Cinnamon Raisin Bread Recipe

I don't remember how I came across this recipe for quick raisin bread, but I tried the recipe last month and I thought it was absolutely delicious! The recipe I'm sharing today is going to be a little different from the one I found. The first time I used the recipe I did not have baking powder available so I did without, and I really did not see much difference this time, it tasted great and came out fine anyway.

For my version I did not bother to soak the raisins or do any thing different as far as when or how I added the ingredients, I just put everything into a bowl and mixed it up. It was very gooey and sticky but I was able to scrape it out into the pan, which I of course had greased beforehand.

I also did not pre-heat my stove as I tend to always forget. I think the preparation time took about 10 minutes and the cook time was around 40 minutes.

This is such a delicious raisin bread, and I'm not even a fan of raisins usually, but there's something so delicious about this recipe and I believe it's perfect for the winter season. I made this last night, and today I heated it in the microwave and added some butter on top and it was wonderful!

1/4 cup butter
1 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk
1/3 cup raisins
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
3 tablespoons brown sugar

Dining Room Before and After

Here are my latest before and after photos. The area is the dining room, which is right off the living room. In place of the new chandelier from Home Depot , there used to be a ceiling fan. I'm not a "fan" of ceiling fans, so that was one of the first things to go. The very first thing to go was all of the old carpet that covered the floors in almost all of the rooms. As I've written previously, one of the things I first loved about this house was the paneling, and this area off the living room that I have chosen to use for the formal dining area. Not long after starting the process of buying the house, I envisioned an all-gold dining and living room. Part of that vision was gold curtains. Well, after purchasing the fabric online from Ebay , I realized they were way too sheer to be used without backing. Since taking these photos, I have added off-white muslin to make them opaque. As you can see, under that old carpet we...

Bedroom Before and After

This post has been such a long time coming! Today, I am finally posting the before and after of the bedroom renovation of our home. The first photos I am sharing are of the room when we first purchased the home. We ended up not changing much at all in this room except for the dirty, old carpet. We removed all of that, and also the particle board that had started to decay and fall apart. It was a lot of back-breaking work, and we ended up taking many weeks to complete just the removal. I think this wood paneling was probably put in place back in the 1970's. I am not a huge fan of the dark wood, but I just could not bring myself to paint over something that still looked brand new, as far as wear, after more than 40 years. Perhaps some day I will end up painting it, but we still have far too much to work on in the rest of the house to bother at this time. Here it is! The next picture (belo...

It's been forever since I last posted, so I decided to start again in what is my favorite season for decorating. Fall! In this tablescape, I have a plaid tablecloth I recently purchased from Dollar General. I love the addition of the blue in the fall colors of the plaid. It is somewhat unexpected. ' The bright orange, glass pumpkin was a HomeGoods find last month. The wooden board it is on is from Ross. All of these items were around only $10 each! The stack of plates were thrifted. I loved the neutral look of them, and I think they worked well for these setting, even though they have snow flakes on them. And I almost forgot to mention! The cookie is from Walmart bakery!
