Baking

This was the weekend of baking. I had some Bananas over ripe and a craving for banana bread. While at the store for the small foil loafs tins, the pumpkin spoke to me and i figured if I was making one yummy quick bread i mite as well add another. So I picked up some pumpkin as well. The original excuse for making them was to try out the new silicone baking cups and see how well they work. In reality it has been a while. I missed the smell of fresh baked goodies. (The taste too).

The banana bread came out just fine. I have a good go to recipe for that.

The pumpkin bread I had a Recipe I liked but didn't hold onto it, unfortunate really. One of the things I don't like about most of the recipes for pumpkin bread is that they all have oil as the fat. I just don't keep vegetable oil in the house. I had not really planed ahead so all that was in the house was Olive Oil. Olive Oil has a distinct taste to it. To save you the future trouble let me say that it does not taste good in pumpkin bread. I will have to make another batch this weekend to redeem myself. (to myself as Pat seems to like the pumpkin bread anyway).

And no I'm not going to go out and get oil. I'm going to make my banana bread recipe with pumpkin and spices. If it turns out then I will forever have a great banana bread and pumpkin bread recipe. Then I can worry about other things like getting the Pulled pork to turn out better. Or at all.
