In celebration of fall?s arrival: two new recipes!

Marathon Cookies from 101 Cookbooks. These cookies actually contain beans?but you can?t taste them! I added ground cloves, and it smelled and tasted like fall {if fall has a taste}.

Vegan pumpkin bread from Post Punk Kitchen?so good! This just might be my new fave recipe. Make sure you fill your loaf pans all the way to the top; it doesn?t rise very much. I also substituted applesauce for the oil in the recipe.
