Easy pumpkin bread recipe (SO good!)

Well other than a few days this week we have been in full fall mode here. It got up to around 80 yesterday but after today I think we're finally home free! Back to beautiful weather in the 60's and 70's -- my favorite. :)

Because I'm fully in the fall spirit, I was on the search for a good pumpkin bread recipe a few weeks ago. I found this super easy one online and of course had to share it with you. You know if I'm sharing a recipe it's SUPER yummy and REALLY easy. 

I made some slight adjustments -- I added apple pie spice and I didn't include walnuts. I think this would be SO good with raisins though, so I added those as an option.

Here's the recipe (grouped by how you mix them): 

1 1/2 c flour
1 tsp salt
1 c sugar
1 tsp baking soda

1 c pumpkin puree
1/2 c olive oil (canola or vegetable also works)
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 c water
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp allspice

Optional: 
1/2 tsp apple pie spice
1/2 c walnuts
1/2 c raisins

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 

2. You will need two bowls for this recipe. Sift the first four ingredients together in one bowl. 

3. In separate bowl combine the pumpkin, olive oil, eggs, water, spices and walnuts or raisins if desired. Do not mix too much. Mine ends up not quite as thick as oatmeal: 

4. Pour into sprayed 9x5x3 loaf pan and bake 50 to 60 minutes. Or make muffins -- the mix makes 12 and they are perfect out of the oven at 25 minutes. You'll know they are done when you put a toothpick in to the bread/muffin and it comes out clean. 

I found this muffin tin a few weeks ago and it's perfect for this pumpkin bread!: 

I also found it online here -- it bakes them perfectly! 

I use an ice cream scoop to fill my tin so the batter doesn't get everywhere: 


Don't fill them all the way to the top and give the pan a few taps on the counter to get air bubbles out -- I forgot to do that this time! 

I'm telling you what...these come out SO good. They are moist and fluffy and just scrumptious: 

They take no time at all, especially if you're making the muffin version -- I've already whipped up two batches in the past week. If you like pumpkin even a little bit you will love this recipe. It's not an overwhelming pumpkin taste...just enough. And your house will smell like fall all day when you bake them. :) 

Here's an image you can pin for later if you'd like to make these as well!:

DIY stacked stone fireplace (where there was none!)

Well hello! I have a BIG reveal for you today! I worked so hard on this basement fireplace and I'm so so SO thrilled it's done. I'm excited to share it with you today! I took a ridiculous amount of photos so bear with me. :)  I'll show you where we started first! We have this little bump out in our basement and from day one we knew what we wanted to do with it. When we finished the basement years ago we went ahead and bought an electric fireplace for that spot. It sat on a bench for four years. 😁 A few months ago we decided to have the fireplace built in since the whole space was torn up for the new floors anyway:  Then I was craving a little more traditional look so we had the hearth added along with a mantel:  Then it was time for me to do the rest! I knew I needed to stain the mantel and hearth before I tiled -- it would have gotten all over the tile otherwise. I sanded both down and then cleaned them really well. A wet paper towel does fine:  I ALWAYS use a pre...

The bright and light mudroom makeover is complete!

As many of you know, it can take me eons to finish up a room makeover. It's usually because of two things -- we pay cash for everything so I only make updates as the budget allows. And since I try to do most of it myself, it just takes longer than it would if I hired out. I don't mind this usually because I think I make better decisions when I take my time.  I'll take even longer if it's a room we don't use often (like our guest room) or one that we use mostly (and guests don't see) so I'm not as concerned about it getting finished up quickly. I've been working on our mudroom for more than three years now -- well, even longer than that if you consider all of our changes -- but I've been making updates for a few years to get it the way I want it.  And it's FINALLY DONE. Whoot! You may have seen the most dramatic changes I shared last fall, but I wasn't calling it done till we got the storage shelf built and finished up. Now it's finished...

AFTER the Konmari Purge (I'm DONE)

It's done! I've officially Konmari'd the crap  out of our house. This is a very, very good day and a long time coming -- I'm so happy to be done!  It took NINE MONTHS. I did finish a kitchen renovation in that time, but still, nine months . I started reading the book The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up last August:   I talked about how it started to change my mindset  here -- this book has totally changed my life. I thought I was good at letting go of things, but after reading this I realized I really wasn't good at all.  I still had this inexplicable thing holding me back from truly getting rid of all the crap. My mindset before was...I bought it to redo it, I bought it on sale, I spent a lot of money on it, someone gave it to me, someday when I finish ____ this item will be good there, it needs to be fixed and then we can use it, someday this might be back in style, I made this myself, if I can find the cord that charges it I'll be able to use it, it may ...
