Saturday Spectacular-Link Up Your Giveaways-11/6-11/13

Good Saturday morning all!  Hope your weekend is everything you wanted so far!  We have a fun day planned.  We are heading out to Logan's Roadhouse for a late lunch early dinner, they have this Ultimate Grill deal going on where you can have unlimited steak, chicken, or ribs with two sides for $13.99.  Sounds like a great and tasty deal to me!  Then we are taking the girls to ToysRUs to spend their gift cards that they got for their birthdays over a month ago.  I know, we are a little late on the draw, but have been busy with other things to take them out there.  The oldest has been talking for weeks on what she is going to get, I think she has narrowed it down to five things now!  
It's that time again!  Do you have a multitude of giveaways going on right now on your blogs, or maybe just one?  How about a Holiday Gift Guide that you started that you would like to share?  Find other giveaways on other blogs that you would like to let us all know about?  Link them up here today and all week on the Saturday Spectacular giveaway linky!  Let's get the giveaways up past 100 again!  Thanks and have a wonderful rest of your weekend!

Pumpkin Pie Fudge Recipe

My aunt made me this fudge this week as a special treat and handed me the recipe, so I wanted to share it with all of you.  I LOVE pumpkin and everything that I have run across that I have tried with pumpkin in t just makes me love it more.  This fudge is no exception and I thought it would be neat to pass it along so that you could make it for your holiday get-togethers too!

Pumpkin Pie Fudge

Ingredients:
1 cup milk
3 cups granulated sugar
3 tablespoons light corn syrup
1/2 cup canned pumpkin
dash of salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon allspice
4 tablesppons margarine
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:
Butter a 9 x 13 inch baking dish.  Combine milk, sugar, corn syrup, pumpkin and salt in a large pan.  Cook over medium heat until boiling, stirring constantly.  When mixture comes to a full boil, reduce heat and simmer until mixture comes to a softball stage.  Remove from heat.  Beat in cinnamon, allspice, margarine, and vanilla.  Cool, then beat until thick and mixture looses it's gloss.  Spoon into buttered pan and cut into squares when cool and set.

Please let me know if you try this fudge out and how you like it!  I would love to hear your thoughts and comments!

Friday Blog Hopping

Good Friday morning!  Hope you are all getting ready for a great weekend!  I have to apologize for the lack of work on my blog lately.  I am finding it to be quite a challenge to be a working mommy!  It has been over five years since I have been back in the work force and I am trying to get used to the fact of tackling a 32 hours a week job and then all the tasks at home that need to get done.  There are some nights when I am lucky enough to sit down by 8 and by that time, I am exhausted!  I will get used to it eventually I hope!  Anyways, check out some great Friday Blog Hops and have a wonderful weekend!
