We are so excited to be joining our host Kristen, from Ella Claire and so many of our other favorite bloggers as part of a Farmhouse Holiday Series this year. We hope that you will enjoy over the next couple of months as we share glimpses into our homes throughout the fall and the holiday season. We are starting this fun series off with our favorite fall recipe and some photos of our kitchen.
Although I have quite a few fall recipes that I love, my absolute favorite is my mom’s pumpkin bread! I loved every fall growing up when it would start to get cool and she’d make it for us. We would pretty much devour it – haha! Lillie and Lola love helping me make it now and the last couple of years have enjoyed making it for some of our neighbors too!
PUMPKIN BREAD
*Major Leonard Keep*
4 eggs
3 cups sugar
1 cup oil
2 cups pumpkin (we use 1 15oz can although it’s a little less than 2 cups)
3+1/3 cups flour
2 tsp. baking soda
1+1/2 tsp. salt
*1 tsp. cinnamon (I use 3 tsps.)
1 tsp. nutmeg
2/3 cup water
Beat eggs until light. Add sugar, oil, and pumpkin. Beat well. Add sifted dry ingredients with water to egg mixture. Bake in 4 small loaf pans at 350 degrees for 45-50 minutes; or two regular sized loaf pans for 60-70 minutes.
And here they are all cooked and ready to be eaten. Which they were just a few minutes after I took these photos.

I'm looking forward to trying this recipe. We used to love stopping to eat at The Major Leonard Keep restaurant on Route 12! My husband grew up in Bellows Falls.
Jenni, everything is beautiful! I love this mini loaf pans and your kitchen is so warm and inviting. That bread looks delicious too!
Sorry for the queston, but I´m not from thu USA. What does "two cups of pumpkin" mean? Do you mean the puree from boiled/baked pumpkin? Thanks for the answer.
Yes, that's correct!

Beautiful home! Nice fall inspiration! Great giveaway- Thank You!
Absolutely beautiful home. Adore your dining room chandelier.
Your home is beautiful. I love how you added simple items to create a welcoming home. Thank you for the tour and sharing the pumpkin recipe.
Those little baking dishes are darling! And I love the difference a few branches, apples, and pumpkins can make! So pretty!
Where did you get those cute wooden measuring spoons? I didn't see them in your source list.
Hi! You can find them here: https://www.poldersoldworldmarket.com/

Hi Dear Lillie, I loved pretty much this pumpkin bread recipe. There is nothing better than eating done-by-yourself bread at home, so I'm definitely giving this recipe a try. Thanks for sharing!
