pumpkin bread

It sounds intimidating, but it’s super easy to make pumpkin bread from a real pumpkin. Even though it takes a bit more effort than using canned pumpkin, the process is so much more fun – plus you get pumpkin seeds from a real pumpkin.

Pumpkin Bread Recipe:        NOTE *I’ve broken the recipe into two halves that will be mixed together separately. Your welcome.
