I just stole this off one of my brother's FB walls
He used to be a baker when he lived in Michigan We come from a family that owned bakeries when we were kids So, I'm not sure where his recipe came from Pumpkin Bread Recipe Cream Cheese Filling: 8 ounce package (227 grams) cream cheese, room temperature 1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated white sugar 2 large eggs 1 1/2 tablespoons all purpose flour Pumpkin Bread: 1 cup (110 grams) pecans or walnuts 3 1/2 cups (450 grams) all purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 3/4 teaspoon salt 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 4 large eggs 2 cups (400 grams) granulated white sugar 1 cup (226 grams) unsalted butter, melted and cooled 1 - 15 ounce (425 grams) can pure pumpkin 1/2 cup (120 ml) water 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C) and place rack in the center of the oven. Butter and lightly flour two - 9 x 5 x 3 inch (23 x 13 x 8 cm) loaf pans. To toast nuts: Place the nuts on a baking sheet and bake for about 8 - 10 minutes or until brown and fragrant. Cool completely and then chop coarsely. Cream Cheese Filling: In your food processor, process the cream cheese until smooth. Add the sugar and process just until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs, one at a time, processing just until incorporated. Do not over process. Stir in the flour. Pumpkin Bread: In a large bowl, sift or whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. In another large bowl, whisk the eggs until lightly beaten. Add the sugar and melted butter and whisk until blended. Whisk or stir in the pumpkin, water, vanilla extract, and nuts. Add the flour mixture to the pumpkin mixture and stir just until the ingredients are combined. (A few streaks of flour is fine.) Do not over mix as it will make the bread tough. Divide the batter in half. Take one half and divide it evenly between the two prepared pans. Divide the cream cheese filling in half and place each half of filling on top the two pans of batter, smoothing the tops. Top with the remaining half of batter (use two spoons to place small dollops of batter on top of the filling). Bake the breads for about 55 - 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. Place pans on a wire rack and let cool for about 10 minutes before removing breads from pans. Can serve warm, cold, or at room temperature. Store leftovers in the refrigerator or else freeze for later use. Makes 2 loaves. |
So far as I know the menu this year is something like this....
Turkey Ham Mashed taters Deviled eggs Slaw Dressing Sweet peas Green beans Corn Mac & Cheese Chocolate something Blueberry pie and Lord only knows what all else Thanksgiving will be at my nieces new house this year. What we will be missing is Nannie, she always made homemade noodles and the best green beans on earth. Nobody has been able to duplicate either of these. |

It's just me this year and the smallest turkey I can find around these parts (including just a turkey breast) is 12 lbs. So, I have no idea what I am going to do, not buying the turkey until Tuesday, if that is what I choose, because I want a fresh one. I may just make a roast chicken. :shocking:
But I will have... homemade stuffing corn gravy homemade rolls cheesecake |
What are you making for Thanksgiving?? I'm lucky - I'm not hosting, so I only have to make pies :) I'm making 2 pumpkin and 1 banana cream :) yummmm

My blood family's get together is going to be great this year because I only have to come up with a veggie casserole!
We are, however, having a few of our chosen family over for Thanksgiving weekend and the menu is going to be huge. At least in my opinion! LOL Here is what we're having: Turkey Two different kinds of dressing Mashed potatoes and gravy Candied sweet potatoes Macaroni and cheese Green beans Deviled eggs Pajamas homemade rolls Cranberry sauce, of course Pumpkin pie Fudge Egg custard pie Pineapple upside down cake An array of cookies And finally, chips and dip, salsa, and other condiments for snack time. |
We usually spend Thanksgiving at my brother and sister-in-law's house, with a huge crowd of family....but this year we're spending it at home, just the four of us. I have to confess, as much as I enjoy seeing the family, and the crowd and the noise that the holiday usually brings...I'm very much looking forward to having a quiet dinner at home this year. The menu has been scaled down accordingly:
Turkey Gravy Stuffing Sweet potato cassarole Mashed potatoes Brussel sprouts Nantucket pie Reverse caramel apples |
We are eating out with Pete's mom and close friend on Thursday, and
We are cooking a scaled down meal on Saturday. We are only making the foods we want, Turkey, cornbread stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, gravy, and green salad. I was relatively frugal and I still spent about $50. Pete ordered a fresh turkey, and I don't know how much it is, but I will guess the conversation went like this, My old lady wants the smallest turkey you've got. |
We are making two turkey and a honey spiral ham, mash taters, scalloped taters, sweet tater casserole. Orange cranberry sauce, greenbeans, lots of pie and cake,
