Do I Have to Put a Title?

I don't always think of a good title for blog posts. Oh well. 

When I'm not working I've been spending time with family/friends as well as COOKING! 

I do love to make food, it is just so rewarding! Last week I made Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread...

Just wait till you see the inside... 

Here is the recipe from CuisineNie 

• 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, at room temperature, plus more for pan
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• one can (15 oz) pumpkin puree
• 2 large eggs
• 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees;. Butter a 9-by-5-by-3-inch loaf pan; set aside. In an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter and sugar with pumpkin until light and fluffy. Add eggs, and beat to incorporate.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Add to the butter mixture, and mix until just combined. Add sour cream, and vanilla; mix to combine. Stir in chocolate chips, and pour into prepared pan.
3. Bake until a cake tester inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 1 hour 10 minutes. Let rest in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a rack to cool.
   
   
   This week I have also had a little time to play around with my new lens! 

 

Wowzers, I've been a productive little lady! For that I give myself a pat, pat, pat on the back.
