Justin's Hush Puppies

⁽¹⁾

Hush puppy is an old Southern term that originated after the Civil War. People didn't have enough for themselves to eat let alone feed their dogs, so when the old hounds started barking from hunger, they would throw pieces of fried corn bread to them, yelling, 'Shut up, dog! Hush puppy!"

Quick And Easy Pumpkin Bread

This is more of a cake than a bread, but it's still good. I added twice as much pumpkin, since the flavor was a little overwhelmed by the spices, and left out the cloves. I also baked 1hr 30 min at 325, and it came out much fluffier.
