Bring your home to life with the earthy smells of pumpkin and spices in this healthy Gluten Free Pumpkin Bread recipe.
I am wondering who else is right there with me this time of year craving comfort? Comfort in clothes, comfort in food, and comfort in warmth. My blog posts have been all about bread lately and thank God they are made healthy now-a-days with vegetables, grains, protein and fruit added. Using only the best freshest ingredients will ensure the most flavorful dish! Often the foods that everyone most enjoys are foods that that focus on breaking bread together, sharing a good cup of tea or wine in an intimate and personal manner rather than slaving over a hot oven. Make this Gluten Free Pumpkin Bread ahead, and enjoy with family and friends!
Pumpkin is by far my most sought out ingredient as soon as September 1st hits the calendar. Pumpkins are beautifully effective in also setting the mood in a home for Fall. Sprigs of pine and clusters of mini pumpkins scattered on mantels and banisters are inexpensive ways to make the evening your own! So I hope you are enjoying fall as much as we are- with lots of bread breaking with family and friends! xo!
