Here in the midwest, fall has definitely arrived! Last night, we went to our nephew's football game immediately after work and we were FREEZING in the stands! Even those dressed in sweaters & sweatshirts were cold! (I must admit it was quite nice to be snuggled extra close to my hubby as we both were trying to warm up!) We truly love the fall season. The leaves here this week have really started to change...it's so beautiful! (Oh, and my nephew's team won -- woohoo!)Kim from Seasons of my Heart and a few of her friends take part in "Food for Friday" so I decided to jump on the bandwagon to share some of our fall favorites, too! Today's recipe comes from our lovely friend, Susan Sumner. She was a former neighbor, and one we just adore! I think of her each time I make this. It is WONDERFUL and seemingly foolproof. (I've made many times and it always turns out yummy!)
Pumpkin Bread
(makes 3 loaves)
3 cups sugar
1 cup oil
4 eggs
1 reg. size can of pumpkin
1 1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon cloves
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
3 1/3 cups of flour
Oatmeal or Sliced Almonds (optional)
Pour batter into 3 greased and floured loaf pans. If you'd like, sprinkle on a little oatmeal or a few sliced almonds on top. Bake for approximately 90 minutes at 325 degrees (or when toothpick inserted comes out clean). As you might have guessed, this is not low-fat...but it is DELICIOUS! Enjoy!
Happy weekend to you!
Tracy,
ReplyDeleteThis recipe looks awesome! Happy Friday to you. Blessings to you today, sweet sister.
Oh, that does sound so delicious!
ReplyDeleteIt's not fall here.
Yesterday we had new windows put in our home. At one point all of the windows in the house were out and it was so hot! 100+ here STILL.
They say it is supposed to get into the 80's this weekend with some rain ~ bring it on!
I'm going to the homecoming football game tonight with the family. It's a warm day today, but I'm sure it'll feel cold tonight.
ReplyDeleteThe recipe looks yummy!
Enjoy fall and the Friday food.
