Pumpkin Bread

With the holidays coming I thought I would start posting my Halloween/Thanksgiving/Christmas recipes. I love this SO much. I make this for Thanksgiving morning, and I serve it with some cream cheese that I just add sugar and pumpkin pie spice too. Its really good. My mother-n-law loves it and you know its good when the mother-n-law loves it.

Pumpkin Bread
1 1/2 c. flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1 c. sugar
1 tsp. baking soda
1 c. pumpkin puree
1/2 c. vegetable oil
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 c. water
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1 tsp. cinnamon

1/2 c. chopped nuts (optional)

Preheat your oven to 350. Sift together the flour, salt, sugar, & baking soda. In a separate bowl, combine the pumpkin, oil, eggs, water, & spices. Pour into the bowl w/ dry ingredients & mix just until all are combined - don't stir too much! Stir in the nuts, if you're using them (I like it better w/o the nuts). Pour into a well-buttered 9x5x3-in. loaf pan; bake 50-60 minutes until done in the middle. Remove from pan, cool on a rack.

Keep wrapped in the refrigerator.
