Extra Fancy Pumpkin Bread
Extra Fancy Pumpkin Bread
It’s that time of year again! Time to make pumpkin bread. Extra Fancy Pumpkin Bread will definitely become your go to pumpkin bread recipe. It’s fantastic:) Fall is also that time of year to dig out your favorite apple recipes, squash recipes and of course, pumpkin recipes. I’ve seen the infamous “pumpkin spice” flavor popping up everywhere once again. I have to admit, I’m over it. The pumpkin spice flavor thingy, I mean. I love anything pumpkin and I love pumpkin spice but to a point. C’mon now, enough is enough already. As my son would say, “Mom, tell us how you really feel!”
And then I saw a can of pumpkin spice Spam. At first I thought it was a joke! Then I realized, nope, this was no joke! It’s the real deal. Like I said, enough is enough already.
Advertising
Let me make it perfectly clear here, I don’t have anything against Spam, to all of you Spam lovers out there, my hubby being one of them. Nor do I have anything against the makers of Spam but I can’t imagine this stuff tastes good. From a advertising standpoint, I’ll say one thing, it’s genius on the part of the makers of Spam. Let’s face it, everyone is talking about it and out of curiosity people are going to buy a can, just to find out what it tastes like. Alrighty then enough about that, let’s move on to the recipe at hand, shall we:)
But first, let me take a big bite of my pumpkin spice waffles topped with pumpkin spice syrup. Then I’ll take a sip of my pumpkin spice coffee with pumpkin spice creamer;) Ahh, I do love 💕 this time of year:)
