Greetings!

We're kicking off a brand new theme week featuring Favorite Fall Recipes! The kind that fill your kitchen with warm, cozy aromas and make you reach for a sweater.

To start, I'm sharing a simple classic that I love to make once the weather turns crisp... Pumpkin Bread.

It's soft, moist, and full of cinnamon and spice. Perfect with morning coffee, or as an afternoon snack with a pat of butter. You can even make extra loaves to freeze or share with friends.

Mmmmm... I can't wait to get home and make some!

Be Well,
Anisa
