Diet Coke and a Recipe

Today will be day 4 without Diet Coke. I am actually doing fine with it and it hasn't been hard at all. I was very tempted when we were at a party last night but I stuck to water. I am really hoping to stick with this, especially during our trip to Japan. I know it isn't good for me and I don't want to be a slave to a can for the rest of my life.

I am trying a new recipe this week that has come highly recommended. I thought I would share it with you.

Pumpkin Pie Squares

1 (13oz.) can evaporated milk
1 lg can pumpkin
3 eggs
1 1/2 tspn. cinnamon
1/2 tspn. nutmeg
1/4 tspn. all spice
1 c. sugar
1/2 tspn. salt
1 box yellow cake mix
1 1/2 cubes butter
1/2 to 1 cup nuts chopped (I use pecans)

Preheat oven to 350 combine first 8 ingredients; mix well. Pour into a
greased 9 by 13 pan. Sprinkle cake mix over top of the mixture. Slice
butter and dot over cake mix. Sprinkle with nuts. Bake 50 minutes or
until set in center. Great alternative to pumpkin pie.
