pumpkin pleasures

Though turkey is the star of tomorrow's feast, I'm all about the pumpkin.  I love it.  Pumpkin pie, pumpkin bars {with cream cheese frosting, of course}, pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin candles, pumpkin bread.  Normally by this time I would have already made several loaves of pumpkin bread to enjoy and share with family and friends.  I'm having a hard time balancing Nora and baking (or doing much of anything for that matter), but I had a goal to make a few loaves of pumpkin bread to take and enjoy at Thanksgiving.

Success!


If you'd like to try...

Pumpkin Bread
3 1/2 c. flour
1 tsp. nutmeg
1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
2 tsp. baking soda
16 oz. pumpkin
3 c. sugar
4 eggs
1 c. oil
2/3 c. water
1 tsp. vanilla

Mix all together.  Pour into pans (I do 2 large).  Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 1 hour.
