CHOCOLATE CHIP PUMPKIN BREAD OR FINDING RECIPES IN ALL THE STRANGE PLACES 6 OCTOBER 2023
We are constantly receiving mail & texts, of offers to buy our house. AS IF! We usually just ignore these offers. However, THIS realtor knew how to get MY attention . . . Now, I have plenty of pumpkin bread recipes to which I could just add a cup of chocolate chips, but I'm always willing to try a new recipe for an old favorite. Mixing station . . . I have no idea what grapeseed oil is, nor where I would even get it, but I figured canola oil would work just as well. Dry ingredients whisked together . . . I didn't have any mace (again, whatever that is), so I used the pumpkin pie spice that I add to our coffee every morning. Mixing dry ingredients into wet ingredients . . . . . . fold in the chocolate chips and pour into loaf pan . . . Ready to go into the oven . . . The white along the edge is PAM™ coming up. As I still have no depth perception, I put up the barrier to keep the dog[s] out . . . . . . so ever-loyal Miss Emmie waited until I was working at the table to come around the other side of the kitchen. Here I am, Mom, in case you drop something! Out of the oven . . . . . . and out of the pan . . . The house and the patio smell wonderful. As I was typing out the recipe, I realized I'd forgotten the salt. And the chocolate chips we had were DARK chocolate, not semi-sweet. Didn't matter; we had some tonight with unsalted butter, and then I had another slice!
