Harvest Pumpkin Bread... try this at home...

On a vacation twenty years ago, I purchased a cookbook "Simply Colorado : Nutritious Recipes for Busy People. Here are some of my favorite recipes: Chicken Cacciatore, Claim Jumper's Black Bean Stew, Firecracker Enchilada Casserole, and Saucy Fruit Salad.  Monday, I was flipping through the book and decided to try some new recipes; Gringo Chili and Harvest Pumpkin Bread.  Yesterday, I shared the bread with my Adult Education Students.  The bread got rave reviews.  As the bread is baking...it smells wonderful. Harvest Pumpkin Bread
