Make pumpkin bread!

And pumpkin biscuits.

Yes, I had leftover pumpkin after completing my Thanksgiving dessert, bourbon pumpkin cheesecake. So flipping through recipe books I decided upon these two oldies but goodies. Other runner ups for leftover pumpkin recipes includes pumpkin pancakes (I would have had to make that one up as I went along, since I don’t have a recipe) and cream of pumpkin soup (we actually had cream, but no chicken stock on hand and my goal was to use ingredients in the house).

The pumpkin bread recipe is your typical quick bread type, this particular one courtesy of our Better Homes Cookbook (the big red one). The pumpkin biscuits is a fantastic recipe (includes the directions for orange-honey butter, which I didn’t bother with), courtesy of Cooking Light magazine (November 2003).

BTW, I’m surprised to find Cooking Light’s recipes no longer behind a subscription wall. I stopped going to their Web site after I cancelled my magazine subscription (at some point I just stopped cooking as much and subscribing to a cooking magazine seemed a bit much). Anyway, it seems their business model has changed. Check for yourself.
