A little Pre Holiday Baking

I was perusing Pinterest the other night.. Ok, being honest here, almost every night and some days too! I have said it before and I will say it again. That place is addicting! But I love it!

I found this recipe to make Pumpkin Bread with Brown Butter Frosting. Can you say holy Yum!!(click the photo to open the recipe in a new window.)

I did a little substituting in the recipe, it called for pecans. I used chocolate chips. Sounds like a good substitute for nuts right? :) It is awesome. The recipe makes two loaves. I sent one to work with Jim today because there is no way we need too loaves of this crack bread in the house! I hope those guys like it! 

I am making my grocery list right now and heading out when Jim gets home to get all the goodies for Thursday. I am excited about cooking and having the family here but not too excited about the grocery shopping. And what's more, grocery shopping with Jim. I love that man, but I hate grocery shopping with him. I am a fast grocery shopper, a stick to the list grocery shopper. He is what I like to call a peruser. He likes to look down every aisle, pick up packages and look at them.. I am more of a wham bam thank you ma'am type of grocery shopper! It is not my favorite place! So, tonight will definitely be a challenge I am sure! I will undoubtedly come home with way more then what was on my list! (I hate that) 

But, I am pledging now to make the best of it! :) We shall see! 

So, are you guys getting ready for Thursday? What's your favorite recipe for the holidays! Tomorrow, I will share how we make our Green Bean Casserole. A bit different I am sure then everyone else! 

Happy Shopping everyone!

  1. Lol! I hate shopping with my husband, too, and I have gotten to like grocery stores less and less. I try to go when it isn't crowded, so that helps.

    So much cooking to do today -- and it's only the four of us for Thanksgiving! Pumpkin pie, pecan tarts, cookies. Guess I'd better get offline and get busy, huh?

    Happy Thanksgiving!
