro had the same response. Hmmph! ;-)

PUMPKIN BROWNIES

INGREDIENTS:
1 C. Butter; softened
2 C. Sugar
2 tsp. Cinnamon
2 Eggs
1 C. Pumpkin Puree
2 tsp. Vanilla
1 1/2 C. Flour

Preheat the oven to 350. Spray a 9x13 pan with Non-stick Cooking Spray. Cream the Butter and Sugar. Add Cinnamon, Eggs, Pumpkin and Vanilla; mix well. Stir in the Flour. Pour into pan and bake for 30-40 minutes; or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. (I will probably add chocolate chips the next time I make them. They are delicious, but I think that chocolate chips will add to the greatness!) 

Give them a try! I would love to know what you think of them too! :-)
