Of course I couldn't make pumpkin soup and pumpkin birthday cake without making some yummy pumpkin bread. The aroma of it baking in the oven elicited the warmest of warm fall fuzzies. I love the smell of cinnamon...it's the coziest spice of all.
I used an Epicurious recipe (found here).
I think this will be it for pumpkin recipes for awhile. But come November, I'll make pumpkin pies. Also, due to the abundance of pumpkins the garden produced this year (I counted twenty-five yesterday), I may make Pumpkin Walnut Bread to give as gifts over the holidays.
Our pumpkin plant, on average, was supposed to produce four to five pumpkins...so not sure how ours exploded to five times that amount. Perhaps the pumpkins were trying to make up for the tomatoes that didn't fair so well.
Happy pumpkin season to you! xo
Mmmmh, I can smell that delicious fragrance through the photos!
ReplyDeletePumpkins are so cheerful and charming, aren't they?

Trina, your pumpkin walnut bread looks divine....I shall have to try it. I remember growing up when my family planted a pumpkin patch in our garden....we had so many too....I'm guessing over 50. We used a lot of them to decorate the porch for Fall, then my mom cooked a bunch up, pureed their insides and froze the puree for pies and baked goods. Such fond memories. Treasures in life. ;)
ReplyDeleteYou lucky thing, all those tasty pumpkins at your disposal! The bread looks delish, I can almost smell it from here.. I love making pumpkin scones as well.. mmm
ReplyDeleteYour plant must be on steroids or something, Enjoy,

Can I just tell you how beautiful your blog is? When it pops up as one my favorites, I just delight in how clean and simple it is.
ReplyDeletedid your pumpkins turn out big or are they small?
ReplyDeletehow fun!
oh, to have land to grow pumpkins!!!
I dunno...could be something in the air over by you. Pumpkins doubling their crop...and you doubling yours!
ReplyDeleteLooks perfectly fall-tastic....think I can even smell the cinnamon from here!
Mmmm. This looks so good!
ReplyDeleteMaybe your pumpkin plant knew it would make wonderful things...thus the abundance!
Hmmmmm... I can just imagine how wonderful this must taste and smell!

ReplyDeleteHi Trina...I was wondering if you were going to make pumpkin bread! It looks delicious and it's so pretty on the marble with your *beautiful* knife cozying up right next to it!
ReplyDeleteIt's must be nice to know your land produces extremely happy pumpkins...they settled and multiplied. Maybe if we have a warmer summer next year your tomatoes will do the same.
I think some pumkin bread is in order now!
xoxo J~
Can't wait to try this recipe! I make a pumpkin walnut craisin bread pudding every season that always makes it into the Christmas brunch line up becuase it is just super yummy.

ReplyDeleteDelicious! and lots of organic pumpkins to be found.
ReplyDeleteI'd post something but have to go make some pumpkin bread......
ReplyDeleteneeded some smellivision for this post. That bread looks like it probably tastes delicious. Wow, 25 pumpkins! I think your idea to make pumpkin walnut bread to give as gifts is a great idea.
ReplyDeleteThe pumpkin cake looked so yummy that I made it and took it to work. Everyone loved it. Since it only took half a can of pumpkin, I still have half a can left. I was going to make another cake, but now I'm thinking I might have to make the pumpki bread!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to give this one a try. Great idea to make bread for gifts.. from the kitchen and your own garden!

I think the "fertility" of all the involved parties had to do with the water; it was in the water :o) You are Blessed!

Hello Trina! Love your blog- and love your farmhouse! It's fun to nest and your house is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOh, that is so my favorite bread and I love walnuts to go in it. I'm going to try the recipe. Thanks for the link. I smell the goodness already!
ReplyDeleteThat looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteOh, goodness!
ReplyDeletem ^..^
I saw the recipe, and it looks delish! The sour cream and lemon was something different. thanks for sharing. I love fall!
ReplyDeleteThat recipe sounds amazing! I will definitely try it!!
ReplyDeleteTried and true! Yep, I tried the pumpkin bread recipe and heartily agree with you. It's scrumptious. I donate baked goods for our little theater company to sell in their lobby during intermission. I'm thinking I might use the same recipe for them only butter and sugar the inside of a bundt pan because that crunch of the granulated sugar was a tasty bonus. They would still be able to sell it by-the-slice too and make a little extra money.
