Pumpkin Cake Bars

Pumpkin gets a bad rap these days. All these negative Nancys saying it’s “basic” & the pumpkin spice craze is just a cash grab. I’m here to tell you, you don’t need this kind of negativity in your life! And neither do I. Even the biggest hater of pumpkin-flavored items (my mom!) loves these Pumpkin Cake Bars. The cake is tender, yet sturdy. Even better, it is full of eggs & a whole can of…

BH90210

Anyone that knows me knows that I am a FAN of Beverly Hills, 90210.

I had the Kelly, Donna and Dylan dolls. And then I watched the episodes in syndication in the 90’s. I ate it…
