Happy Fall, Ya'll!!

Fall is finally here! Well, I guess "Autumn" is the proper word, but I ain't proper! ; ) I just love Fall, and nothing says fall to me like pumpkins. Love em! So today I decided that it was time to make some Pumpkin Bread. Yum!!! The smell as it bakes is just as yummy as it tastes, too.



 Pumpkin Bread

 1 (15 oz) can pumpkin
1 cup vegetable oil
2/3 cup water
4 large eggs
3 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
3 cups sugar
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
2 cups walnuts

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 2 (8x5-inch) loaf pans. In a medium bowl, beat pumpkin, oil, water and eggs at medium speed with an electric mixer until smooth.

In a seperate medium bowl, sift together flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. Gradually add to pumpkin mixture, mixing to combine. Stir in walnuts.

Pour into pans, bake for approximately 1 hour. Let cool in pans 10 minutes. Remove from pans and enjoy the bread while it's still warm!
