Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Loaf

Though pumpkin desserts are not my personal favorite, I still like baking them for friends and family. This is a very easy and forgiving recipe. You can leave out the chocolate chips, or add in some chopped nuts. Baking times will vary based on your loaf pan shape. I use a traditional loaf pan as well as one that is longer and less wide, which needed less time in the oven.

Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread

In case you did not know, pumpkin and I typically only get along on a savory basis. Sweet pumpkin and pumpkin dessert usually is not my favorite thing. This year my mom baked this pumpkin bread and I was very pleasantly surprised. I actually went back for seconds on a pumpkin desert, which is pretty much unheard of. This bread is very easy to make. It can also be frozen for a month or 2 if you don't want to use both loaves at once.

Pumpkin Praline Trifle

As some of you know, I hate pumpkin desserts. This being the time of year for all things pumpkin, I thought I should add some sort of festive dessert. While talking to my sister today, she told me she made a pumpkin trifle and I asked her to send me some pictures so I could add it to my blog. My sister loves all pumpkin desserts and she is the one who makes sure there are pumpkin pies at our Thanksgiving dinner table. I know I can trust her opinion when it comes to food, so I was really excited to find out that I could steal her pictures and recipe for this posting.

As delicious as this trifle may be, I will probably never make, or even try it. I know, it goes against my food motto of trying everything once, but there's something about sweetened pumpkin that makes my stomach flip. My sister said she loves this recipe and has made it a few times. One of her good friends also  makes this recipe during this time of the year. She described it as tasting like a pumpkin mousse tiramisu. It's a beautiful dessert that would look impressive at any dessert table. I also love the autumn colors of this trifle. If you're a fan of pumpkin sweets, give this trifle a try. I wish I like these types of desserts since it looks amazing, so hopefully someone who appreciates pumpkin flavors more than me will be able to enjoy this.
