Happiness is a Choice …and so is gluten free Pumpkin Bread…

Sunday morning with the kids. They aren’t with me every weekend. As with so many families, they go to their Dad’s some weekends. But the weekends I have them, I really relish… And the ones I don’t… I usually take call! Might as well! My middle child loves waffles and the little one loves any sweet bread and the oldest… Well chocolate…  

all my little pumpkins

 For some reason I just woke up hungry! At 6! Well I lounged around my room for an hour and a half and finally decided to get up and make something delicious. 

I whipped up some yummy pumpkin waffles (see prior posts) but decided with the other half of the pumpkin to make pumpkin bread! My Favorite!! And while it cooks, I’m going to clean my dirty house… Well me and my scooba (by the way- I love this one… I’ve had them all.. But this one rocks!!)

2T sugar

1t cinnamon

Dask pumpkin pie spice

Then mix the wet ingredients together before adding to dry

1/2c water

Hey! You wanna piece of ….. My yummy gluten free coffee cakes? You & your family are going to enjoy these!

When I was first diagnosed with celiac, it was late October a few years back, and one of the first things that crossed my mind was my families tradition of Christmas morning Irish Sour Cream Coffee Cake. Well NO PROB here! It took a few tries, but now I make a gluten free version with great texture, taste and consistency… Such that you can serve this to anyone and they will not know its gluten free! Plus, you can change around the toppings depending on who you are cooking for! Another favorite of mine is pumpkin coffee cake. Today I’m making pumpkin loaf modified from the Pamela’s pancake mix recipe www.pamelasproducts.com . Pumpkin bread is great, because it’s delicious and its a great way to get some extra vitamins and nutrition into your body and those of you kids.
