Pumpkin Honey Beer Bread

October 31, 2013 /

 Happy Halloween!!!

What are you being for Halloween? I have a party that I am going to on Saturday, and I will make sure to post some pictures on Instagram for you all to see. 🙂 Lots of things have been happening this month.DSC_0076

October is my favorite month, always has been. But this October 2013 has run me ragged!

I was so lucky to have one of my maids of honor come this past weekend to spend some time with me and visit the wedding venue to discuss what our next moves needed to be. I even tried on some wedding dresses! AHHH! Went for something completely on the opposite spectrum of what I thought I would, but hey…if I feel good in it? Who cares!

This month is coming to a close and I can honestly say it has been my favorite month so far this year. I can’t say exactly why I feel that way, I just do. It has been exciting and full of seeing people that I haven’t for some time now.

All in all I cannot complain with this month. Plus, this marks 1 year until Patrick and I get married! WOOO! Excited and nervous….more anxious I think. Just all over excited and looking forward to the new things ahead.

Anyways, in honor of October, Halloween & Fall… I made pumpkin bread.

Not just any ordinary pumpkin bread. This bread is actually good for you and you don’t have to feel guilty about having four a pieces… 😉

This was something I found and I wanted to change up a bit to see what I could do with it. It was my first experiment with quinoa flour. Most of you know I love quinoa.

So naturally using quinoa flour shouldn’t be a shock. I was impressed with it. I stuck with having whole wheat flour with it as well, just to see how it reacted. I will definitely be trying  it again.

Although, while the bread was baking it smelled like quinoa in the house… What the heck is QUI-NO <—-have you seen this commercial?? So effin funny.

Anyways, so here is my pumpkin bread! I sprinkled it with a little cinnamon and sugar before it went in the oven and then had a little bit of honey while it was served warm. You won’t regret that. Believe me.

Make sure and post all your costumes on Facebook, Twitter & Instagram so I can see them! I love seeing creative outfits 🙂

  8. Remove from oven and let rest in pans for 10 mins. Remove from pans and let cool on wire rack completely.
