My husband's grandmother J was a very fine cook and baker. I have many of her recipes, some that I can do quite well, others not so much. I'm sharing her pumpkin bread recipe because it is Fall, ya'll (can't help it, I'm from Texas). I have been part of the family for darn near 30 years. This recipe was everyone's favorite fall treat when we would visit her before she passed away in the 90's. I'm guessing that this pumpkin bread recipe has been around for more than 70 years. It is NOT diet friendly, so I will just be having a taste (got to watch my girlish figure, teehee). My husband, on the other hand, will indulge with gusto, I'm sure! Enjoy, cause you only live once......
