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.

Plat de Cote de Boeuf au Cabarnet avec pates ~ Beef short ribs braised in cabernet with pearl onions, mushrooms, and pasta

With the chill in the air and the fall weather we experienced last week I naturally start thinking about warm meals of slow cooked goodness. Beef short ribs lend themselves beautifully to braising. Braising is a term used for cooking with both moist and dry heat, searing the meat first to give a nice caramelization then cooking slowly with liquid to allow the breakdown of the connective tissue. I have braised other meats before, but this was my first attempt at short ribs. I rubbed the ribs with chopped fresh thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper and let the ribs sit in the fridge overnight. The next day I seared the ribs on all sides in a heavy french oven. Remove the ribs to a plate and drain off some of the fat then add the Cabernet and brought to a boil. I added the ribs back to the french oven along with pearl onions and sliced cremini mushrooms and transferred to the oven. It cooked for two hours. I brought back to the stove top and added a two tablespoons of buerre manier to th...
