Personal Notes:
I love everything pumpkin! When Jon and I were dating, he tried to impress me by making pumpkin muffins. He's quite the baker, so he did a great job! Jon loves the fall, and a clear sign of Fall is when I bake my pumpkin bread. The smell of pumpkin spice is one of the highlights of Fall. I found this recipe in the cookbook titled PUMPKIN: A Super food for all 12 months of the year by: DeeDee Stovel. It was given to me as a gift by a roommate when I was single.

On our first year of marriage, Jon and I made it a tradition to visit Half Moon Bay for their annual pumpkin festival. He used to go to this festival as a kid. I was delighted to find this recipe in this cookbook! I usually double the recipe and make two loaves. I make this bread throughout the Fall, and it's such a joy to make and eat.
