Pumpkin Bread

I know we are pretty much past the time of making "pumpkin" items, but this bread was served at Macie's Thanksgiving Feast at preschool and I snuck back several times for just one more slice.

Pumpkin Bread

1 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
2/3 cup milk
1 can (16 oz or 2 cups) pumpkin
3 1/2 cups all purpose flour
3 cups sugar
2 tsps baking powder
1 1/2 tsps salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp ground cloves
1 tsp allspice
1/2 cup raisins and/or chopped nuts (optional)

Combine oil, eggs, milk, and pumpkin. Stir until blended.
Sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and spices.
Make a well in the center of the dry mix & add pumpkin mix. Stir until well blended.
Add raisins or nuts if desired.
Pour into 2 greased loaf pans and bake at 325 for 1 hour and 15 minutes.

Glaze: 1/2 cup powdered sugar 1 Tbsp milk (add more to thin as necessary) Whisk together, set aside.

Elephant Monkey Choco-Delight Shake

Click on the picture to see a perfectly readable recipe with a bonus Pink Cloud shake recipe!!  Do you have vanilla ice cream but no chocolate?  Improvise by adding Nesquik powder or any chocolate syrup. This came out of an old Better Homes and Garden magazine my mom bought from the library and I just scanned the page .  I wanted to share it because I thought it was cute--maybe from the 90's?   We've had this shake a lot and even put it in H Kindergarten Cookbook.
