A couple of days ago, I wandered over to Sandra's Blog and saw that she had made a gorgeous Pumpkin Loaf for her family. It looked amazing and I decided to throw caution to the wind and try to whip up a batch (can loaves be considered batches?) all by myself. Those of you who know me, know that I can only make cereal, toast and rice, so mixing and measuring is HUGE for me.
The event was not without a massive mistake. I had just measured out the three cups of sugar and had put in the 3 and 1/3 cups of flour (which was a small mistake to begin with) when I realized that instead of putting in two teaspoons of cinnamon, I had put in two teaspoons of chili pepper. Sigh. I had to throw out that batch and start anew.
The final result was something of which K2, G-Man and my brother each enjoyed two helpings. Nice, eh? Okay, so my brother and K2 could have been stroking my ego by asking for two helpings, but a four year old? Not likely. I think they really liked it!
Thanks, Sandra for this great recipe and for building my culinary confidence!

ReplyDeleteG-man and his father have not arrived home yet. Do you think that they may have pulled off the road to eat our share?
The pictures look great and can't wait to taste it. I always knew you had it in you. Congratulations!
