Pumpkin Bread

Submitted by Tayders momma

"I had pumpkins left over from Halloween that didn't get carved, and feeling advantageous, I sifted through my moms endless selection of cookbooks for some kind of recipe that I could use that much pumpkin in besides pies. I found one and then had to figure out how to get the pumpkin out of the skin...Thank goodness for MOM! (she does alot of canning...I don't!)"

This was delicious. My picky 2 yr old and 1 yr old ate it so fast I had to make more. Thanks for the recipe.

This pumpkin bread is the best! I had to make it twice over Thanksgiving because it just kept disappearing. It is a very easy and delicious recipe that everyone will love.
