Pumpkin Bread + {1 year blogging anniversary! }

This pumpkin bread is dangerously good! I found this recipe on Pinterest and wanted to share it with you all!



Ingredients
Bread: 3/4 cup canola oil
2 eggs
1 Tbsp vanilla
1 cup pumpkin puree
1 cup flour
1 cup sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

 Streusel topping:
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
4 Tbsp cold butter, cut into small cubes

Instructions Preheat oven to 350 degrees Grease Loaf pan (I used a 9x5 loaf pan). In a large bowl, mix oil, eggs, vanilla and pumpkin. Add 1 cup of flour, sugar, baking soda, salt and 1/2 tsp of cinnamon and mix until just combined. Pour batter into loaf pan.

For the streusel topping: In a separate small bowl, combine remaining 1/2 cup flour, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, brown sugar and butter and mix with pastry cutter until coarse crumbs form. Sprinkle topping evenly over batter. Bake 50-60 minutes or until toothpick inserted into center of bread comes out clean.

Fall Bucket List

Last Night while i was in the check out line at Joanna's buying stuff for the many dream catchers I have to make, it dawned on me that we are more than half way through September and I 

haven't done anything fall related ! The past few years the holidays and season seem to be flying by and 

this year I really want to make the most of it and soak up every second of it. So I spent the 

morning on Pinterest looking for inspiration and making a fall bucket list. ..
