When the temperature drops there is just something that makes me crave a warm baked good. Usually it’s chocolate based but this time I had a craving for cinnamon. What’s a warmer spice than cinnamon? I think just about nothing.
So what happens when we get a snowy, cold night? I get a craving for cinnamon bread is what happens. I decided to put my oven to work so that fresh and delicious cinnamon bread was ready for me to devour in the morning. And that is exactly what happened.
I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas! I know I did. I even got to experience my first white Christmas, which I was incredibly excited about. The snow was falling. And the drinks were flowing with family, which always makes for a great time. Not to mention all the food.
In honor of Christmas I made this gingerbread loaf this past week. (It’s been a crazy busy week so I’m only now getting around to posting it!). It’s still the season for winter favors and this gingerbread loaf fits right in.
Tis the season for pumpkin! It’s everywhere these days. In your latte, cereal, ravioli, and bagels. You can’t escape the great pumpkin! And why would you want to? It is delicious, although I do think it may be getting a little out of hand (i.e. pumpkin spice wine). Still I love to cook and bake with pumpkin. My mom sent me this recipe that she has been making for a long, long time. It is simple and scrumptious. The batter is extra good so you’re gonna wanna lick the spatula.
And the beaters…
