Pumpkin Bread

Fall has arrived, winter is vastly approaching and I'm bundling up in numerous layers ready to snuggle next to a fire place. The only problem, I don't have a fire place! So I bake a lot throughout the fall and winter months. It give a great heat source to the house and yummy treats to share!

One of the big hits in my house is Pumpkin Bread. Now I have to give credit where it is due, this is not my recipe. When I lived in Florida for my internship after college the family I stayed with, someone who I saw as a second mother growing up, shared this amazing recipe with me.

We both have our ways of making it, replacing this and that for our reasons, but in the end the bread is amazing and truly I swear some days its just as good as a cake.
