The Chew: Jamie Lee Curtis
From the fun new fall series Scream Queens, horror legend Jamie Lee Curtis was on hand at The Chew. She got to test out a slice of Clinton Kelly‘s Date & Walnut Pumpkin Bread. What do you think of this fall favorite? I want to know your thoughts on pumpkin being everywhere and in everything, so sound off by leaving a comment.
Jamie seemed more interested in the snacks she found backstage than anything else. But I think I would prefer Pumpkin Bread over granola any day. What are your go-to snacks?

FABULOUS! This recipe is divine – the orange honey butter takes it over the top. I made it for game night in October a couple years ago and I’m still being asked for the recipe. The bread is good enough to serve without the butter, but I’m expecting overnight company. I’ll make it into muffins and freeze them along with a roll of the butter. That will make brunch time easier. also the butter is good on almost anything! I like that it’s not too sweet and contains whole grains and more fiber and NO ONE will notice it’s heathier. Thanks Clinton – Miss seeing you daily on the Chew.
