Punkin, punkin, punkin...

This Sunday, we held an early Thanksgiving dinner with Brian's parents and brother. And now I have a house full of yummy leftovers that we'll be eating for the next week. (That's right, B - I'm not cooking.)

For breakfast this morning, I polished off the remains of a delicious loaf of Pumpkin-Chocolate Chip Bread (I'm pregnant, so it's allowed, right?)... and was sad until I remembered that I had 4 more loaves ready to go in my freezer. YUM.

Try this one at your house...

1 c. pumpkin

1.75 c. flour
0.25 tsp. baking powder

0.5 tsp. each of salt, nutmeg, cinnamon, & ground cloves

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Grease and flour 3 small, or 1 large, loaf pan(s).
3. In a large bowl, beat eggs.
