Harvest Pumpkin Bread- Warm, moist, soft, just out of the oven & paired with a Chai Tea Latte... I don't know if things can get much better!
But now that I think of it, I am not sure which is better... The heavenly aromas filling the air with scents of nutmeg and pumpkin spice as you wait for the oven timer OR taking that first bite and tasting the wonderful flavor of this pumpkin bread.
It is a tried and true recipe to really kick off that Fall feeling in the air. Is anyone else excited for the change of Season? I sure am. I think at every Season change I say, ok, this one is my favorite. But really, I guess I am always ready for a change of weather and all the wonderful things that come with each Season.
