So what is the rhyme or reason for food that I cook or bake? It's usually what i have on hand and then finding a new way to use it. I have a few recipe stand-bys but I tend to try new recipes often, I really like the variety!
Well I wanted to make a pound cake but I was out of butter....and I had pumpkin on hand, so I went to allrecipes and clicked on the ingredients section. I typed in that I wanted to use oil and that I did not want to use butter and this Pumpkin Cake recipe was one of them. You can find it here.
And below you will find my version with a few changes.
Pumpkin Pound Cake
Ingredients
(My Notes: I changed this recipe by putting in much less sugar and using mostly the Libby's Canned Pie Mix instead of all just regular plain pumpkin. You will have leftover Pumpkin Pie Mix, put this in the frig and I have a wonderful baked oatmeal that you can use this in!!!)

Sounds delicious! I enjoy incorporating pumpkin into any recipe I can; it's healthy and one of my favorite flavors!

Looks luscious! However, I have canned pumpkin, but no pie mix--can you untweek the recipe for me?
