Having been introduced to our family only recently, this week’s recipe definitely tops the list of holiday themed desserts. Ever since I moved up to Long Island, my girlfriend’s parents have been inviting me to family dinners several times a week. So it only seemed right that this week’s recipe was one of Ellen Salay’s. One of the most sought after desserts in her household, and now ours, this pumpkin bread will keep everyone coming back for more.

Great pumpkin bread. Very simple and delicious. I had a slight difficulty mixing out lumps when I added the pumpkin and egg but maybe I took ‘combine well’ too seriously in the previous step.
Hi Anna! Great to hear from you. It does take a little effort to mix thoroughly but we’re glad you enjoyed our recipe.
