The hunt for pumpkin puree

Hey everyone,

I didn't have the opportunity to check in last night. It wasn't a very exciting food day, I honestly didn't feel like blogging about smart beat cheese sandwiched and yellow mustard, so I decided to take a break. I was actually a little disappointed when I went into Food Emporium and couldn't find the pumpkin puree that I need to make the lentil soup that I last blogged about. I'm going to check out another supermarket tonight. If I cant find it, I guess my soup will just have to wait.

So last week I put my the cakes that I made in the freezer to save them for this week. I'm a bit anxious because I don't know if they will be mushy when they are defrosted. Only time will tell....
I was looking through some old recipes and came across these breakfast squares that are a good thing to keep around if you're really busy in the mornings. you can make a whole batch and just grab them and go.
Hope these save you time in your busy morning.

Fruit and Oat Squares

3 cups of oatmeal

2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
2 eggs or 3 egg whites
4 mashed ripe bananas (about 2 cups)
3/4 cup of splenda
1/2 cup applesauce
Optional: 1 pint strawberries or blueberries or both

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Mix all of the ingredients and pour into a 10x13 glass pan that's been sprayed with fat free cooking spray. sprinkle a little extra cinnamon on top. Bake 30-45 minutes until edges have browned and pull away from the sides of the pan. Cut into 2" squares

Ok honey bees and bears, Have to get my work day started....if I come across any interesting recipes you know I will definitely check back in later!
