I adore Fall. If you asked me to name 100 things that I love about Fall, I could definitely do it - some of the things topping my list are....pulling out the sweaters + boots, drinking hot cocoa in my favorite pair of sweatpants, the leaves turning a vibrant orange, chilly winds that clear my mind after a stressful day at work, jumping onto crunchy leaves on the sidewalk, corn mazes, getting ready for holidays, and - without a doubt - anything pumpkin!!!
I've made this pumpkin bread recipe two years in a row. I wouldn't say that its "to die for" and I won't stop at this recipe with the belief that there's nothing better out there (my creamy tomato soup, now, that's another story - no more searching is needed!) That said, how can pumpkin bread NOT be good? With that awesome cinnamon-y, pumpkin-y, nutmeg-y, clove-y flavor, it's a Fall recipe through and through. Like so many other quick bread recipes, this one makes two good-sized loaves and freezes well. Enjoy, and HAPPY FALL!!!
