One of the best pumpkin breads I have tasted. -
Just Perfect! I made this for the people in my office and they went nuts! It was gone before lunch time! This bread is easy and out of this world! THANK YOU for the post! PS....I used both nutmeg & cinnamon and it was just perfect! -
This bread is AMAZING! Made for a brunch and it was raved about by everyone! Moist, light, and perfect flavor! I added toasted, lightly salted pumpkin seeds to the top right before baking for a nice presentation and flavor contrast -
Yummy! I made this for our Queens Birthday long weekend, and it was fabulous. -
This was pretty good bread. It needed some honey butter spread on it to make it excellent. It has a lovely orange color. I used 1/4 tsp each cinnamon and allspice. I'm afraid I probably won't make this again b/c I was spoiled by a lady who made the BEST pumpkin bread ever and she wouldn't give up the recipe (don't you hate that?) so I will continue my search.

Fabulous bread! I substituted 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice for the spices listed because I couldn't decide which spice I wanted to use. The bread was very moist and didn't last very long at all!!

My family has a recipe heritage from Finland, Germany, Switzerland, and Italy. Also, I like to try new foods from all sorts of places, this is an american tradition. Some of my favorite recipes are from a Girl Scout cookbook.
This is because I am a Girl Scout Leader. During the summer, for one week, I volunteer as Girl Scout program manager at our daycamp. I help manage crafts, songs, games, activities around a central theme. At the same daycamp I am the bus lady. I say things like" Sit down ,don't poke your neighbor." or "Who wants to vote on what song to sing?" I love it.
Ok, now what else do I think is worth doing for fun? I like to garden in our yard. My all time favorite "cookbook" is a recipe box from my great grandma, grandma, and mother, in thier own handwriting. My second most favorite cookbook is Mrs. Beeton's all about cookery New Edition circa 1913. I am passionate about people, pets, children.
i like attending and volunteering at native american pow wows, summer picnics and meetings. it is a good welcoming club. t native american thru daughter.happy to have learned few recipes there.
If I had a month off no work, no responsibilities I would do arts and crafts and read books all night long sleeping in late each morning. I would go to museums in the afternoon, then to the library to get more books. I would cook and eat foods that I remember from my childhood.
