It's not a surprise that this month's recipe is our famous Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Sweet Bread!

The Fall aromas of baking pumpkin loaf just take me back to so many happy Fall memories- like, leaves crunching underfoot on a relaxing crisp morning walk along the canal path viewing all the tree colors along the Delaware river.

We hope that you enjoy this tantalizing Autumn treat. There is so much to love about Fall.
