What's Cookin' Part...something

IN THE NEWS: "FORT WORTH, Texas - Authorities are looking for two people who allegedly stole a preacher's wallet and went on a shopping spree while he was giving a sermon about showing mercy to others." Read more HERE.

There's nothing I like better in the fall time than the scent of pumpkin spice. Mmmm. Yes, I have a Yankee Candle in Pumpkin Pie--which is pretty good--but nothing can beat the smell of REAL pumpkin bread baking.

So I made some.

I only have a teeny bit left since I gave some to a neighbor and the kiddo has been chowing on it since it came out of the oven. (I add chocolate chips to this recipe which makes it extra yummy.)

I think I'll make some more today.

Here's the recipe I use:

Pumpkin Bread

1/2 c butter

1 c sugar

1/3 c water

2 eggs

1c canned pure pumpkin

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp nutmeg

1 tsp vanilla

1 2/3 c flour

1/2 c chocolate chips

*************************************

Preheat oven 350. Grease a 9x5x3 inch loaf pan.

Cream butter and sugar. Stir in eggs, water, vanilla, and pumpkin.

Blend in dry ingredients.

Bake 60-70 min.

ENJOY!
