Few More Touches Of Fall

This past week I finally started to work on our front porch's fall decorations.
I had this idea to stack some pumpkins to give some height to the display. I think they turned out pretty cute.

Later this week we are going to carve a pumpkin, so that will be added for the final touch.

I also worked on painting some pumpkins for inside.
They turned out pretty cute.

I also pulled out some recipes for some more fall baking for this week.

Josh has requested that Alyse and I make him more apple dumplings.

I also decided to make some of Holly's pumpkin bread. It is very yummy!

Here is the recipe for the pumpkin bread:
3 1/3 cup all purpose flour
3 cups sugar
2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp nutmeg
2/3 cup water
1 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs
1 (15 oz) can pumpkin

Mix everything together, add flour gradually at the end.
Pour into 3 greased 9 x5 loaf pans (or substitute 3 mini loafs for one of the large loaf pans).

Bake at 350 for 50 minutes to an hour (less time if using mini loaves).

Hint: dust the pan with cinnamon/sugar mixture after greasing to give the crust extra sweetness.


Update: Ha! I just noticed that Holly posted her recipe today too. It really is very good. Perfect fall treat.
