This time of year, nothing smells better than hot apple cider or warm pumpkin bread. I came across this recipe for pumpkin bread and boy, is it yummy! I just had to share it.

Difficulty: Easy
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
Yield: 1 loaf or 1 1/2 dozen small muffins

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups sugar
3/4 cup vegetable oil
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups shredded fresh pumpkin
1 cup toasted pumpkin seeds

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Sift the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together.

In a separate bowl, mix the sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla. Combine both mixtures and fold in the shredded pumpkin and pumpkin seeds. Once the ingredients are all incorporated pour into a non- stick 9 by 5 by 3-inch loaf pan. If your pan is not non- stick coat it with butter and flour.

Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes. At this point a knife inserted into the middle of the loaf should come out clean. Cool for 15 minutes and turn out onto a cooling rack. Cool completely. For muffins temperature should also be 325 degrees F., but bake for 30 minutes.

Enjoy!

The air is getting cooler, leaves are beginning to turn colors and Autumn is slowly arriving. There's no shortage of things to do from now until the end of the year, but if you find yourself looking for some creative outlets, festivals, recipes and other entertaining Autumn activities, then this letter may inspire you.

Thrasher Opera House is proud to announce the revival of their original film series. In 1910, Thrasher's Opera House was built on Mill Street in downtown Green Lake by Charlie Thrasher. It first hosted vaudeville and traveling theatrical companies, but is best remembered for the movies that Charlie showed as soon as electricity became available.

On October 2, 2004 Thrasher Opera House will preview films similar to those that kicked off their success. Heidel House Resort and Two Chez restaurant have donated time and culinary skills for the evening. Tickets are $45 per person. Click the picture above for a full schedule.
