Pumpkin Season!

ByMikesha Blackwell October 16, 2013

October is here and so are pumpkins!! They are everywhere right now. I love this season. I’m an avid fan of the smell and flavor of pumpkin. As soon as I seen pumpkin patches all over the city I knew it was time for some good comfort food.

Last week I made my yummy Pumpkin Bread. As I was baking, the aroma filled my house. Waking up my senses and my stomach. When the kids came home, each one of them made a comment about the pumpkin smell being back in the home. They know what every year I make my pumpkin bread to bring in the season. Hope your family will enjoy this bread as much as mines do.

Ingredients:

1 cup of oil ( I used coconut oil, melted)

3 eggs, beaten

1 (15oz) can of pumpkin puree or 2 cups of fresh, cooked pumpkin

1 Teaspoon vanilla

2 1/2 cups of white sugar

2 /1/2 cups whole wheat flour (all-purpose flour is fine)

1 Teaspoon baking soda

I Teaspoon ground nutmeg

1 Teaspoon ground allspice

1 Teaspoon ground cinimon

1 Teaspoon ground cloves

1/4 Teaspoon salt

1/2 cup of pecan or walnuts (optional)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 3500 degrees

Grease 2 loaf pans or one bundt pan

Cream oil, beaten eggs, pumpkin, and vanilla together

Sift the flour, sugar, baking soda, and all of the other seasonings

Add the flour mixture to the pumpkin mixture until combined. This would be the time to add the nuts of your choice.

Pour the mixture into the pans/pan

Bake for 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.

When done, let the bread cool for about 5 minutes before taking it out of the pan.

MMMMMmmmmmm Good!

Veggie and Potato Side Dish

Yesterday, I was so tired. I laid down after I took the kid to school at 8am. I woke up at 12pm! It was a good, long nap that was much needed. Hubby came home for lunch and said, “Good job babe! You learned how to get some rest. I’m so proud of you.” Hahaha…

Our family loves bacon. We also love pancakes and waffles. For me, it’s cheaper on the pockets to make from breakfast from scratch. You can make a big batch of pancake mix and set it in a air tight container for a later day. I’ll be posting about my mixes soon. To make Candied Bacon…
