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

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.
