Little Miss

I love when a song hits me like this one does...




"Little Miss"
(Jennifer Nettles & Kristian Bush)


Little miss down on love
Little miss I give up
Little miss I'll get tough, don't you worry 'bout me anymore

Little miss checkered dress
Little miss one big mess
Little miss I'll take less when and I always give so much more

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
Yeah, sometimes you gotta lose 'til you win
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
And it'll be alright again
It'll be alright again, I'm okay
It'll be alright again, I'm okay (okay)
It'll be alright again, I'm okay

Little miss do your best
Little miss never rest
Little miss be my guest, I'll make more anytime that it runs out

Little miss you'll go far
Little miss hide your scars
Little miss who you are is so much more than you like to talk about

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
Yeah, sometimes you gotta lose 'til you win

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
And it'll be alright again
It'll be alright again, I'm okay
It'll be alright again, I'm okay (okay)
It'll be alright again, I'm okay

Oh lord
Oh, and you are loved
Are loved

Little miss brand new scar
Little miss do your part
Little miss big ol' heart beats wide open
She's ready now for love

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
And sometimes you gotta lose 'til you win
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
And it'll be alright again
It'll be alright again, I'm okay
It'll be alright again, I'm okay (okay, be alright again)
I'm okay, it'll be alright again

This is fantastic!
I hate when I lose my phone in my house and I can't call myself to find it!

Pumpkin Bread w/ Cinnamon Pecan Filling



Pumpkin Bread with Cinnamon Pecan Filling
Adapted from Martha Stewart, makes 2 loaves

3 cups all purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp baking soda
2 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground allspice
1/4 tsp salt
2 cups canned pumpkin purée
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
4 large eggs
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 cup milk

Filling:
1 1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cinnamon
1/2 chopped pecans
1/2 stick butter, melted

To make filling: Combine sugar, cinnamon, pecans and butter in small bowl, mix to combine.


For bread: Preheat the oven to 350ºF and coat your pans with butter. Whisk together the flour, baking powder and soda, spices, and salt, set aside.

In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle, combine the pumpkin and sugars. Mix until well combined, and then add the eggs and oil. Mix until incorporated, scraping down the sides as needed. With the mixer on low, add the flour in two batches, alternating with the milk, and mix until just combined.

Fill loaf pans half way, add filling, top with remaining batter.

Bake for 55-60 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through. A cake tester should come out clean. Cool the pans on a rack for ten minutes, remove the loaves from the pans, and cool completely.
