Coming Together
The invitations arrived from Tiny Prints, and turned out great! We don't have a theme, other than colors, orange and fushcia. The orange actually represents Leukemia Awareness in honor of Allison Zicree.
The outfit. Orange tutu from Gymboree and a black tee shirt with fushchia rhinestoned Hello Kitty. So cute!

Dessert of the Week: Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Loaf
Ingredients
3 1/4 cups all purpose flour
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp clove
1/2 tsp ginger
2 tsp salt
1 cup vegetable oil
1 3/4 cups pumpkin puree (15oz can)
3 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
2/3 cup water, room temperature
1 cup (12 oz) chocolate chips or chopped semisweet chocolate
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350F and position a rack in the middle. Grease and flour two 9x5 inch loaf pans or line them with foil or parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, spices, and salt. Set aside.
In another large bowl, whisk together the oil and pumpkin puree. Add the granulated sugar and whisk to combine. Add the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract and water. Mix in the chocolate with a rubber spatula.
Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix (and don't worry if you see a few small streaks of flour). Divide into the two pans and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Transfer pans to a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes, then unmold leave to cool completely.
