This Pumpkin Bread recipe comes from my mother-in-law Sheri and has been made for generations.

Sheri’s recipe is a tried and true pumpkin bread.

Sheri's Pumpkin Bread - a tried and true favorite!

Things I love about October:
Target’s Halloween section
G-rated Halloween movies (the others are too scary)
Most importantly…all things pumpkin.

Around this time of year John starts asking, “Where’s the pumpkin bread?” So then I have to go digging for my mother-in-law’s famous pumpkin bread recipe which I can never find and have to call my mother-in-law for. I still don’t think my bread will ever be as good as when Sheri makes it but here’s to trying.

The reason the bread looks a little well done was that I was SABOTAGED by a 2 foot blondie named Brock. He’s notorious for playing with my oven buttons and turned my oven up to 400 degrees while it was baking.
