Katie of Sharecipe.com talks with us about the great success of Sharecipe.com, a website she developed where people can socialize and swap recipes & cooking tips. After moving from the Northeast, to the West Coast and back to her home in middle America, Katie saw a need to reestablish the tradition of sharing recipes with family, freinds and children and Sharecipe.com was born.
Katie spoke with us about the website, and also very kindly shares with us her Grandmothers wonderful Pumpkin Bread recipe here:
Grandma's Pumpkin Bread
Grandma’s Pumpkin Bread
Katie Colbert easy | 12 servings | prep: 15 minutes | cook: 30 minutes
Very moist and delicious. Just like my Great-grandma Sittig made for me when I was little – yum! When you buy the canned pumpkin, make sure it is plain pumpkin, not the pumpkin that is ready to pour into a pie shell.
Ingredients:
3 cups of sugar
4 eggs
1 cup oil
2/3 cups of water
3 1/2 cups of flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cloves
1 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp cinnamon
2 cups canned pumpkin (16 oz cans)
Directions:
Grease either 4 small or 3 large loaf pans
Mix sugar and eggs together, add oil and water
Add rest of ingredients and mix
Bake at 325 degrees for 40 minutes – 1 hour
Cool for 15 minutes in pan
Transfer to racks to complete cooling
Serve with: Glass of milk

Anja & Georges of the World Wine Tour 2010
Anja & Georges of the World Wine Tour 2010 are currently in China, and it marks their second stop on an extraordinary wine-trek that is taking them around the globe.
Siberian Express Sunset
Legenda Kryma
To bring you up to speed, here are some of the things they have seen and learned on their journey so far:
- Red Square in Moscow is a magical place of tsars and revolutions with a surreal look of mystery. The tsars where the first to bring wine to Moscow in the 17th century.
- 80% of sparkling wines consumed in Russia are from home soil and the rest is imported from Ukraine.
- Many of these Ukrainian wines come from the Krim region of the country, which is what brought Anja & Georges to visit Legenda Kryma Importers in Moscow.
- Anja & Georges are proud to say they have collected the first 3 bottles toward the auction!
Listen here to about their adventure in Moscow:
