Fall Baking



Last week, Stpehen and Auntie made Jello Jigglers. These were cherry and Stephen loved eating 'cherry jigglers and whipped cream'. For the next 3 days, he would say, 'Ama, I'm thinking of something red and white....'
 
 
Cooking cutters and jello to cut into shapes
 
Pressing down hard!
 
Finished product!

Today we did some fall baking. Yesterday I was doing spring cleaning (maybe I have my sesasons backwards). We made pumpkin bread and pita bread. The pumpkin bread we are taking to our neighbors, so we made mini loaves. The pita bread is to make pita pizzas for lunch!

The pumpkin bread is fantastic and I HIGHLY recommend this recipe: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/pumpkin-bread-iv/detail.aspx?event8=1&prop24=SR_Title&e11=pumpkin%20bread&e8=Quick%20Search&event10=1&e7=Home%20Page. As one reviewer suggested, I used all applesauce and no oil. It is soooo good and as Auntie said, tastes like fall in every bite!

 

 
Getting set up. We required 3 bowls because there was SO much batter! The original recipe made 3 normal size loaves and we doubled it. Next time I'll do one recipe at a time, just so it can all fit in one bowl.

Off to deliver our pumpkin bread!
