I developed this recipe to liven up the traditional pumpkin bar. My family says it's the best pumpkin bar they've ever had. This bar is dense and moist.
Ingredients

Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10x15 inch baking dish. Whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice in a bowl.

Beat the eggs in a mixing bowl. Whisk in the white sugar, canola oil, and pumpkin puree until no lumps of pumpkin puree remain. Stir in the carrots and pineapple, then fold in the flour mixture until no lumps of flour remain. Pour into the prepared baking dish.

While the pumpkin bars are cooling, beat the cream cheese, butter, vanilla extract, and confectioners' sugar together in a bowl until smooth. Frost the cooled bars with the cream cheese frosting.

Gourmet Chicken Sandwich
Sauteed chicken breasts topped with a mayonnaise/mustard/rosemary spread and graced by 2 slices of garlic rosemary focaccia bread. These sandwiches are great when you want a quick supper, but not something from the freezer. They remind me of an expensive sandwich from an upscale deli. The spread and the chicken can be made in advance, and the chicken can be eaten hot or cold.
Mexican Grilled Corn
I love Mexican grilled corn! I consider it to be the greatest corn on the cob of all time. The way the subtly salted cotija cheese works with an ancho-lime mayonnaise, along with that buttery, smoky corn, is a magnificent combination of flavors.
Ryann's Spicy Grilled Fish Tacos
These street-style grilled fish tacos have a great balance of spice and creamy queso fresco goodness. Delicious! If you really like spice, drizzle some sriracha on top!
