Pumpkin Bread

Our guests love to have a slice of Pumpkin Bread with their coffee after a long night of "Trick or Treat" with the kids. If you don't like walnuts you can leave them out. You can also add raisins or dates.

In my opinion, one of the best ways to eat this is to put a slice in the toaster oven and toast it until the edges start to get a little brown. Then spread some cream cheese on and eat it while still warm, YUM! I eat this for breakfast each morning until I run out of pumpkin bread.
