Pumpkin Bread

Pumpkin is my most beloved ingredient. I love making things with pumpkin and everyone loves eating them. My mom had this recipe, I had never made it before, and I asked if I could make it. She said I could. And I’ll tell you, it was good! I’ve made it a couple times, each time it was great. My mom got his from Urban Homemaker, but I couldn’t get a link to it so I dunno’ if they have it or not. And here is what I did.
