“You’ve got to make this pumpkin bread.  I always use Libbey’s pumpkin. You gunna love it cuz it tastes great and makes such nice gifts too.”

She had me at “You gotta make this.”  Okay, Sue is in her new kitchen, she is sending me recipes, all is well again. 🙂

I did exactly what any good friend would do — went to the store, bought some pumpkin (and sugar – I was completely out) and I made pumpkin bread.

John 15:12-15 This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you. No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you.

  1. Hmmm looks great, but that’s alot alot of sugar! You did say it contains no oil or eggs, but does have 2 sticks of butter so that would make it very moist and buttery!!

    • Ah Becky, you are so right about the oil … butter! My bad. I think it is alot of sugar too, and I was thinking the next batch I may cut it by 1/3 and see if it is noticeable. But for this batch I made as the recipe said and it really is sweetly divine.
