Pumpkin-Praline Squares w/Bourbon Whipped Cream + Festival Fun

Fall is in the air in Cajun country and it's that time again for all things pumpkin. These scrumptious praline-pumpkin squares are just heavenly and are a perfect ending to any meal or whenever you just want a little something sweet. And so easy for those busy days. Cest bon, cher! Enjoy!

1 (15 oz.) can pumpkin
1 (12 oz. can evaporated milk
3 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla or almond extract
1 cup sugar
2 tsp.'s pumpkin pie spice
1 box yellow cake mix
1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
3/4 cup butter, melted

In medium bowl, beat pumpkin, milk, eggs, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice,  and sugar, with wire whisk, until fluffy. Pour into a greased 13 x 9 inch baking pan.

Sprinkle cake mix evenly over pumpkin mixture. Sprinkle pecans over cake mix. Pour melted butter evenly over top. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 50 minutes or until a knife comes out clean.

Cool and cut into squares and serve with my Bourbon Whipped Cream, recipe below. Fab!

Festival Fun

We had an absolute blast yesterday,  at the 30th annual Festival Acadiens et Creole, in Girard Park. Here's a little clip that I took of the fabulous "Feufollet" rockin' the crowd at the Ma Louisiane stage. Crank it up for this one cher, and let the good times roll! Merci beaucoup for coming by!
