loave pans

a friend gave me a gift this week. i tried making wheat bread in it, i need practice on how much dough to put in each one. it was amazing to put it in my oven

pumpkin bread

this is one of the pumpkin bread recipes i made this week, can you guess what is missing and why it fell this way.

you would think it was yeast or baking powder. NOPE I forgot the pumpkin

pumpkin biscuits and syrup

I have really enjoyed cutting up, cooking and freezing pumpkin this week. I may end up giving away part of it before we move but it looks beautiful in the freezer. I wish pumpkin was something that canned well and I wish I knew how to can. To date I think I have made 15 loaves of pumpkin bread. okay, I am off topic. Here is the recipe, just for crystal who reminded me I had it a month ago.
Pumpkin Biscuits
2.5 cup all purpose baking mix (bisquick)
1/3 cup dry milk (can someone tell me how to buy this cheaper)
1/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup pumpkin
1 T water
1 1/4 pumpkin spice
Preheat 435
COMBINE baking mix, dry milk, sugar and pumpkin pie spice in medium bowl. Stir in pumpkin and water until just moistened
KNEAD dough 10 times on lightly floured surface. roll dough to 1/2 inch thickness. cut into 12 biscuits. place on ungreased baking sheet 2 inches apart.
BAKE 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. spoon sauce over

Pumpkin maple syrup
mix 1 cup pumpkin, 1 cup maple syrup (pancake syrup), 1/4 t cinnamon in saucepan until warm

MY NOTES:
love it but a little pricey because of the milk
I did not roll out my biscuits, just used the large pampered chef scoop and did drop biscuits.
I also doubled both recipes and it was great.
The biscuits did seem a little moist when being dropped on baking stone but they cooked perfectly

pumpkin patch cake

Thursday was Hope and her art teachers birthday. So I decided to make them a cake for co-op. Then Rob got involved. So what ended up happening was I iced a sheet cake with homemade chocolate icing and then we took ground up chocolate grahm crackers and sprinkled on top to look like dirt. Then we took two bundt cakes and iced them with homemade orange frosting to look like a pumpkin. I made rice krispy treats for the stem and iced them with green icing. We then layed candy corn pumpkins all over the top.
Everyone enjoyed it.

Happy Birthday Rob

mudd

After watching the little couple on TV Rob asked me to make MUDD. So I took chocolate grahm crackers (left overs from the pumpkin cake) and layered into the bowl with pudding (mixed with cool whip) then more grahm crackers and more pudding, after each layer I added a few gummy worms. They all loved it.
