Pumpkin bread and harvest butter

Is your mouth watering yet?

Pumpkin Bread

3 1/2 cups sifted flour (note: I never sift my flour)

2 teaspoons soda

1 1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup oil

4 eggs

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon ground nutmeg

1 teaspoon ground clove

3 cups sugar

2/3 cup water

3 cups pureed pumpkin

  • Combine and mix all ingredients well.
  • Pour into 2 loaf pans (I’ve also made muffins).
  • Bake at 350-degrees for 1 hour.

Harvest Butter

1 stick butter, softened

1/2 cup honey

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon ground nutmeg

The kids love this, too. And pumpkin is full of disease-fighting nutrients!

Mouthwatering Monday: Cream Cheese Danish

by Monica on August 17, 2009

PICT0010

2 (10 ounce) cans refrigerated crescent roll dough (now they make it in solid sheets without the seams!)

2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup white sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 teaspoons sour cream

1 jar of your favorite jam/preserves (I use Polaner All Fruit Seedless Red Raspberry), stirred until thin and smooth

Topping:

1 cup confectioners sugar

1 tablespoon milk

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Line bottom of baking pan with 1 can of crescent rolls. Pinch all seams together to seal.
  • In a large bowl, mix together cream cheese, white sugar, vanilla extract and sour cream. Spread filling on top of rolls.
  • Layer on the fruit filling.
  • Place second can of rolls on top of filling.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 30 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, stir together confectioners’ sugar, milk and butter. After Danish has cooled, drizzle with icing.

This stuff is AMAZING!! Bake a pan of these. Brew a pot of coffee. Call your friends to come over!
