Today is Veteran's Day here in America & our local high school has a program to honor those men & women who have served. Before the program they offer them a nice breakfast and our daughters took some home-made pumpkin bread for them that I had baked last night. It's something that I'm thankful they do. You can never thank veteran's enough for the time they have served our country.
Here's the recipe I used.
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter or margarine, softened
- 3 cups sugar
- 3 eggs
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cloves
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 1 (16 ounce) can solid pack pumpkin
Directions
- In a mixing bowl, dream butter and sugar. Add eggs; mix well. Combine dry ingredients; stir into creamed mixture just until moistened. Stir in pumpkin. Pour into two greased 9-in. x 5-in. x 3-in. loaf pans. Bake at 350 degrees F for 1 hour or until bread tests done.
After I finished slicing & plating all the bread for the veteran's our son asked if he could take some for one of his teachers who is currently on maternity leave. We sacked up some pieces & ran it by her house before school. I love it that he is thoughtful. And, I love it that we live in a small town where things like that are possible. It's a pretty good life!
