In the spirit of this lovely fall season, the first recipe that we are going to share is our mom's divine pumpkin bread. YUM! Seriously. It is so easy---throw everything in a mixer and bake---but perfectly moist and scrumptious. Whenever I make it people rave about it and say it's the best pumpkin bread ever. They think that I am quite skilled. Little do they know. :) Enjoy!

I think this is a fabulous idea. I am not a lazy chef, as you know, but with twin six month olds have absolutely NO TIME for simmering, sweating (vegetables), seasoning to perfection and so on. I would love to contribute if you'd be interested. I have collected several fast and easy goodies I'd be happy to share. Sure love ya!
Hooray for this recipe! I LOVE LOVE LOVE this bread. Thanks for sharing it.
BTW, I've made this bread substituting half of the oil with unsweetened applesauce and it's still delicious and moist (and a little easier on the waistline during the holidays :)
I have to admit, I put in an ENTIRE bag on chocolate chips instead of just one cup! :)
