Scriptures from Libby and Megan's Yummy Pumpkin recipe!

I don't know about you ladies, but Libby's talk was just what I needed this week. Thank you Libby for sharing with us. I asked Libby to email me the scriptures that coincided with her talk on Tuesday. Have you done what she challenged us to do? To research a mom of the bible? Here are some scriptures to get you started.

Eve-Genesis 2-4

Hannah- 1 Samuel 1-2

Mary- Her story is told throughout the 4 gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Luke 2 is the most well know account.

Jochobed- Exodus 2:1-10

Sarah- Genesis 11-25

Pumpkin Pie Cake Recipe

All the food this week was awesome! I know it adds extra stress in the morning to bring food, but it's one of my favorite part of MOPS. So thank you for all your hard work bringing food. I asked Megan if she would share her recipe for the Pumpkin Cake she brought on Tuesday. Here it is:

Pumpkin Pie Cake : )

1 large can pumpkin pie mix (already has the spices added)
1 5 oz.can of evaporated milk
2 large eggs
1 box of yellow cake mix
1 stick of real butter
pecans or walnuts optional
(If you use just plain pumpkin in a can there are some spices and different instructions on the can)

Follow the instructions on the can of pumpkin mix, adding the eggs and evap. milk as if making a pumpkin pie. Spread the mixture into the bottom of a 13x9 in. baking dish. Crumble the dry cake mix powder on top of the pumpkin mixture. Smooth. Sprinkle pecans or walnuts on top if desired. Dot the desert with 1 whole stick of butter (cubed) and bake at 350 until browned and crusty on top. Hope you all enjoy! : ) Megan
