Pumpkin Cornbread

Just had to share you a recipe I tried last night for pumpkin cornbread. Maybe it sounds a bit odd, but let me tell you it is delish!! We had it with a big pot of Chicken Tortilla Soup and it was a wonderful dinner.
Pumpkin Cornbread
Pumpkin Cornbread 3

Ingredients:

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup cornmeal
2 large eggs
1 cup unsweetened pumpkin puree (canned or freshly cooked and processed)
2/3 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup canola oil
1 Tablespoon molasses

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Grease 10-inch glass pie pan or 9-inch square baking pan.
2. Sift flours, baking powder, salt and spices into a large mixing bowl. Whisk in cornmeal.
3. In separate bowl, beat eggs lightly. Whisk in pumpkin, brown sugar, oil and molasses.
4. Make a well in the dry mixture. Add pumpkin mixture and blend batter with a few quick strokes (just until blended- don't over-mix).
5. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for 30 minutes, or until cornbread is browned and the surface has a slightly springy feel.
Found this recipe on a blog called Recipe Girl  She uses Bob's Red Mill Coarse corn meal  I just used regular corn meal and it was delicious. We topped it with honey and butter YUM!!
Bake it in this beautiful server for a festive fall look

Jewelry!!

Last night I launched the new Sara Blaine Jewelry Division of my Willow House business, by having an open house
Ladies had fun trying on the pieces and browsing through the catalog, all while sipping on wine and sampling cheeses and chocolates. It was a great evening and this jewelry is amazing. It is a line of designer not costume jewelry and filled with amazing detail.
