Pumpkin Spice Bread...by Request

I got an email from my friend Kels, last week, requesting that I make something, ANYTING pumpkin for my blog. Since I subjected her to my experiment with blue eye shadow earlier last week, I felt I owed it to her. So there you have it…

Now, I cannot take all the credit for this recipe. I got it from my dear friend Bethy. The truth is, I am not quite sure where she got it exactly; I do know that is was a recipe that was given to her mom while her family was stationed in Norway…in the 1980’s. This recipe is tried and true…even a novice baker can make this.

Part of me gave into making this because I down right HEART pumpkin bread. And really, what am I waiting for? Its fall…would I really consider making anything but this? I didn’t think so.

A bread like this kneads NO introduction…(no kidding…there is NO kneeding…just stir and pour.) See…told you it was easy!
