On Monday, I baked a Lime-Nutmeg Bundt Cake, which is my free-wheeling adaptation of an Orange-Cardamom Loaves recipe. See "What Spices Go with Lime in a Quick Bread?" thread for all the details.

Today I made KAF's Pumpkin Cinnamon rolls. Just a few changes, I used raisins as I don't have dried cranberries and crystallized ginger, besides I like raisins in my cinnamon rolls. I used walnut oil instead of butter and I used cake spice instead of the cinnamon, ginger and cloves in the dough. It's an easy dough to roll out. they just came out of the oven a few minutes ago so I haven't tried one yet.

I iced them but I thought the plain ones made a better pic.

Ah, pumpkin and ginger--a winning combination, Len

Today I baked my Lower-Fat Whole Wheat, Sourdough Cheese Crackers from the dough I made last week.

Thanks all! They came out pretty good but just a tad dry. The instructions said to bake for 25 to 30 minutes, I went with 30. Next time I'll shave 2 minutes off. But overall, I'm pretty happy with them.

I baked KAF pumpkin pie that has black pepper in it(I've baked this one before) and it was very good.I cheated and used a store bought crust,had too much filling for the deep dish pie crust so I baked 2 custard cups of the filling only 20 min baking for them and the pie took about 45 min looks good no cracking and I'm eating one of the custard cups now and it's hitting the spot with a dollop of whip cream.

Well, tonight was supposed to be the night I baked my apple pie for Thanksgiving, but when I took the pie dough out of the fridge it was too crumbly to roll out, I must not have hydrated it enough last night. I sprayed it with water and am letting that soak in, if that doesn't rescue it I may have to make a new batch.

I'm just not a fan of pumpkin pie, but my wife likes the custard filling in it, so a few times either she or I have made a batch of the filling and baked it in ramekins--pumpkin pie without the pie crust. She often makes it with Splenda instead of sugar.

I wound up making another batch of pie dough for this pie, and it needs to chill for an hour or two, so I might wind up making the pie tomorrow morning. If I can rescue the first batch I'll make some other kind of pie with it over the weekend, possibly a cherry pie, I think I still have some pie cherries in the freezer.

I sympathize with you on the pie crust, Mike. In my case, it was those two "not pie pumpkins" that put me behind on preparations. At least you will be able to use the first crust in another way.

This Thanksgiving morning, I baked Stella Parks’ Yeasted Pumpkin Bread as twelve rolls, following her directions, except that I baked them in a 9x9-inch pan rather than in a cast iron 10-inch skillet. Of course, I used my stand mixer, added 3 Tbs. flax meal, used white whole wheat flour (1 1/2 cups and made up the rest of the weight with the bread flour), and added 2 1/2 Tbs. special dried milk. I used grapeseed oil rather than butter. I will take these to the friends’ house where we are invited for dinner tonight. The pumpkin and maple should make a delicious accompaniment to the traditional dinner.

So this morning I baked my pie and a 10x10 Texas Chocolate Sheet Cake, and then I made popovers as the appetizer for dinner. One of our guests brought a cherry pie her daughter made, so we had 3 desserts on the table. Plenty to give thanks for.

I'm going to wait a day or two to see if the first batch of pie dough can be rescued, not sure what I'll make with it anyway, since we've already had some cherry pie this weekend.

We are almost out of bread, so I baked two loaves of my Buttermilk Barley Whole Wheat Grape Nuts bread. One will go into the freezer.
