I was browsing on Pinterest and I saw this picture of a loaf of fruit bread. It reminded me that I hadn't baked any for ages so I did just that. My recipe made 2 loaves and they didn't look as pretty as the one on Pinterest but it tastes just fine. Sure makes nice toast for breakfast.
This is all that is left from that first loaf I made. The picture is wonky but I dare not mess with it. I've been having "issues" with my computer lately :(
I used some of the last of my bag of pears to make these muffins.
The next door neighbour's Red Maple ( I think that's what it is) dropped almost all its leaves overnight and left this beautiful red carpet.
And that's about it for today. Thank you for the sweet comments on my Bunny in my last post. She has a nice 2 room hutch that DH made for her and it stands in a very sheltered spot out of the wind and rain. She grows a thick winter coat and has made it through 7 winters so far. Son and DIL have a bunny in a cage in their livingroom and it is allowed out supervised. That works for them but neither DH nor I wanted to have ours in the house. GM
That spread of maple leaves is quite brilliant!
ReplyDeleteYou reminded me that I want to make some kind of quick bread with fruit in it. And then toast it - yum.

I'd like a piece of your delicious looking fruit bread. Yum. Isn't that carpet of red leaves beautiful. Love that bunny too.
ReplyDeleteBaking is a wonderful thing. Stir in the dough and then the wonderful smell when the dough is in the oven... and the first piece :-)))
ReplyDeleteI like both your fruit bread and your pear muffins.
The maple leaf rug is great.
Kind regards to you.
Dont those leaves look amazing!
ReplyDeletePeople joke about fruitcake, but I love it. Yours looks good! I suppose it is more of a bread than a cake.
ReplyDeleteA slice of your bread sure would be good with my coffee this morning!! Someone has a lot of raking to do, but the red leaves are pretty on the ground. Yes, I am very grateful for all the blessings and provisions God has showered on Mr D and I. Hope your day is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThat red carpet of leaves is so, so beautiful. Your slices of loaf is appealing.
ReplyDeleteI did buy that book in Kindle format...Always Pack a Candle. I may be slow reading it, but it is going to be very, very good! Thank you for showing it. I would probably never have run across it otherwise.
Wow those leaves are so pretty. You have been busy baking! Do you use the browser Chrome with your computer? It may solve some of your problems with blogger. Just a thought!
ReplyDeleteThat bread sure looks good. I've never heard of fruit bread before, just fruit cake. I wonder if that tree is a Japanese Maple. They have the most beautiful red leaves. I think your bunny is so cute.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

I love fruit loaves and pear muffin sounds a good idea. The red leaves carpet is beautiful.
ReplyDelete( to reassure you all the family had covid even the children not only my daughter)
The fruit loaf sounds delicious, same with the pear muffins. I have never had a pear muffin, but I love pears. The red maple leaves are very pretty. I was looking for an email to reply to your sweet comments on my blog but can't find it. Would you mind sending it to me? Thank you!

What a vibrantly beautiful carpet of leaves! Your fruit loaf (the real one) and pear muffins look delicious and remind me that I haven't had my breakfast yet :)
ReplyDeleteblogger is having tons of picture issues, it may not be your computer :( ... I bet that sea of red leaves is so stunning in person! I love that you bake all the time! so delicious and warming!
ReplyDeleteMy first thought when I saw that loaf of bread was delicious for toast and it sounds like it was.
ReplyDeleteAs much as I hate to see the trees lose their leaves, that is a beautiful red carpet.
We had our rabbit in the house for awhile until I got tired of the mess of the little droppings escaping the cage. It was relocated to a cozy spot under the steps in the garage where it was very happy for several more years.
Your fruit bread looks delicious! You make baking look so easy, and I struggle with all of it. Can't even make a decent batch of cookies. The carpet of red maple leaves is simply amazing. So pretty!
ReplyDeleteThe carpet of leaves is so pretty.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to have a piece of your bread.
The bread sound so good. There is a house near the thrift store I go that just dropped their leaves like that beautiful.

Fruitbread is a wonderful thing! I LOVE it! I'm sure, it was delicious! Oh the red leaves!!!!! A MIRACLE! What a waste of red color :))
ReplyDeleteI say your bunny has the best place and home with LOVE and the right feeling!
Best wishes for you all from Dori from the Bavarian Forest
I bet your house smelled amazing baking those goodies. I love the fall and to bake now is so filled with joy. That Maple tree carpet is so pretty,( eye candy) if you lived by me, these knuckleheads would be out with their noisy blowers taking them away, these are the same ones who fertilize everything so no weeds exist... somebody could tell them if they would listen, that the leaves compost and make great fertilize. It is by God's design. (no chemical needed). Doesn't the fall have a nice smell, the leaves & the earth, very comforting.
ReplyDeleteThe leaf rug looks very nice When they are dry you can make compost to use as food for the soil in your garden. I'd like to try that bread!
ReplyDeleteThat bread looks great. I should get back to baking but just not feeling the urge. Maybe soon.
