Pumpkin Bars

I love fall. I love the cooler weather, the leaves, sweatshirts, apples, pumpkins, brown, orange, red. You get the idea. One of the best things about fall is the food. I love it. Here is a favorite from the RL Mennonite cookbook (for those of you that have it). I've made it a lot and people love it. Sorry I don't have any pictures. I thought about making it just for the pictures, but then I'd eat it, and when I start eating these things it's very hard to stop.

Pumpkin Bars

3 eggs
2 c. sugar
1 c. oil
1 - 2 c. pumpkin

2 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. soda
2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. salt
Nutmeg if desired (I don't use it)
1 c. raisins or nuts, optional (I don't use these either)
