Pumpkin Bars

4 eggs
2 C sugar
1 1/2 C salad oil
1 #303 can pumpkin (1 lb.)
2 1/2 C flour (to make this recipe GLUTEN FREE, use GF flour and 2 tsp xanthan gum)
2 tsp soda
2 tsp cinnamon

Combine all ingredients and mix well.  Pour into 2 well greased 9x13 pans.  Bake about 15-20 minutes at 350 degrees.

When cool, frost with the following:

3 1/2 C powdered sugar
8 oz. pkg cream cheese
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 C butter

Beat until soft and creamy.  Makes enough for both pans of bars.

Don't have sour cream?

Use plain yogurt instead.  I used it in Spaghetti pie and it worked perfectly!

Balsamic Chicken

5-6 Chicken breasts, cut in 1/2 lengthwise

3 tsp rosemary
3 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper

Olive oil
Balsamic vinegar

Place chicken in a 9x13 pan.

Mix rosmary, garlic, salt and pepper with olive oil to make a paste.  Rub onto chicken.  Pour desired amount of balsamic vinegar over the chicken.  Cover pan with foil and bake at 450 degrees for 20 minutes.  Turn and bake 20 more minutes.

Serve with rice and a salad.
