Visiting the pumpkin patch and the corn maze was a fun fall (autumn) outing for the family. This was especially so when the boys were little. We would pack a lunch and have a picnic at the farm. The boys enjoyed the pony rides, hay rides, and petting zoo. They loved going through the pumpkin patch and selecting the roundest and most even colored pumpkins they could find. Each child was allowed to choose his own pumpkin so that mom could make a pumpkin pie and some pumpkin soup. That was then. Today, only the “older” folks think of the pumpkin patch…..sigh!

A Tried and Tested Recipe

Today’s Spiced Pumpkin Bread recipe is one I have tweaked and used many times. I usually add one third cup each of chopped walnuts and chocolate chips into the mix for a rich and dense loaf. This time, I decided to use a half cup toasted pumpkin seeds instead. It is good either way. I hope you will give this recipe a try.

Pumpkin Galore

The weather the past weekend was gorgeous and so I took the opportunity to go to the nearest “pumpkin patch” in my area. Pictured below are the different varieties of miniature ornamental pumpkins. Wee Be Little are round and smooth while the Jack Be Little have ridges.

    Going to the pumpkin patch is a great idea to bring the little ones and spend some quality time together. I’m going to have to try that when my littlest is a bit older, thanks for the wonderful idea Biren! By the way, did you get a new camera? Your pictures look clearer today. Now that K is starting school and they only allow healthy snacks, I’ll have to learn baking all these kinds of wonderful breads. This is a perfect healthy recipe for K to take to school, along with your zucchini bread too! Thank you for sharing! Oh, and those pumpkin names are too cute :-D. Hope you and your boys have a lovely weekend!

      Yes, going to the pumpkin patch is a fun family outing. I think your kids will really enjoy it. Back in Colorado the boys had a favorite farm we visited every year. We normally spend half the day there.

      No, I did get a new camera. Must be the light colors on this page giving the pictures a nice contrast. So glad to hear that they look clearer. Thanks for the feedback. Have a lovely weekend!

      I know you would just love fall, Denise – the cooler temps, the color, scents, and of course the food. A trip to the pumpkin patch or the apple orchard is a must. The colors of the maple leaves are already emerging. Perhaps one more week and they will be at their best. Fall is a great time to visit…..
