Pumpkin Bread
September 4th, 2008. Filed under: Nancy's Recipe Box.It’s a little early yet, but time seems to have a way of flying. Soon the harvest season and then Thanksgiving will be upon us. This Pumpkin Bread recipe is one that I cut from some unknown magazine many years ago. You can make it in a loaf pan, but I like to make mini loaves.

The more I look at the word, pumpkin, the funnier it looks. Strange looking word, isn’t it?
