I'm making a grocery list and I thought I would share this with you all. This is a favorite that I bring to Thanksgiving dinner. It's quick, easy and very moist. (Hey, that sounds like a bad date I had once. ) Anyway, if you're invited for dinner somewhere, you can bring this and impress your hosts. It makes 2 loaves, so you can keep one and have it with your morning coffee. If you have any other tried and true yummy appetizers or side dishes, share with us!

Pumpkin Bread

3 1/2 cups Flour
3 cups Sugar
1 tsp. Nutmeg
1 tsp. Cinnamon
1 tsp. Allspice
1/2 tsp. Baking Powder
2 tsp. Baking Soda
1/2 t. Salt
1 cup Oil
4 eggs
2 cups canned Pumpkin
1/2 cup chopped Walnuts (optional)

Stir together the dry ingredients. Add the remaining ingredients and mix until blended.
Pour into 2 greased and lightly floured loaf pans.

I got turned on to a downright orgasmic horsdeouvre (sp?) recently. Simple, easy and oh so good!

Take one of your favorite crackers (Carr's Table Water crackers work well). Spread some cream cheese on it. Top with a sun dried tomato (they come in jars - I don't know brand names).

Prepare to slide off your chair.

Mmmmmmmmmmmm!

Cheesecake is my downfall! This sounds very good.


The crackers/cream cheese/sundried tomatoes sound yummy! I love sundried tomatoes add cream cheese and it sounds perfect!

Here is a yummy recipe. It's almost like a dessert it's so good!

Berry Mallow Yam Bake

1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup quick cooking oats, uncooked
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 17 oz. cans yams, drained
2 cups cranberries (fresh, uncooked)
1 1/2 cups miniature marshmellows (I really don't
use this much)
1/3 cup butter or margarine

Combine flour, brown sugar, quick oats and cinnamon. Cut in 1/3 cup butter or margarine until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Toss 1 cup crumb mixture with yams and cranberries; place in 1 1/2 qt. casserole. Top with remaining crumbs. Bake in 350 oven for 35 min.

Sprinkle with mini-marshmellows. Broil until lightly browned.


(This makes a lot, so you can cut the recipe in half for smaller groups)

I actually use my grandmother's receipe for sweet potatoes. I bake my potatoes at 350 for about an hour. Add 3 bananas for the last 5-7 minutes. peel and mix them until creamy. Add a stick of butter and 1/2 cup sugar. Add cinnamon and all spice to taste. Top with Chopped pecans, 1/2 stick butter, and 1/2 C flour mised and crumbled on top. Bake at 350 until browned. YUM....

I also made my grandmother's Egg Bread Dressing with enough left over to stuff the turkey just caues the turkey isn't large enough to hold all that dressing. My grandmother will be missed this year but hopefully the food will be as good.

Yummy, yummy... I baked it on Monday. I've been eating it for breakfast since then. Too bad I have to share the other loaf.

I used pumpkin pie spice instead of Allspice, since I had it already and I figured it would work.

All this pumpkin talk reminds me of an old joke...

What's the difference between an oil rig and an Ohioan ?

The oil rig "kin pump"....Ohioans "pump kin."
Okay....that's my useless contribution....carry on.

From the goo thread yesterday, here is my recipe for the goo filled choco cakes that Ophra sells for too much money:

5 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, chopped
10 tablespoons (1 1/4 sticks) unsalted butter
3 large eggs
3 large egg yolks
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup all purpose flour

Vanilla ice cream

For cakes: Preheat oven to 450°F. Butter six 3/4-cup soufflé dishes or custard cups. Stir chocolate and butter in heavy medium saucepan over low heat until melted. Cool slightly. Whisk eggs and egg yolks in large bowl to blend. Whisk in sugar, then chocolate mixture and flour. Pour batter into dishes, dividing equally. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; chill.)

Bake cakes until sides are set but center remains soft and runny, about 11 minutes or up to 14 minutes for batter that was refrigerated. Run small knife around cakes to loosen. Immediately turn cakes out onto plates. Serve with ice cream.

Makes 6.


yum.

Thank you thank you thank you. Made this recipe (after dear husband forwarded it to me) and it was delicious!! Our 7 year old son loves it too and the people at work think I'm wonderful (well, they think that about anyone that brings in homemade goodies).

Have any more?

Yippee, I'm glad you liked it too! No, I can't think of any others to share. I hate to cook and don't put a lot of effort into it! That's why I like that recipe so much, it tastes so good but it's really easy.
