I can’t believe I never posted this recipe! It won a prize in a local contest a few years back and it’s easy to make. The pumpkin makes it quite holidayish and it’s a great alternative for those who don’t like pumpkin pie. I am having trouble finding a picture of the original, but there’s [...]

This is some pumpkin bread from yesterday, and I’m going to take a better picture of it later. For now, here’s a photo of the chef. Fuzz couldn’t entertain herself Sunday morning so I laid out all the ingredients and told her what to do. She had a lot of fun and was very proud [...]
