I apologize for the lack of posting these past 3 weeks.....but we have come down with a strange bug that includes, a bad cold, pink-eye, and strep throat. Fun huh? So I thought that I would let you know that I am still alive, and as we are starting to get better, you just might see some more posts!

1. It is basically an online devotional blog for young woman and girls.
2. It is very, God honoring! I am sure that even young girls could glean something from their writings!

Pumpkin Bread!

I have a delicious recipe to share! We bought some Libby's Pumpkin, and there was a recipe on the can for a Pumpkin Roll, well since we are a big family pumpkin rolls are a bit to much "to do" so I simply altered the recipe to make it different as well as to fit our family!

(Note: This recipe is very easy, and can easily be reduced to fit your family. Although tripling is not advised!)

Pumpkin Bread

1 1/2 cups of white flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp cloves
1 tsp. Cinnamon
2 cup cane sugar (or white, I used 1 cup cane, and 1 cup brown)
6 eggs
2 cups of canned pumpkin (or your own pumpkin puree)

Preheat Oven to 375 degrees F. Mix eggs and sugar in a bowl. Add pumpkin. Beat. Then in another bowl sift the dry ingredients together. Add to pumpkin mixture. Spread into large pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Let cool. if desired top with cream-cheese frosting. Enjoy!

Cream Cheese Frosting:

1 16oz. package of cream cheese
2-3 TBSP of whole or 2% milk.
1 TBSP vanilla
4 1/2 cups of icing sugar

Beat till smooth and creamy. Double the sugar, milk, and vanilla, and mix some more to make for 2 sheet cakes.

Enjoy!

Hope you enjoyed!

P.S. In case you are wondering we got about 21-23 jars of applesauce. I cannot remember! (We had 21 in the picture but we gave 2 away to our friends)
