Hi, Everybody. My name is R E I D. I am Cheri’s 8-year old grandson and I will be your guest blogger today. (My sister got to do this last week and Cheri wanted to give me a turn, too…she’s nice that way!)
Girls aren’t the only ones who can cook. My daddy is a great cook and I like to do it sometimes too. My favorite part is cracking eggs. Today I am making Pumpkin Snack Bars. (I’m not sure if I’m going to like it....I’ve never eaten pumpkin before. I wonder if it’s as good as peanut butter and jelly?)
Don’t you sit on the counter when you cook?
It’s ready!!! Yummy frosting on top. I wanted to put a jack-o-lantern face on it but Cheri said it wasn’t HALLOWEEN!
Here’s the recipe:
1 cup Miracle Whip dressing
3 eggs
1 stick butter or margarine, softened
1 tsp. vanilla
Blend cake mix, pumpkin, salad dressing, & eggs with mixer on medium speed until well blended. Pour into greased 13x9” baking pan. Bake @ 350 for 32-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely (in pan) on wire rack.
Frosting: blend butter, powdered sugar, milk, & vanilla with mixer on low speed until moistened. Beat on high until light & fluffy. Spread over cooled cake.
Note: you can add 8 oz. cream cheese to frosting & keep refrigerated until serving time.
Reid! What a great job you did posting for your grandma!!! And, you are just about cute too!!!!

I am so, so hungry now!! I've never had pumpkin bars but I'd love to have some of these!
ReplyDeleteI don't know if you're interested in girls yet - but I can tell you that girls love a guy that can cook and the pictures you've chosen for yourself are bound to attract a lot of girls!
With those blue eyes, cooking skills, and athletic ability that boy will be fighting off the ladies in a few years! It's fun to cook with grandkiddos isn't it? The recipe looks easy and delish!
ReplyDeleteWell Reid, it looks like you did not only a good job of baking, but also of blogging! Congratulations on your post and thanks for the recipe. My grandfather was a chef, but I understand you wnating to play ball or fish instead, at this age. You've got time to decide, so in the meantime, just have fun doing those things that you like! Great post, Cheri!
ReplyDeleteWell done Reid!
ReplyDeleteI think I will try out your recipe too!
And don't you have the most beautiful blue eyes!
Tell Grandma hi and that I hope she is doing well!

Hi Reid, you and your sister each did a great job blogging and baking. Tell your grandma that these are the most fun posts I've ever read! I wish I was there to have some cake with all of you, but I'm sure it's all gone by now!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful Spring!
Reid, you are such a cutie. It wouldn't matter how the cake tasted~ if you baked it, I'm sure Chari thought it was the most delicioius thing ever. Cute post! Thanks for sharing the recipe. Is it as good as p'nut butter and jelly? laurie
ReplyDeleteWhat a handsome grandson you have! He has the most gorgeous blue eyes. Isn't it fun being a Grandma!

ReplyDeleteHave a blessed day dear friend! HUGS!
You're ready for the cooking channel. Great work.
ReplyDeleteHow adorable! What a cute and talented guy!!
ReplyDeleteWell, Reid, was it as good as peanut butter & jelly? For me I bet I would choose the pumpkin bars as I love pumpkin. I like Peanut Butter plain--no jelly.
