Happy Sunday to you! Welcome back! The last two weeks have been fun, and incredibly busy around here 🙂 Andrew’s Birthday was last Monday, Halloween was Friday, and everyday this week we were able to dress up for our many Halloween celebrations. We had a great time at the Halloween Spooktacular event in Royal Oak, and trick-or-treating in the Village. We wore our costumes to story time at the library, and had a blast celebrating with our buddies during a fun lunch party. (See, I wasn’t kidding when I said we’ve been slightly busy lately.) 🙂

Here are a few pictures from our Halloween adventures and other fun the last two weeks.

It’s amazing to think that it’s November already! You know what that means? The holiday season is just around the corner! Bring on the good food, family fun, and lots of festivities! I love the holidays and this time of year. I especially love all of the fantastic recipes and treats that go with it! Here’s a great recipe to help get you in the mood 🙂

Pumpkin Bread with Cream Cheese Frosting is so so sooooooo yummy! Pile on the frosting and wrap your lips around a delicious little slice. Your taste buds will jump for delight as they encounter this incredible pumpkin experience. Your whole house will smell amazing when it’s cooking. The hardest part is waiting for it to be done, and then letting it cool a bit, before finally digging into a slice. (Trust me, it’s worth waiting if you can ;))

My inspiration for this recipe came from Food Network’s Pumpkin Bread. While the original version was good, I decided to make a few changes to create the best pumpkin bread ever! I decreased the recipe to make just one loaf, as well as drastically corrected the cooking time. I love the addition of the icing! It really makes this bread something special.

This versatile little loaf can be paired with just about anything. I love it for breakfast, as a snack, or even for dessert, with a tall, cold glass of milk. Bake up this Pumpkin Bread with Cream Cheese Frosting to accompany your perfect Thanksgiving dinner, or Christmas morning buffet. Serve it smeared with as much icing as you can, or just a little dollop. Or you can choose to serve it plain, or even with a little pat of butter. However you decide to have it, you won’t be disappointed.

Seriously easy, and out of this world fantastic!!! Pumpkin Bread with Cream Cheese Frosting is sure to be a hit for every occasion.

Pumpkin Bread with Cream Cheese Frosting

Ingredients

    For the Pumpkin Bread:
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 3/4 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon allspice
  • 1/4 teaspoon cloves
  • 1/3 cup water
  • For the Cream Cheese Frosting:
  • 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)
  • 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 confectioners sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter (or spray with cooking spray) and flour a 9 by 5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar and oil, then mix in the eggs and pumpkin, and set aside.
  3. In a small bowl, add the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and cloves, and stir together. Gradually add the water, and flour mixture to the pumpkin mixture, slowly adding and stirring in a bit of each at a time. Mix together until smooth, and just combined.
  4. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan, and smooth top. Bake for 60-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out with a few crumbs attached. Allow to cool in pan for 10 minutes, then carefully remove from pan and cool on wire rack.
  5. To make the frosting, add cream cheese, butter, and vanilla to bowl of electric mixer. Beat on medium speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Turn mixer to low, and gradually add the confectioners sugar, 1/2 cup at a time, then gradually increase speed, and beat together until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed. Serve with pumpkin bread.
