    We are taking our holiday approach different this year. Our menu consists of:

    Roast Beef
    Brown Rice (my newest addiction)
    Sweet Potato Brulee
    Roasted Green Beans or some kind of carrots
    Cranberry Pear sauce
    and for dessert, my first time ever making this
    Pumpkin Roll and it's a light version

    I think that is pretty much it.

    Crock pot chicken
    turkey stuffing
    gravy
    green bean casserole
    scalloped corn
    pumpkin spice cake
    cranberry sauce

    I think that's all for now. It will just be my husband and myself, so I will have a lot of leftovers. I will take half of the cake to my parents when I visit them in their independent/assisted living facility. They don't really have a kitchen because all their meals are served there for them.

    We don't do a massive dinner...just a couple of people, so its just this:

    - turkey/stuffing
    - mashed Potatoes & gravy
    - cvorn
    - some green veggie..not sure what yet
    and maybe some rolls...

    and for dessert, this 'pumpkin crunch' thing that's like pumpkin pie, but WAY better.


    Pumpkin Crunch:

    29 oz can pumpkin
    12 oz can evaporated milk
    3 eggs
    1 cup sugar
    1 Tablespoon Pumpkin pie spice
    1 teaspoon salt
    1-2 cups pecans, chopped
    1 box yellow cake mix
    2 sticks of butter

    Preheat oven to 350. Mix pumpkin, milk, eggs, sugar, pumpkin pie spice and salt in a large bowl until well blended. Pour into greased 9 x 13 pan. sprinkle cake mix over top. Then sprinkle with chopped pecans. Melt butter and pour over top. Bake for 50-60 minutes
