Pumpkin Bread

So, I love pumpkin, but is has taken me a while to feel that way.  I used to really not like, at all, pumpkin pie.  (GASP!)  I know, crazy, right?  Well, I finally came around. 

There are so many pumpkin foods out there.  I gonna try and bring you a bunch of my favorites before Thanksgiving, and maybe after, because hey, pumpkin shouldn't only be enjoyed before Thanksgiving.
