I am writing this from our car.  We are taking a day trip to Salt Lake City.  I like going on mini road trips.  It reminds me that there is a world out there beyond my backyard and my Idaho Falls food blog.  And, I am not looking at it on a computer screen.  Also the best conversations had are usually on the road. It’s a quick trip but we’ll be able to talk about why people write on public restroom walls, the debt ceiling, the government shutdown, and what our three and a half year old might be thinking about as he stares out the car window.

This is my third pumpkin recipe this fall and it isn’t even the middle of October yet.  I got the idea for this bread from The Food in my Beard.  I think I have mentioned this blog before. The author is painfully creative.  He comes up with the craziest creations.  Some of them I don’t even want to try because they seem too over-the-top (to me).  But some of the stuff he puts together makes jealous I did not think of it before him.

This bread is just plain fun!  There are Pop Tarts “in” it! How is putting Pop Tarts in sweet pumpkin bread not fun? Although it makes me wonder what else I could put Pop Tarts in.  I get overwhelmed with the endless possibilities!
