Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread

I got this from my friend CS. It was really good but we ate it all before I could get a picture...

1 can of pumpkin puree
4 eggs
1 c. vegetable oil
2/3 c. water
3 c. white sugar
3 1/2 c. flour
2 tsp. baking soda
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. cloves
1/4 tsp. ginger
1 package chocolate chips

Preheat oven 350F, grease and flour 3 loaf pans. In a large bowl mix together pumpkin, eggs, oil, water and sugar until well blended. In a separate bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger. Stir the dry ingredients in to the pumpkin mixture and mix until just blended. Pour into the prepared pans. Bake for about 50 minutes. Loaves are done when knife inserted in the center of bread comes out clean.

Mummies In A Blanket

My Mom used to make up pigs in a blanket when we were little. My kids have never had them ( I don't especially like Vienna Sausages so I usually don't make them) so I thought I would make them for Halloween. I used the Baking Powder Biscuit recipe, rolled it out flat and cut into thin strips with a pizza cutter. Wrap around Vienna Sausages to look like a "mummy" and bake at 350F for 10-12 minutes. Dip in ketchup and/or mustard. Not the healthiest meal but fun for the kids once in a while.
