Granny loves making cakes. Usually it's chocolate, vanilla or red velvet, but occasionally she mixes it up. This bread reminds me more of a cake and I made a few cupcakes with the extra batter. This bread (or cupcakes) would be the perfect lunch box surprise.
Fall is a busy time all around. It's a great time to enjoy family fun at the many orchards, pumpkin patches and corn mazes open for the season. Many of these destinations are also working farms. Agritourism offers a taste of farm life and a fun avenue to learn about modern agriculture.
Technology has changed so much. Our tractors aren't the same, equipment has improved, and just about everything else has benefited from the increased efficiency offered by this technology. In fact, our crops benefit too. More about that here.
Pumpkin Bread is also terrific topped with your favorite ice cream. For other dessert ideas, click here.
