Pumpkin Gingerbread Loaves
2 cup All-purpose flour, divided
1/2 cup Packed brown sugar
2 tsp Baking powder
1 tsp Ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp Baking soda
1 cup Canned pumpkin
1/2 cup Molasses
2 Eggs
1/3 cup Margarine or butter
1/4 cup Milk
1 tbsp Grated fresh gingerroot OR 1
-tsp ground ginger`
1/3 cup Finely chopped walnuts
2 tbsp Sugar


Grease the bottom and sides of four 4 1/2 x 2 1/2 1 1/2-inch loaf
pans. Grease only halfway up the sides. That way the loaves will have
nicely rounded tops and no unwanted rims around the edges. Set aside.

Stir together 1 cup of the flour, the brown sugar, baking

powder, cinnamon, and baking soda. Add the pumpkin, molasses, eggs,
margarine or butter, and gingerroot or ginger. Beat with an electric
mixer on low to medium speed until combined, about 30 seconds. Beat
on medium to high speed for 2 minutes, scraping the sides of the bowl
occasionally. Add the remaining flour; beat for 2 minutes or until
mixed. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared pans.

For the topping, stir together the walnuts and sugar; sprinkle evenly
over the batter in the pans. Bake in a 350 F oven for 40 to 50
minutes or until a wooden pick inserted near the center of each loaf
comes out clean. Cool the loaves in the pans on wire racks for 10
minutes. Remove the loaves from the pans. Cool thoroughly on the
wire racks.

To Freeze: Wrap each loaf tightly in moisture- and vaporproof wrap.
Seal, label, and freeze for up to 6 months. To thaw, let stand,
loosely covered, at room temperature for 1 hour. Or, to micro-thaw,
place 1 unwrapped loaf on a microwave-safe paper towel. Microcook,
uncovered, at 30% power (medium-low) for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes.

Makes 4 loaves, 8 servings each.

Diet tips

If you enjoy eating, but want to lose weight and boost your overall shape, then, as any doctor will tell you, you ought to decide on a specially planned healthy-minded dietary regime. In a perfect world, this needs to involve 5 portions of fruit and vegetables per day and involve the correct combination of fat, carbohydrates and proteins.

In deciding on a daily routine, the most important step is to endeavour to reduce ingestion of refined carbohydrates, salt and fats.

When selecting food, dieters frequently focus on chain store and brand name food products labelled 'low-fat'. To do this is usually a miscalculation, given that a food may well be very low in fat content, but nevertheless high in calories and carbs.

One useful tip is to drink plenty of water. At times when going through a normal work day, you think you are hungry but in truth you only need a healthy cup of water or juice. The sensations of being hungry and being thirsty are nearly the same, albeit one of the two can lead to bad health and one doesn't.

Rather than concentrating on the unhealthy foods that you should eliminate from your diet, direct your attention to the healthy foods which you should introduce to your daily routine. If you are able to bring in the recommended portions nutritious fruit and vegetables into your meal plan, you'll discover that you feel more full and have a significantl;y lower likelihood of being tempted by those damaging between meals candies.
