Be Carton Smart as You Cook this Holiday Season

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Carton Smart. All opinions are 100% mine.

I know most of us try to do at least a little something to be more eco-friendly. Recently I learned one more easy thing I can do to help our planet, and help my food taste better too! This holiday season I was introduced to pantry staple items from Pacific Foods that are packaged in Tetra Packs.

Tetra Packs are cartons made of 70% paper, a renewable resource, from selectively harvested, re-grown trees that are FSC-certified.These cartons use 1/3 of the packaging of cans, are space-saving, stackable and easy to open. The unique packaging process preserves the flavor and nutrients of food without the use of preservatives.

Easy recipes: Pumpkin Bars

I used the Pacific Foods Pumpkin Puree in my recipe for pumpkin bars.

Ingredients

1 cup melted butter
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
1 cup pumpkin puree
1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla
1 jar of cream cheese frosting

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
Lightly grease a 9×9 inch pan
In a medium bowl, beat eggs well.
Beat in sugar, butter, punpkin, and vanilla.
Add flour, mixing well.
Bake at 350 for 40-45 minutes
Cool completely
Frost top of bars with cream cheese frosting.

This recipe is very easy to make and it was well received at my church Christmas party. There were a few bars left at the end of the party but some of my friends asked if they could take them home.

Be Carton Smart
