Kelley says, "I have probably made 500 loaves of this pumpkin bread in my lifetime. It makes great gifts. Just use the foil mini-loaves and cover with plastic wrap and a bow. I believe the Kessick boys, Christopher and Jonathan, hope I send some each year for Christmas. My mother, Glenna Blaine Allison, passed this recipe down to me, and I tweaked it a bit with a little more sugar, spices, and oil. Hers was delicious too, though. Mom added 1/2 c. raisins to her original recipe and that was good, as well."

Oh, and the picture attached to this recipe was taken in 2010 when Mom was leaving at the Airport for a Mediterranean cruise. She left me at home, but had a great time anyway!!
