Last Friday we had perfect baking weather. It was a windy 54 degrees that morning and we were all trying to stay warm(it was a shock to our Hawaiian senses!) We made some rice banana muffins for #4 who is currently trying a wheat free diet. Then we whipped up 3 huge loaves of whole wheat pumpkin bread for the rest of us. I'm going to have to divide those pumpkin loaves up next time, they were truly monsters. #2 was a huge helper in this endeavor.



Some baby sweetness to share.

Multitasking

Sometimes it isn't such a good idea! I'm still laughing about it so thought I'd share. We have some pumpkins that we had got in October that are still good. So I cooked 2 of them today and set off to make some goodies. Made some pumpkin cookies and some bread then took the kids off to bathe. Get back upstairs and start washing the dishes so we can make some more cookies(Russian teacakes this time!) I grab the bowl that the pumpkin had been in only to find pumpkin still in it-Yes I made pumpkin bread without the pumpkin, interesting concept isn't it!! #3 and I went on to make the cookies and I made another loaf of bread with pumpkin after that. I guess we'll see which bread they like better in the morning LOL
I have 3 more pumpkins to cook and bake tomorrow, I'll make sure to stay alert;
