I love Stop & Shop. I have 2 nearby so I'm sorry NYC doesn't have one yet. Hopefully soon!

I always make pumpkin bread every year for the holidays. The recipe comes from http://www.verybestbaking.com/recipes/detail.aspx?ID=32216. It is so easy and so yummy too. All my kids love it.

Here it is:

Pumpkin Spice Quick Bread

Ingredients

* 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
* 1 cup LIBBY'S® 100% Pure Pumpkin
* 3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
* 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter (we recommend Land O Lakes®), softened
* 2 large eggs
* 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
* 1 teaspoon baking soda
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1/4 teaspoon baking powder

PREHEAT oven to 350° F. Grease 9x5-inch loaf pan.

COMBINE flour, pumpkin, brown sugar, butter, eggs, spice, baking soda, salt and baking powder in large mixer bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often for 1 to 2 minutes until well mixed. Spoon batter into prepared pan.

BAKE for 45 to 55 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan on wire rack 10 minutes; remove to wire rack to cool completely.

*Substitute 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger and 1/4 teaspoon each ground nutmeg and ground cloves for pumpkin pie spice.

Ahem. If you are not a stickler for tradition opt for a fresh turkey and cut it in 8ths (or have the butcher do it).

This speeds up your cooking time by a few hours. Season the pieces with our favorite herbs and rub with duck fat. Roast in a 350 f oven for 2 hours (1st hour cover with foil).

So I got this recipe from Theta Mom and it's very easy and good. You need one box of Duncan Hines Spice cake and 15 ounces of pure pumpkin in a can. You mix the cake powder (do not follow box instructions) with the pumpkin and 1/4 cup water and bake in a greased pan at 350 for 30 minutes and you get moist spicy pumpkin bread.

That sounds like heaven to me!
