There is nothing that says “fall” quite like pumpkin bread. Every home chef should have a go to recipe in their baking collection. This recipe slices well making it perfect for lunch box snacks and the extra loaf is perfect for with neighbors.
October is the perfect time to purge your spice shelf and replace old stale baking spices and baking powder and soda . Look for sales at your local grocery store. You might consider writing the date you purchased your spices on the bottom of each jar. It helps you remember when you bought something. Nothing ruins a baked treat like ingredients that have lost their potency.
