I found this yummy recipe at tastykitchen.com. Unlike the previous two pumpkin bread recipes, this recipe only makes one loaf.

Pumpkin Bread with Streusel Topping

Ingredients

FOR THE STREUSEL:

1 cup All-purpose Flour

½ cups Firmly Packed Light Brown Sugar

1 stick Melted Butter

2 teaspoons Cinnamon

_____

FOR THE PUMPKIN BREAD:

2 whole Eggs

⅓ cups Cold Water

½ cups Oil

½ cans Pumpkin Pie Filling

1-¾ cup All-purpose Flour

1-½ cup Granulated Sugar

1 teaspoon Baking Soda

¾ teaspoons Salt

½ teaspoons Cinnamon

½ teaspoons Nutmeg

Preparation Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a 9 x 5 x 3-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.

Streusel: Combine flour, light brown sugar, melted butter and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Stir with a fork until crumbly.

Pumpkin Bread: Beat eggs, add water, oil, and pumpkin pie filling. In a separate bowl combine flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture and fold just until dry ingredients are moistened. Spoon mixture into the prepared pan and sprinkle streusel topping on top.

Bake for 1 hour or until a knife comes out clean when inserted in the middle of the bread.

Want beauty tips? There’s an app for that. I know that Blackberry and others are now offering apps and I apologize to those readers who do not have an iPhone. I assume you can find the apps on both but since I don’t have a Blackberry I can only check iTunes.

Beauty Tips App from dailyglow.com gives you more than 300 expert tips on skin care, hair care, and personal care.  Free app.

Sephora to Go is a great app to find the latest hot products, create your own shopping list of products, beauty advice, get product reviews from other customers, bar code scanner and more. You can also get a free iPhone case once you download (while supplies last).  Free app.

OPI has an app where you can pick your skin tone, and then choose any color to see how it looks on you before purchasing. Another great free app. Nicole by OPI is another similar free app.

Eveline Charles has a virtual hairstylist app where you can try on different hairstyles before making any hair mistakes at the salon.

As with all apps, the list is endless as to what you can find.  I tried to just give you a sampling of the different categories.  Do you have any beauty apps to share with me?

Williams-Sonoma – oh how I love thee. If ever I am in a bad mood, I can visit your store, and be happy when I leave. I am not the greatest cook in the world, but having fancy tools makes me feel like one. It is a great site for anyone who wants to give a gift to a cook, or for anyone who wants to be a better cook. They have top of the line cookware, bakeware, cooking tools, cutlery, and even yummy food. I will probably do another post about Christmas themed gifts they carry. However, this post is going to be a few of my personal favorites, that are all under $15.

The avocado cuber for $15

The cupcake corer for $5 – to scoop out the center of a cupcake so you can fill it with frosting

The pocket pie mold for $10

the flat whisk – great for gravy! $12

My favorite turkey seasoning for $10

Now that my fall baking has started, I am reminded of how much I love the Ove Glove. Before finding this about three years ago, I would always, ALWAYS burn my fingers. This glove fully protects your hands and saves any chance of the oven mitt slipping while you are trying to get a hot cookie sheet, or casserole out of the oven. I have the two pack and would highly recommend it because who just uses one hand when removing a pot or pan? Also a great gift because who doesn’t want or need an oven mitt? You feel absolutely no heat when taking a pan out of the oven, or a pot off the stove, or moving a grate, etc., and the silicone grip helps your hold. Five-fingered flexi-grip for left or right hand. The Ove Glove withstands extreme heat up to 540 degrees. The Ove Glove exterior layer is made of DuPont Nomex and Kevlar. Interior layer of soft double knit cotton. Best of all it is machine washable. The thermal properties are made of Nomex and Kevlar, which dramatically extends the time you can handle a hot object in your hands.
