Mom’s Pumpkin Bread

I recently did an interview for Feed the Band with Dakota Danielle. As soon as she mentioned she wanted something sweet, this recipe was the first thing that came to mind. She just recently released her single “One Church” which is about a small town. This recipe paired so well with that theme. This is a recipe my mom has made for years. Every year during the holidays she makes loaves and loaves to use as gifts for family and friends in our small town.  It has become so popular that if she forgets a person, they are quick to remind her of the pumpkin bread’s absence. So I am pleased to share this recipe with you. This recipe celebrates my mother and all the small towns dotted around the world.
