12 Days of Christmas

I am taking a quick break from "Sweet Aunts" and will be doing a recipe a day for a "12 Days of Christmas" theme from my holiday collection. It will be much briefer, as I will only include what the friend or family member wrote for me on the card.

The first day of Christmas my true love made for me...

3 loaves of Pumpkin Bread.

I started with this one because even if it isn't "pumpkin season" this is a delicious way to start your day (or end it). It is moist and delicious and the best pumpkin recipe I have tried.
