Rosemary and Thyme Popovers

This is another recipe that reminds me of the holiday season. My dad would usually make these for dinner parties for Thanksgiving/Christmas. Since these are best served fresh out of the oven, I always loved helping him cook (and eat) these while he had to entertain the guests. Enjoy! 


Ingredients:
1/2 stick of butter
6 eggs
2 cups milk
2 cups flour 
1 tsp. salt 
1 1/2 tsp. thyme
1 1/2 tsp. rosemary

Pumpkin Bread

To get in the holiday spirit, I decided to try out a pumpkin bread recipe. This has to be my favorite recipe! I even managed to carry a loaf onto a plane to give to my parents in Dallas TX for them to try, but it only made it as far as my sister's house in Tucson AZ. At least someone got to enjoy it! This recipe makes two loaves. 


Ingredients: 
1 15 oz can of pumpkin puree (found at local grocery store-albertsons) 
4 eggs 
1 cup cooking oil- I think I used canola oil
2/3 cup water
3 cups white sugar
3 1/2 cups flour 
2 tsp. baking soda
1 1/2 tsp. salt 
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp. ground cloves
1/4 tsp. ground ginger

Mini Pizza Puffs

A little twist to the classical pizza! Enjoy!

3/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp oregano
3/4 cup milk
1 egg, beaten
about 1 cup mozzarella cheese
about 1 cup pepperoni (works well with mini pepperoni, found at albertsons)
