We are now 10 days to Halloween! Oh, and it’s my best friends birthday today so everyone give her a shout out over here at her new blog Southern Distressed! Her blog is brand new and was a gift from me for her birthday. I will be working with her to add more as it goes. Anyone of these recipes from this Apples & Pumpkins Galore round up I would make for her if she was closer to me. In honor of her birthday though I made Pumpkin Pie Bars. They are simple. They take about an hour to put together and as you see below they come out pretty. Just drizzle a bit of icing, add a candle, and serve!
Do you have a go to recipe for birthday’s? Or maybe you have one for this time of year you like to share at a pot luck, Halloween gathering, or an Apples & Pumpkins Galore party like I am having here. If you do I would love to hear about it in the comments below. The more recipes the more I get inspired to create awesome new recipes.
And now for my recipe for Pumpkin Pie Bars…
