Pumpkin Slice

One of my favourite parts of fall is anything and everything pumpkin flavoured. I will never turn down a slice of pumpkin pie no matter how much turkey I've had and Starbucks' pumpkin spice latte is one of my guilty pleasures. My mom has a killer pumpkin slice recipe, and I couldn't resist making two trays of it this weekend while I was out visiting my family. Here is the recipe:

Pumpkin Slice

• 1/2 cup butter
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 14 oz. can of pumpkin (or fresh pumpkin if you have it on hand)
• 1 cup flour
• 1 tsp. cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp. nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp. ginger
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• 1/2 tsp. baking soda
• 1/4 tsp. salt

Mix all ingredients. Pour into 9 x 13 inch pan and bake for 25 minutes at 350 degrees. Cool.

Icing

• 4 oz. cream cheese
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 2 cups icing sugar

Beat ingredients together then spread over cooled pumpkin slice.

Enjoy!

Happy Thanksgiving to all of my fellow Canadians! I've had a nice relaxing weekend out visiting my family in the country. Here are some pictures I took yesterday while taking Huxley for a walk. I left the city in a rush Friday night and once I got here I realized I only brought the shoes I had on my feet - my sequin flats; which would have been slightly inappropriate for walking around the dirt roads here. Luckily my mom and I have the same size feet and I was able to borrow a pair of her boots. Do any of you raid your mom's closet when you go to visit? Do you find that you have the same taste in clothing as your mom?
