Pumpkin Bread

Tis the season for pumpkins! I'm starting to see them at the grocery store, on my neighbors' porches, and have put up a few around my own home as well. But even more than looking at pumpkins, I love eating them in pumpkin bread! This bread will not only please your palate, your home will be filled with a wonderful fragrance, perfect for Fall ! Thanks to the pumpkin puree and vanilla yogurt, this bread is so moist and when topped with chopped pecans is a sweet bread classic. Eat it plain or try a slice topped with cream cheese. Either way it is sure to satisfy!





3 eggs
2 cups sugar
1/3 cup oil
2 cups vanilla yogurt
1 16 oz can pumpkin puree
4 teaspoons cinnamon
4 teaspoons nutmeg
3 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon baking soda
1/2 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 cup chopped pecans


Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Beat eggs until foamy, add sugar, oil, yogurt, pumpkin, cinnamon, and nutmeg and mix well. In a separate bowl sift together, flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder. Add dry ingredients slowly to the yogurt mixture and mix until moist. Pour into 2 greased and floured 9x5x13-inch loaf pans. Sprinkle pecans onto tops of each loaf. Press down lightly on the nuts to help them stick better. Bake for 35-40 minutes. Loaves should be golden brown on top.

Note: If you love baking sweet breads in miniature, as I do, use 6 mini-loaf pans and decrease the baking time by about 10 minutes. Enjoy!

Bakery style Strawberry Muffins

New recipe! Can you even believe it?! Kirsti and I decided we need to get back in the habit of sharing our favorite recipes by sharing at least one a month so here you go:   I’m starting off with these scrumptious strawberry muffins. Extra large and fluffy, these muffins are bursting with strawberry bits and topped with the most delicious strawberry glaze. If you end up with extra glaze, go ahead and drizzle some extra.  No judgement here :)   Even if you already love the previous strawberry muffins on our blog, you need to try these- they are the only ones I'll be making from here on out.  They're that good!

Chocolate Covered Cream Balls

Several years ago, I sampled a Milk Chocolate Coconut at See's Candies.  It was love at first bite.  Ever since then I have made a mandatory stop every time I went into the mall to get one of these delicious chocolates.  I love them so much !  However, there are two things I didn't like about them.  1) I had to go to the mall to get them, and 2) they are SO expensive.  I think the last time I was there I paid about 75 cents for 1 chocolate.

Bread Twists

These are my new go-to bread sticks for two reasons - taste and time. They have a wonderful buttery/garlic flavor and the kosher salt adds a delightful savory crunch.  The other thing I love about these is how quickly they come together.  It only takes one hour from start to finish.  One hour!  That's almost unheard of for a yeast bread.  Try these out next time you want some bread with your dinner but are short on time.
