Today I went to the gym and although the treadmill looked very enticing, I stayed away and went for the elliptical for 45 minutes. Pretty much the most boring time of my life, where I almost feel back to sleep.
Yesterday instead of running, I made food. It is that time of year for Pumpkin so I made these dessert squares that taste very much like pumpkin pie!
Pumpkin Dessert Squares
Base
1 1/2 cups Bisquick
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup chopped Pecans
Filling
1 cup sugar
1 can (15oz) pumpkin
1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
4 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
3 eggs
Topping
1 cup Bisquick
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup butter
3.4 cup chopped pecans
1. Heat Oven to 350F. Directions say to spray 13x9 inch pan with cooking spray, but I used a 11x7 and it turned out ok. In medium bowl mix Base ingredients, using a fork to mix in butter until mixture is crumbly. With floured fingers, press mixture into bottom of pan and bake for 10 minutes.
2. In large bowl beat Filling ingredients with wire whisk until smooth and set aside. In medium bowl, mix Topping ingredients until mixture is crumbly, then add pecans.
3. Pour filling over hot partially baked base then sprinkle topping over filling. Bake 50-55 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 30 minutes before cutting into squares. Store in frig.
Delicious! I brought a big piece for my lunch today! Do you like pumpkin?? Have a great Monday!

sorry about your leg. Have you used a heating pad on it to loosen the muscles? That helped last week when I was having trouble.
your pumpkin squares look so good!
Have you ever used Arnica gel? I used it for the first time on my hamstring, you can find it in the health food store, I really think it helped.
bummer about the leg! i wish i had a magic pill for you.

Sorry about your leg, hope it gets better soon!
I love pumpkin, I have a similar recipe I make but it uses flour and oats instead of bisquick. Yummy!
I LOVE pumpkin...those sound SO good!
Good luck with the leg--hope it starts behaving for you.
So frustrating that your leg continues to give you so much grief. Keep doing what you're doing and hopefully it will come around soon.

I don't know if you mentioned this, can't remember now, but did you go to the doctor ever? Sounds crazy it's still bothering you after all the time off and pampering...just a thought ;)
I'm so baking those! Thanks!
Sorry your leg is still hurting. Those bars look super tasty. I love pumpkin, and I love that you can only get it this time of year so it retains its "specialness".
That's so annoying about your leg... I hope it's good as new very soon. It's so frustrating when our bodies keep us from doing the things we love. :(
That dessert looks awesome! I really like pumpkin, I wonder if I could make that and just substitue my gluten free flour...
