Words:

This recipe tastes like home to me. My mom made it, and still does, every fall when I was a kid. It’s safe to say this one is very close to my heart. It’s also safe to say it’s delicious because the recipe came from an old methodist church cookbook. Church ladies know how to cook OKAY. The cream cheese frosting wasn’t in the cookbook but I added that for my work friends. I personally think adding cream cheese to pumpkin bread is like sin but hey we’re all different. So if you like it go forth and frost yourselves! Bake on people, bake on.
