That's why I always appreciate those free samples of spices that Penzey's always throws in my order. Fun to try something new when it doesn't cost me anything.Mindy Obenhaushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15049730175697756032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-83741832214205043812016-11-09T16:55:21.351-05:002016-11-09T16:55:21.351-05:00I thought it was the kids who mixed the pepper and...I thought it was the kids who mixed the pepper and the ginger, Ruthy. Either way, happy accident. <br /><br />I do love spices, though. Especially this time of year.

I love nutmeg with custard-based things. And I like the hint of cloves in pumpkin, but not much else except spice cookies!!!<br /><br />But then I mixed pepper with ginger on accident, so I use that peppered ginger on meats and in cookies, and it's amazing.<br /><br />I'm a big fan of having fun with spices!!!Ruth Logan Hernehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11550734775151341968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-88613659994356158272016-11-08T16:41:23.974-05:002016-11-08T16:41:23.974-05:00I am in love with all things pumpkin and apple.

Since I didn't keep them in their original containers, I put a label on each with the expiration date.<br /><br />If you like pumpkin, Missy, you will love this cake. I already want to make it again. I'm afraid I'll eat it all myself, though.Mindy Obenhaushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15049730175697756032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-67433869239556708172016-11-08T15:33:08.185-05:002016-11-08T15:33:08.185-05:00Yum!!

I just pinned the mix on Pinterest to have it on hand.<br /><br />Do y'all buy new spices every so often? When I moved I threw away a lot of really old spices I knew I'd had for ages. I probably need a system. Maybe I'll write a date on every jar.Missy Tippenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05480008023330542958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-9720459784048411522016-11-08T10:44:50.926-05:002016-11-08T10:44:50.926-05:00Yes, it is a lot, Kav.

I might need to start making larger loaves for each of the kids, now that they're grown. Otherwise, they keep coming back and raiding my freezer.<br /><br />This cake will be the perfect dessert for you. Especially since it's so easy to make. Seasonal, easy and delicious. A perfect combination.Mindy Obenhaushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15049730175697756032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-26950069518484722882016-11-08T10:15:30.267-05:002016-11-08T10:15:30.267-05:00That's a lot of pumpkin bread!!!!!

I made part of the recipe into little loaves for gift giving and baked some larger loaves for our own eating indulgence. So easy to do, and it added that extra something I needed for the annual goodie exchange with the neighbors.<br /><br />I'm going to have to try this cake! It sounds like a good one to take to one of our carry-in dinners at church. :)<br /><br />And I'm with you on the pumpkin pie spice. I've never bought the pre-mixed version, preferring to mix my own. I'll have to jump over to my baking addiction and grab that recipe!Jan Drexlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609332074458434806noreply@blogger.com
