That looks great. I'm always looking for good uses for pumpkin, because we always get so much of it this time of year! Thanks!

Awesome, I am sure to try this one. Thanks so much for the recipe. That is quite the story about the pumpkin pie. My friend from Australia came for a visit a few years back in the summer, and I made pumpkin pie because she hadn't had it before. She didn't dislike it, but said she would rather eat pumpkin as a vegetable. Here pumpkin as a vegetable gets a crinkly nose reaction out of people. Funny how different places have different tastes (and I am not at all fond of Vegemite).

I'm not a fan of pumpkin pie, either, but the one in my Fun Monday post I will eat.
I am SO going to make this soon (as soon as I get the birthday cake out of the house!)
Your Thanksgiving menu looks great, want a table crasher?

I've never made a cake using pumpkin and I've just been given one so I am tempted. However, I promised my friend I would make soup so I'd better keep to that~ and it's it's less fattening!

I tasted baked pumpkin fare for the first time the other day. Starbucks were giving away samples of their pumpkin loaf and I am on a mission to find a recipe just like it - I have the pumpkin in my pantry waiting! I'll have to try this out and see if it's close

I wondered where your post about traditions was. I love pumpkin bread and pie both! I have never had pumpkin soup, must try it some day. Thanks for the recipe.

Oh, and you know what I love to put in pumpkin bread? Dates...my goodness I love dates and this bread and pumpkin cookies is the only place I ever eat them. My kids don't like dates though. More for me, I say.

This recipe looks very good. I'll have to try it. You can never get enough pumpkin--unless it's pumpkin pie. (I hate pumpkin pie!) Na and I are making the pumpkin bread now and I will get that recipe up as soon as we are done. I wanted to include pictures of making it:o)

That looks really yummy, Deborah. I've actually never made pumpkin cake, other than the roll-up style. I'll try this very soon.

If you ever decide to try pumpkin custard pie again, just use the Libby's Traditional Pumpkin Pie recipe -- it's the best (and likely what your honey ate as a boy).

I'm just getting around to visiting the Fun Mondayers now...I know, I know, but hey, better late then never right?

Anyway, I'm not a fan of pumpkin flavored anything, but you made this sound good! Sounds like a good tradition to being!

I was looking for something different to do with my pumpkins. I'm so grabbing that recipe! Thanks!

that sounds so yummy!!!

can you use canned pumpkin-- or do you have to buy a regular pumpkin and cook and puree it?

and is icing sugar the same as confectioner's sugar or 10x sugar? I've never heard it called icing sugar before.

Hey BlogBud...who is hosting
Fun Monday for November 12? I 've been out of circulation for over two weeks...
Swampy | Homepage | Mon.12.Nov.07 - 12:24 am | #

I am going to make this on Thursday, Thanksgiving Day (in the US). I will let you know how it turns out.

I have been reading your blog for a while and love it, but haven't ever tried anything.
