Howdy folks!
Do you feel the crisp fall air?
I do...there was snow here this morning!
Ugh...I am not ready for that.
SO...let's warm up those kitchens by baking something yummy!
That's right...pumpkin bread.
I know what you're thinking.
Everybody's got pumpkin bread.
What makes mine special?
Well...I guess nothing if you ask it like that!
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins

Let me just say...these are reallllllllly good.
Doing anything fun this weekend?
But hey...it's MY favorite pumpkin bread.
Really...see? The tag says so.
I've tried many recipes...this one...
in my most humble opinion...is the absolute best.
Honest.
Oh...and it's great for giving!
Just put the dry mix into a zipper storage bag...
tuck it into a cute little home-sewn fabric bag...
add a cute tag (don't forget instructions inside)...and you've got a tasty gift!
Instructions for the bag are coming...
they are part of another post that I did for a guest spot.
You guys will see it here next week...so stay tuned!
