Gluten-Free Pumpkin Bread

Lately, I’ve been dreaming of pumpkin bread.  I made these tasty pumpkin tartlets for Thanksgiving and wrote a note-to-self reminding me to use the rest of the pumpkin puree to make two loaves.  I’m so glad I did, it was just the thing for a calm afternoon at home.  How was your weekend?  We kept it low key, eating Thanksgiving leftovers, reading, watching old movies and enjoying precious family time.
Are you over all things pumpkin or do you never get enough?  I’m pretty satisfied right now, but I
know by Christmas I’ll be up to pumpkin goodness yet again!

If you are looking for new pumpkin recipes, try these sweet pumpkin biscuits with lemon buttercream frosting  for your sweet tooth, pumpkin spice petits gateaux, for a cute treat, and this delicious savory
pumpkin soup, for any day of the week!

Wishing you a great Monday 🙂
