Pumpkin Pecan Bars

A delicious addition to a fall table. Check out this Pumpkin Pecan Bars Recipe

I can’t believe that Thanksgiving is less than a week away.  Turkey will take over my kitchen in 5 days. Along with the turkey takeover will be sweet potatoes, cranberries, fresh baked bread rolls and so much more.  But the holy grail of thanksgiving at my house is the pie: Pumpkin or Pecan.  Now I  am a pumpkin girl all the way, but my hubby is a pecan kinda guy.  I hate to make two pies considering it is just us, so someone always seems left out.  Since I am the baker…it isn’t me. 🙂

This weeks recipe came from my need to please everyone this Thanksgiving: Pumpkin lovers & pecan lovers.  These Pumpkin Pecan Bars are moist and chewy with the flavors of pumpkin and pecan married together in harmony. An added bonus is these can be adapted easily to be gluten free and/or dairy free. Try them this week, I am sure everyone will love them!
