Prepare vanilla pudding according to directions and add whipped topping. Spoon 1/2 pudding/topping mix on top of brownies. Repeat layers. Refrigerate overnight. Crush butterfingers and place on top before serving.

Betty Crocker's Easy Garlic, Herb & Cheese Biscuits
A fast favorite at our house. I tried them once mixed with pesto, but not nearly as good.
2c Bisquick
2/3c milk
1/2 shredded Cheddar cheese
3/4t basil, oregano, parsley, or rosemary
Mix until soft dough forms, beat vigorously 30 sec. Drop dough on cookie sheet by 10 to 12 spoonfuls (I actually usually make 6 or 7 big ones). Bake 8-10 min at 450. Mix together 1/4c melted butter and 1/4t garlic powder then brush on warm biscuits. Serve immediately. Ahhhh....

Spectacular Sides
Sidsie and I were talking the other day about cooking the same old boring things. She mentioned that she wanted to spruce up her sides, instead of always serving just plain old steamed veggies. So, here are a few of my straight from the pantry, amazing side dishes. By the way, I hardly ever measure things (including time). So all of this is approximate (sorry, Bonnie).
Carrots
Steam cut up carrots until tender. Toss with honey. Serve warm.
OR
Toss with shelled pistachios (get them at the Farmer's market). No extra salt needed.
Green beans
Saute green beans in 1-2T butter, add 1/4 c water and cover for, I don't know, 5 min? or until tender. Toss with toasted almond slivers (again, the blanched ones at YDFM are great, but you have to toast them yourself).
Asparagus
Wash and snap off tough ends of spears. Steam spears in some water in a covered skillet for ~5min. Drain. Saute spears in 2T butter, basil, salt and pepper to taste (about 1/2t basil). Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and Serve warm.
(Betty Crocker, who I've adapted this from, adds 8oz sliced mushrooms and 1/4c chopped hazelnuts, but I don't like mushrooms and never have hazelnuts so I've always cooked it this way).
Summer Squash, Zucchini and Onions
Saute sliced summer squash, zucchini and onions in 2T olive oil and 1t basil. Salt and pepper to taste. Yum!

Pumpkin Stuff
Sorry Amber, that I've not honored your request until now. I've been a complete mooch off this site so far.
I served this dessert at Book Group last October at my house and it's one of David's favorites.
Pumpkin Stuff
1 big can of pumpkin
1 can evaporated milk
1c sugar
3 eggs
2t cinnamon
1t nutmeg
1/2t ginger
1/2t cloves
Combine all, place in a 9x13 pan. Top with dry yellow cake mix, then pour 1.5 cubes of melted butter over the top (I usually use less than that, maybe 1 cube?). Bake for 50-55min at 350.
