I've seriously always wanted to create a detailed recipe illustration in printable form. I figured fall was a great time to do that...since it sort of kicks off the unofficial season of baked goods. This particular recipe illustration is for our family's favorite pumpkin bread recipe, which was given to me by my college roommate almost 20 years ago. Download this pretty print for your fall kitchen decor below.

Ginger...this post is for you, my friend. Thank you for introducing me to this delicious treat all those years ago. 

Sometimes subtle seasonal decor is my favorite of all. Having a framed recipe illustration in the kitchen that shares a delicious fall treat is the perfect way to sneak in a bit of decor without a lot of extra clutter. It's also budget-friendly...use a frame you already have on hand to display your printable. It's instant decor.

Fall Recipe Illustration Printable

The pumpkin bread recipe featured on this printable is a legit recipe, y'all. You can make it right off of the pretty printable itself. I had to really make the directions fairly concise to fit it into the illustration, but it's a tough one to mess up. This was one of my must-haves in the current Fall Printable Series. I just had to have a recipe print!

This recipe came from my sweet college roommate, Ginger. It was actually her husband's recipe (then fiancé). Four of us girls lived in a cute little house in Abilene, Texas our senior year of college. My bedroom was right off the kitchen. As I was studying in there one afternoon, the most incredible smell came wafting through the door. I stepped into the kitchen to find Ginger and Cody baking up a storm. There were loaves of pumpkin bread everywhere and it was heavenly. We ate on that stuff the entire fall (we were many batches in by that point) and I loved every bit of it. It's now been in my own keepsake cookbook for the past 20 years and my kids love it for breakfast during the fall. Since it's definitely one of our fall favorites, I knew it just had to go into printable form in a recipe illustration.

I've altered the original recipe of Ginger's just slightly (to protect its original family legend status and because my youngest son is a vanilla-nut so I added a bit of that). He loves the stuff and can't handle baked goods without it. I had to keep the vanilla in the recipe illustration because, well...vanilla beans, y'all. They're cute.

My mother-in-law has always had a framed recipe for "Cinnamon Supper Cake" on her counter and it made me realize that recipes really do make the best decor. I designed this printable to be able to seamlessly fit into many different styles of homes, too. It's fairly neutral, in nature, making it easy to frame and display. If you really want to make it pop, use a frame with a mat since the slight buffalo checked background goes straight up to the edges of the design. UPDATE: after several reader requests, I also did a printable illustration of my mother-in-law's Cinnamon Supper Cake (another free download for your kitchen decor).

Printing and Using Your Recipe Illustration

• This printable is available in two sizes and formats:
• 8x10" JPEG or PDF
• 5x7" JPEG or two-designs-to-a-page PDF
• I did not do our traditional 4x6" for a specific reason this time around. Since a lot of the ingredients are fairly detailed and small on this print, I realized they wouldn't have been very readable on the end result in that 4x6" size. So, we're sticking with just the 8x10" and 5x7" versions today.
• The 8x10" or 5x7" PDFs can be easily printed at home. Both are designed to be printed onto letter-sized white cardstock (cardstock is the best to use when printing printables...try to avoid regular or copier paper). Just trim your prints after they're printed for simple framing. The 5x7" PDF has two of the prints per page (to avoid wasting paper). There is one to keep and one to share (these would make lovely gifts this season...especially if they're packaged up with a loaf of delicious pumpkin bread).
• Grab yourself a pack of white letter-sized cardstock here on Amazon. I purchase my own stash there...they've got great prices.
• You can print the JPEG formats just like you'd print any type of photo image. You can even upload them to your favorite photo printing company.
