Pumpkin Bread Recipe

Arielle requested my recipe, here you go my friend!

PumpkinBread1-2/3 cups all purpose flour
1-1/2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
2 eggs
1 cup canned pumpkin
1/2 cup canola oil
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup raisins, optional

*Tip: let your eggs sit out and get to room temperature!

Preheat oven to 350 degrees
In a large bowl combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, baking powder, nutmeg and cloves.

In a small bowl, whisk the eggs, pumpkin, oil and water. Stir in into the dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in the walnuts and raisins if desired.

Pour into a greased (I spray mine with cooking spray) 9 x 5 in. loaf pan. Bake for 65-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Cool in pan for about 15 minutes and remove from pan place on a wire rack. Yields one loaf.

(I tripled my batch and made 3 loaves out of it)!

Cheesy But Fun Movie!

Hey we all need a little cheesy in our life sometimes! tee hee This morning I watched Grumpy Cat’s Worst Christmas Ever…GrumpyCatgrumpycatnewmainGrumpy cat is a lonely cat living in a mall pet shop and never gets chased by customers. She develops a sour outlook on life until a special 12 year old girl named Chrystal enters the pet store and falls in love with her after realizing she is the only person who can hear this unique cat talk.

It was a cheesy movie and silly but I enjoyed it just the same! A fun holiday chuckle!

Crafts and Baking Fun…..

BlurryMooseDrinkDarn this came out blurry and I hadn’t had my drink yet! My holiday moose and my Red Moscatto Champagne! The Champagne is very good! EmptyLotSoonToBeBuiltOnThis empty lot is on Bear’s and my walk route. It used to have a house on it. Someday soon it will have retirement homes on it. Too bad it couldn’t have been a dog park! That would have been cool. DoilyStackYay I am done with my doily stack for a while! Now time to work on other projects! These turned out awesome!

Our Feast……..

OurFeastOur meal turned out awesome! Doesn’t look like much turkey on our platter but I only carved what we needed for our dinner. I cooked a 25 pound bird so we have lots of left overs for the week and were able to send a nice feast home with my husband’s son! He was smiling from ear to ear!!

I am happy because my favorite team the Green Bay Packers won their game today! AWESOME!!!!!!! GreenDoilyI completed another doily project! As you can tell I  am making lots of holiday ones this year! They are a quick and very fun project!

ANeighborsPrettyLightsOn our way back home from dropping of hubby’s son we stopped so I could take a pic of a neighborhood house all decorated for Christmas. They did a good job!
