The kids are always appreciative when there is a snack waiting for them when they get home from school. Walking in the door and smelling something warm just from the oven can even put a smile on a grumpy teenager’s face. The thank you’s and hugs make me glad I took the extra time.
Warm bread is always a hit, especially pumpkin or banana.
Pumpkin Bread
(from the Betty Crocker Cookbook)
2 2/3 c sugar
2/3 c shortening
1 can pumpkin
2/3 c water
4 eggs
3 1/3 c all purpose flour
2 t. baking soda
1 1/2 t. salt
1 t. ground cinnamon
1 t. ground cloves
1/2 t. baking powder
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease bottoms only of loaf pans (I use 3). Mix sugar and shortening. Stir in pumpkin, water and eggs. Mix in flour, soda, salt, cinnamon, cloves and baking powder. Bake until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean, 60-70 minutes.

Suzanne, Mmm, that looks good. And I grinned at the glimpse of your younger son at the table too. I understand about asking our Abba for wisdom and savoring a graduating senior too. 🙂 Me too, friend. Thanks for stopping by. Jennifer Douganwww.jenniferdougan.com

Suzanne, Yes, praying for our daughters and sons to grow up to be people who speak vulnerably, admit brokenness, and lean into prayer with loved ones… So glad to have you at my post "The Radical Choices After 'I Do.' Sorry for my delay in replying to you.Jennifer Douganwww.jenniferdougan.com
