How I LOVE fall! It is my very favorite season. One of my favorite things to see is the beautiful yellow, red and orange leaves blowing by on a sunny day. I so enjoy the pumpkin patch, decorating and of course Halloween!! Its even more special when you have a little one to share it with.
Every year, I make pumpkin bread. It is delicious, healthy and my own recipe.
