Here’s fall baking at its finest. Pumpkin Coffee Cake recipes have a few more steps that take a few more minutes of preparation time. But the extra effort is well worth it! Without a doubt, you will thoroughly enjoy a piece or two of this coffee cake with your morning or afternoon coffee or tea. This old recipe has been in my family for decades. The original recipe called for butter. But, I use margarine which is a little healthier for you.

Kitchen Cleaning Tip
We all have a lot of bottles. And, they are in all shapes and sizes. Bottles with small necks are hard to clean. nevertheless, you need to clean them out.
Fill 1/3 of the bottle with warm, soapy water. Add some gravel. Then, shake and stir the bottle. Pour out the contents and rinse out the bottle with clean, warm water. If you want to save the gravel to use later, rinse it off to remove dirt and gunk.
In addition to bottles in your house, it works on vases, and even hummingbird feeders.
