“Growing up, my mom would make her delicious pumpkin bread every year and it always signified the start of fall for me. I loved coming home to the smell of a fresh baked loaf in the oven, there’s nothing like it! Now, her authentic recipe has made its way into kitchens around the country and it makes me so happy to see! There’s just something about a warm slice of pumpkin bread to give you all the fall feels this time of year. I hope you enjoy it!”
