Pumpkin Bread

Pumpkin Bread

What’s fall without pumpkin bread?  Seriously – if you don’t like pumpkin, sorry, but what is wrong with you?  If you’re not from New England, and you don’t like pumpkin, then you get a free pass.  I could literally eat pumpkin bread every day of the year, but I somehow hold off until the fall.  When I was in college, I looked forward from that finals week care package, filled…

Pumpkin Bread French Toast

October 31, 2012

Pumpkin Bread French Toast.  Either your mouth is watering, or you’re turned off.  Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day, why?  I don’t know.  What I do know, is no matter what time I wake up, 8am, 11am, 3pm, or 7pm, the first thing I need to have is something “breakfast” related; i.e. cereal, pancakes, eggs, etc.  I got the idea from a lovely wine bar – DiWine –…

Pumpkin Whoopie Pies

Pumpkin Whoopie Pies

One of our favorite things to add to a dessert, besides peanut butter, is pumpkin.  It does not even have to be fall for me to eat a good pumpkin pie. A classic American treat, the Whoopie Pie, otherwise known as a “black-and-white,” got its start as being a delicious treat in lunch pails.  Wives of farmers would bake these treats once in a while for their husbands and pack…
