Pumpkin Days

So, I’ve been a bit of a bad blogger lately. Part of the reason might be because I have procured a few other writing gigs, but it’s mostly due to my weird schedule. On my busy days, I am REEEEALLY busy, and conversely, on my lazy days (which there aren’t very many of) I am REEEEALLY lazy. Hey, it’s yin and yang.

Anywho, I was feeling under the weather today, and after being in bed for most of the day and exhausting my internet and TV options, I decided that I needed to bake a treat to use up the extra pumpkin I bought for pumpkin cupcakes. Then I spent about 20 minutes looking for the right recipe for whatever it even was I was going to make. If I am not baking for a party or gathering, my concoction HAS to be remotely healthy because I will devour it in an unreasonably short amount of time (not the most yogic trait, but baked good-willpower is not a virtue I was born with). I also had to find a recipe that only involved ingredients I have in my pantry, as I did not want to change out of my polka dot pajama pants and fiance’s plaid shirt (hot, right?) to walk alllllll the way downstairs to buy anything else.

Long story short, I settled on this recipe for pumpkin bread, and OH-EM-GEE! It is delicious! To make it lower in fat and calories, I subbed eggbeaters for eggs and unsweetened applesauce for oil. A teeny pat of butter and a little bit of maple syrup on top, and you’ve got a winner.
