I hope you enjoy these recipes as much as I do. The best way to cook, I think, is to take an idea and make it your own and that's kind of what I do with the recipes I've brought here. Some are healthy and some are definitely not, but hopefully they will inspire you to spend more time in your kitchen.

Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Loaf


What you need:
  • 2 cups flour (I used King Arthur's White Whole Wheat flour)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 stick butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 can (15oz) pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (can substitute in white for this if you are out of brown)
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup miniature chocolate chips + handful for on top of loaf

What you do:

Whisk together all dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, spices) in a large bowl. In a medium size bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree and sugar and then add in the remaining ingredients (eggs, butter, and vanilla). Pour wet into dry and fold together until combined. Fold in chocolate chips. Pour into greased loaf pan, sprinkle a handful of chips on top and bake at 350 for about 55 minutes or until toothpick comes clean.
