Pumpkin Bread

Thanksgiving is right around the corner so here is a recipe for pumpkin bread I think you will enjoy. This makes a nice sized loaf of very moist pumpkin bread. Since we have recently been working around a dairy and soy allergy, I especially like it because there is no dairy in the bread itself. I have included the recipe for the streusel topping. I have been using goat butter (most people allergic to cow’s milk are not allergic to goat milk) in the streusel and haven’t been able to tell a difference in flavor. If you don’t want to bother with the streusel topping just dust the top with powdered sugar or serve with some fresh whipped cream. This bread has been a popular breakfast item at our house this fall.




1 ½ cup sugar

½ cup vegetable oil

2 eggs

1 can organic pumpkin

1/3 cup water

1 3/4 cup all purpose flour

1 t baking soda

¾ t salt

½ t nutmeg

½ cinnamon

Streusel Topping

1/3 cup flour

1/3 cup sugar

1 T cinnamon

2T Butter (or goat butter)

Place dry ingredients in mixing bowl then cut in butter with pastry blender or fork. Sprinkle on top of batter in loaf pan prior to baking.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper so that paper gets folded out over the longest sides of the pan. Mix sugar and oil with mixer. Add eggs and mix well. Add pumpkin and blend, and then add water and blend. Combine remaining ingredients and mix well into the pumpkin batter. Pour into loaf pan and top with streusel and bake for 1 hour. Remove from oven and let cool. Lift sides of parchment to remove loaf from pan.

Warm soup for frosty weather

Roasted Tomato Soup This is a great alternative to canned tomato soup. No further explanation needed, you already know how I feel about canned items. Try this I promise you will find it quick, easy, and more delicious. 12-15 Roma Tomatoes, quartered and seeded 4 cloves of garlic, peeled fresh thyme sprigs 1 large onion cut into chunks Extra Virgin Olive Oil 2 cups quality chicken stock ¾ cup half and half or milk Honey to taste Salt and pepper to taste To seed your tomatoes you want to cut them in half lengthwise. Using your fingers gouge out the pockets on pulp and seeds so that you are left with just the tomato “shell”. Cut in half again so you are left with quarters. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Arrange tomato, garlic, and onion on baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and liberally salt and pepper. Roast in a 350 degree oven for approximately thirty minutes. The end result should be somewhat caramelized on the edges and completely tender. At thi

Salmon Cakes When you are craving crab cakes, but the budget doesn’t allow it what’s a girl to do? Salmon cakes! This recipe uses wild caught canned Alaskan salmon so it’s super budget friendly. We all know we are supposed to eat fish several times a week and that we should only eat wild caught salmon so this recipe is an excellent way to accomplish that. My personal preference is to only eat wild caught  Alaskan salmon, not labeled Atlantic as it is farmed, and not labeled farmed. Salmon Cakes 3 6 oz. cans Wild Caught Canned Salmon 1 shallot minced 1/2 red bell pepper finely diced 1/4 cup mayo 1 t dry mustard 1 t dill 2 eggs 3/4 cup bread crumbs Salt and pepper Mix all ingredients and form into equal size cakes and sauté. Tarter Sauce 1 cup real mayonnaise 1 T finely diced shallot 2 T pickle relish 1 t lemon juice 2 t dill Fresh ground pepper Mix all ingredients. Enjoy!
