Cream Cheese Pumpkin Bread

"This is a yummy, moist, and mildly spiced bread. I use homemade pumpkin puree which is similar to the canned. I grind my own whole wheat flour so it is very fine."

  1. Absolutely amazing!!! My mom who is very picky loved it so I am making another one for her. I added walnuts to it to add just a little bit of crunch, and it was awesome. Love this recipe:-)
     
  2. Rave reviews from everyone in the family. I made both loaves & sent DH & DD over to a neighbor's house. His wife just had surgery & a warm loaf of this bread was a nice treat for them. The loaves were moist, the brandy a nice touch & the cheesecake like top was like icing on a cake. Always the best part, IMHO. lol Thanks for sharing, Kaarin! Made for My 3 Chefs, Nov 2008.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm a stay at home mom with 3 adorable children-an 8 year old daredevil son, a 5 1/2 year old princess and a wild little 2 year old girl! I love to cook, and like having my little helpers in the kitchen! I usually love recipes that are completely from scratch (I still love them actually) but right now my focus is on having any kind of food ready by mealtime! It's a little crazy here lately. Every summer we have a huge organic garden, apple orchard and raspberry and blueberry patches, along with a woods full of wild foods waiting for me to learn what they are so I can collect them. I'm learning about wild mushrooms first, so if anyone has any tips, let me know. We also eat wild venison which my husband and I hunt ourselves. It's our favorite meat, since it's lean, organic and cheap! Some of my hobbies are: hiking, biking, rock climbing, gardening, playing in the water with my kids, or just swinging in the hammock with a good book. I go stir crazy if I spend too much time inside.
