Guest Cook Kelli Wilkins
Welcome to the After Work Cook. Today I have a guest, Kelli Wilkins. She is sharing with us a Halloween treat, a recipe and a book!
Taste of Halloween Pumpkin Bread
1 ½ cup flour
½ tsp. salt
1 cup sugar
1 tsp. baking soda
1 cup pumpkin puree
½ cup vegetable oil
2 eggs, beaten
¼ cup water
1 tsp. cinnamon
¼ tsp. nutmeg½ tsp. salt
1 cup sugar
1 tsp. baking soda
1 cup pumpkin puree
½ cup vegetable oil
2 eggs, beaten
¼ cup water
1 tsp. cinnamon
¼ tsp. cloves
¼ tsp. allspice
½ cup chopped
walnuts (optional)
Preheat oven to
350 degrees Fahrenheit. Sift together flour, salt, sugar, and baking soda. In a
separate bowl, combine the pumpkin, oil, eggs, water, and spices. Pour into the
bowl with the dry ingredients and mix until it’s all just combined (don’t over
stir!) Add chopped walnuts if you’re using them.
Pour into
well-buttered 9 x 5 x 3 inch loaf pan. Bake 50-60 minutes until done in the
middle. Remove from pan and cool on a rack.
Options: If you like your pumpkin bread extra
spicy, feel add a little bit more of the allspice and nutmeg. (I do!) Or add a
¼ tsp. of pumpkin pie spice to give it an extra boost.
Serving suggestions: I like this bread plain, but you can
eat it with butter, or transform it into a dessert by adding whipped cream, or
serving it with ice cream. However you eat it, it makes a yummy snack!
Spooky October
Spotlight on… Nightmare in the North
The latest horror novella from Kelli A. Wilkins
Hi everyone,
It’s
October, and today I’m sharing a look at my latest horror novella, Nightmare
in the North. Think of it as a pre-Halloween treat!
Although
I’m primarily a romance novel author, I also write short horror fiction. Sometimes
I combine the two into paranormal romances!
Nightmare
in the North
is a cautionary tale about traveling alone in the winter and trusting
strangers. Here’s the summary…
NIGHTMARE IN THE NORTH
Stranded
during a violent blizzard, Mark hikes to the only house nearby. George, a
well-mannered University professor, welcomes Mark and gives him shelter from
the storm.
By
morning, Mark suspects that everything isn’t what it seems. George’s adult
daughter, Kate, who also lives in the house, shares a disturbing and unsettling
tale. When questioned, George insists that Kate has a psychological issue and
can’t be trusted to tell the truth.
Mark
quickly finds himself caught in a game of cat and mouse. Who should he believe?
Is Kate’s desperate plea for help sincere? Should he be suspicious of George?
Or are both of them plotting something together?
Isolated
from everyone, Mark is forced to wait out the storm—and find a way to escape—if
he hopes to make it out alive.
