Pumpkin Bars
Ingredients
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1.5 cups Quaker old-fashioned oats
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
1 pkg. (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
2 large eggs
1 can (30 oz.) LIBBY\’s Easy Pumpkin Pie Mix
frosting (optional)
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease 13 x 9-inch baking pan.
2. Combine flour, Quaker oats and brown sugar in large bowl. Stir in butter until moistened. Reserve 1 cup mixture for topping. Press remaining mixture firmly onto bottom of prepared pan. Place in oven and cook for 5 minutes.
3. Beat cream cheese, granulated sugar, cornstarch and pumpkin pie spice in large mixing bowl until smooth. Beat in eggs. Beat in pumpkin pie mix. When crust is finished baking pour mixture over it. (Crust should NOT be cooled when you do this.) Then sprinkle with the reserved oat mixture.
4. Bake for 30-45 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely in pan on wire rack. Refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours. I like to drizzle frosting over the top of mine.
When the days get shorter, and it\’s barely light out at five we tend to break out our dark polishes. I wear darker lacquers year round, but when fall arrives the blacks start to creep out of my collection. While the dark hues are a staple during the chillier months for me, this year it\’s all about showing off your peacock. No not the one Katy Perry sings about! The real colors of a peacock. The gorgeous blues and teals.
It\’s the easiest way to show your peacock whether you\’re a fashionista or ressionista!

1. Cook the ground sirloin (or turkey burger) with the onion until it is no longer pink. When it is completely cooked add taco seasoning to taste.
2. Bake the pizza crust for 5 minutes at 350 or until golden brown.
3. Chop the Fresh Express Italian lettuce finely.
4. Once the crust is golden brown smear some pizza sauce on it. Spread the taco meat evenly over the pizza crust as well as the cheese. Place is the oven at 350 for about 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.
5. Once cheese has melted remove from the oven and cover with the Fresh Express Italian lettuce, tomato and swirl on taco sauce.
