This is my all-time-favorite fall treat. Pumpkin bread. I remember my Mom making it when I was younger and I would eat it for breakfast or for snack when I got home from school. I would spread a little Country Crock (b/c that is what my Mom bought) on it and chow down. YUM! I have now modified the recipe that my Mom used to be gluten-free. I am in heaven! I even “gifted” some to a neighbor today for helping me out and she loved it! 
BTW, she isn’t GF and didn’t realize the bread was GF until I told her. I froze the remaining 1.5 loaves so that I wouldn’t eat them in one sitting, b/c I could easily do so. I plan on sharing with my Mom when she is here this coming weekend to visit. I am thinking about topping it with Edy’s Slow-Churned Pumpkin Ice Cream and maybe some Hershey’s Chocolate Syrup. Oooooooh!
Pumpkin Bread

1 ½ tsps salt
½ tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp cloves
2/3 cup coarsely chopped nuts

My son and me, November 2000. This is before we were gluten-free/diagnosed Celiac.
I can taste it with the Country Crock!
YUM!!!! I would send you some, but I have a feeling it won’t make it around here that long. I had to put the half of the loaf I had sitting out in the freezer last night to keep out of it. I have a feeling I may be into the frozen pumpkin loaf before long. You know how I like my frozen cookies.
