Pumpkin Recipes

Holloway's Pumpkin Bread
My mom got this recipe from our next door neighbor when I was a kid, and has been making it as long as I can remember. When I made it Adrian insisted I reduce the oil content, and if you don't reduce it too much, and substitute applesauce (or more pumpkin) for what you do eliminate, then it's still pretty good.

Dry Ingredients:
3c flour
2t baking soda
1 1/2t salt
1t nutmeg
1t cinnamon

Wet Ingredients:
4 eggs
1c oil
3c sugar
1c pumpkin cooked & mashed

Combine and sift dry ingredients. Beat wet ingredients well. Add dry ingredients alternately with 2/3c water, into pumpkin mixture; blend. Bake 350° 1 hour. Pour into 3 greased 1 coffee tins or 3 loaf pans.

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

1c white sugar
1/2c vegetable oil
1 egg
2c all-purpose flour
2t baking powder
2t ground cinnamon
1/2t salt
1t baking soda
1t milk
1T vanilla extract
2c semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 chopped walnuts

Combine pumpkin, sugar, oil, and egg. In a separate bowl, stir together flour, baking powder,
