These are some Pyracantha berries from out front. Right now they look like little Pumpkins!
Two fresh loaves of my favorite Pumpkin Bread ~ right out of the oven!
Here is Doogs....tired out from all the baking. This is what he does whilst I type. ~~ Below is the cutest black cat pin cushion...keep reading to find out who made it!
Tis the season to break the bread! Pumpkin bread that is! This bread has a great texture and if you wrap it in plastic wrap and foil afterwards, it will stay good and moist. The recipe is at the bottom of this post. Good news, my dad is back home and doing so much better than last week. Many thanks to all of you sweet and lovely people who have said a prayer and for your kindness!!!!
I would also like to share a wonderful Halloween treat that Marian made!! I found her site via Heidi's site and just love her collections of old sewing items! Check out this cute cat that she made!! After seeing something similar to it on another blog, she made one for herself. They are not for sale though.....but what a great inspiration for those crafty women out there!!! You all know who you are!
**********************************************************************************
Pumpkin Bread
3 1/2 Cups all purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 Tblsp ground cinnamon (I add a little more)
1 Tblsp ground nutmeg (I add a little more)
1 Tblsp ground nutmeg (I add a little more)
2 1/2 Cups sugar
4 large eggs
1 cup canola oil
one 15-ounce can of pumpkin puree
1/2 cup water
1 tsp vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Grease and flour two 9 x 5 inch bread pans
Sift the first six ingredients together and set aside.
Mix the eggs, sugar and oil in a seperate bowl - until blended. Stir in the pumpkin, water and vanilla. Mix well.
Add the flour mixture to the wet mixture and stir it up until all of the ingredients are moist, but don't overmix.
Pour the batter evenly into the bread pans. Bake for 1 hour, or until a toothpick that is inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Remove from oven and allow the pans to cool down for 15 minutes before attempting to remove the loaves from the pans.

Oh, I love pumpkin bread. Make some tea as I will be there for a piece and a good chat. :)
I loved seeing that cat pincushion. Seems felt pincushions are all the rage this year. Or it could just be that I am too addicted.

I love anything with pumpkin in it. I made a dessert called Pumpkin Surprise the other day. I was going to post about it on my blog, but we ended up eating it all before I could get pictures, etc. Hey, maybe that gives me a reason to bake it again!
The pumpkin bread looks delicious - thanks for the recipe.

That pumpkin bread looks delicious.
Here in Australia, apart from pumpkin scones, we tend to use pumpkin in savoury dishes as a vegetable, whereas in US it seems mainly used in desserts or sweet things. I don't think I have ever seen canned pumpkin here.
So, so glad to hear your dad is at home! No place like home!
I wish I could have a piece of your pumpkin bread for breakfast. It looks yummy.......and so pretty by the pyracantha berries.
Have a great day! I'll be setting up the flowers for my friend's wedding on Saturday.
Love your blog! I am so glad to have you on mine as well! Thanks for the recipe! I am sure that I will use it this fall! You have made me quite hungry and you dog is absolutely adorable! I will be back often!
Becky, would it be alright if I add you to my blog roll? I am sure that many of my friends would enjoy your blog!
Hi Becky,
I have never had pumpkin bread, but I plan to try your recipe :) We have pumpkin scones here. They are very popular with the country folk.
Maria from Biloela, Down Under
I've been wanting to make some pumpkin bread. I think I'll try your recipe. Thanks for sharing. I'm off to check out Maria's site. So good to hear that your dad is better!
Love your blog and you just made me hungry with the home made bread. The pictures of the berries are beautiful and I love the color red and they do look like an autum bounty.
Mmmm, I love pumpkin bread. The pincushion is adorable!
Hi Becky,
It's starting to feel enough like fall to do some serious baking and I am seeing plenty of yummy recipes.
Pumpkin just says "fall" doesn't it?
Love all your decor..
Those Pyracantha berries look very colorful arranged like that..
