Pumpkin Bread with Salted Pepitas

It is officially fall!

Autumn?

Whatever – it is time for boots and sweaters and tights and scarves and boots! It is time for warming, comfort foods, it is time for all things pumpkin.

But… I sorta have pumpkin year round, and am not really a fan of pumpkin in my coffee.
*ducks head*

I suppose what I am saying is that I never really go overboard with the pumpkin.

But. I did make you a loaf of pumpkin bread. Actually, two. Perfectly sweet, with a salty seeded topping. That’s the kicker for me – I have always loved pumpkin bread, and now I will think all pumpkin breads need the salty addition.

It is good.

Perfect Road Trip Food

Honeymoon update! This week, our road trip finds us in the Black Hills and the Badlands. Yesterday we saw Devil’s Tower in the morning and Mt Rushmore later in the afternoon- both incredibly spectacular and we had a perfect day to walk around.

Rushmore was a first for both of us, we were like two giggly kids in awe of this greatness – we have some fun “fifth face” photos I will share later. We even met a carver – Nick Clifford happened to be there, we talked with him (and his lovely wife!) and he signed a book for me.

We are driving through some gorgeous country, and enjoying every minute. I brought these loaves with us, and they are already gone.

    The ingredient mention 2 TBSP, but instructions only mention using 1. Which measurement should I use?

    When do I add the flax/water gel? It is missing from the recipe.

    This looks delicious. Thank you.
