The seasons have changed here; Days have gotten shorter, Nights have gotten colder and longer, and Trees have changed color and lost there leaves. These weather changes mean one thing in our house, it's officially soup and baking season! On the first truly cold weekend it only seemed right to bake a tasty quick bread including the quintessential Fall favorite, Pumpkin Spice. This soft, slightly sweet, nutty spiced pumpkin loaf encompasses favorite Fall tastes and colors; perfect with a hot cup of tea. 

Here's my recipe:
