Tempt My Tummy… Pumpkin Bread

I love PUMPKIN BREAD!  Really, I love MOST things pumpkin.  I am not very discriminating when pumpkin is involved.  If it is pumpkin, I want to try it. Do you agree?

I know we are all seeing tons of pumpkin recipes posted on blogs, Facebook, and – OF COURSE- Pinterest.  I am thankful I did not have to go far for these recipes.  I want to tell you about two great pumpkin bread recipes.  One comes from a dear friend back in Texas.  The other is from Jerri at Simply Sweet Home blog who shared her delicious pumpkin bread recipe several weeks ago, here on Tempt My Tummy link up.  Like I have told you many times – I host Tempt My Tummy because I LOVE all your yummy recipes!

I was in need of some baking therapy on the day I made Jerri’s bread.  Do you ever get that way?  Baking is calming for me.  I love the ease of following a good recipe, knowing the results will be worth the effort.  And, to have a home smelling of pumpkin, nutmeg, all spice, cinnamon… what could be better? Oh – So- Good!  To try Jerri’s awesome pumpkin bread, please visit her blog and check out her recipe.  It was SO moist.  I doubled the recipe, as my husband was taking one loaf to a men’s bible study.  The other remained home- thank goodness!  It was awesome.

The second pumpkin bread I am sharing is also great!  This recipe makes two large loafs.  Perfect! One to eat.  One to share!
