    My husband's aunt gave me her recipe for pumpkin upside down cake - OMG it is the best Thanksgiving dessert ever! You mix some spices with the pumpkin puree, then top it with yellow cake mix (dry) drizzled it with melted butter and pecans. The cake mix sounds funny, but it is an amazing dessert!


    Oh that sounds really good!! I haven't thought of a pumpkin upside down cake. I was thinking of doing cranberry upside cake.

    I'm having the entire family this year so we'll be having homemade from scratch chocolate meringue pie, coconut pie, millionaire pie (very very rich), and pecan pie. Now I just have to be sure that they take it all home with them..lol
