Happy Birthday to my wonderful Mother!  She is always there when I call and need her to listen.  I pray that she has a fabulous birthday!

I have absolutely no idea how she did it with triplets.  And look at Schultz, he was looking at the camera asking, “please make it stop.”

Mom’s Pumpkin Bread

Pumpkin Bread square

 

Anyone who knows my Mom knows she is an amazing cook and baker.  She has so many recipes that she has been baking since I was little and now I am making them myself.  The other day I wanted to make some pumpkin bread and knew that I needed to ask her for her recipe.  It was easy, came out delicious and I can’t wait to make some more of it!

Mom’s Pumpkin Bread

3 Eggs

1 can pumpkin

3/4 C vegetable oil

1/2 C water

Beat until mixed up.  Then add:

2 1/2 C flour

2 1/4 C sugar

1 1/2 tsp. baking soda

1 1/4 tsp salt

3/4 tsp nutmeg

3/4 tsp cinnamon

1 c raisins

1/2 c nuts (if you want, I never do :)

Pour into two greased loaf pans or three greased 1 lb coffee cans.  Bake at 350 degrees about 1 hour or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.  Do not overfill your loaf pans.  Use three if you need to.
