It’s Halloween and pumpkins are in! It’s not a secret that pumpkins seem to abound mushroom-like during Halloween, thus the use of jack-o’ lanterns. So how do we use the pumpkin flesh that we get out of those shells? There’s no need for not-so-personalized overrated candies for the kids who will go trick-or-treat. Give them something they wouldn’t miss the next time they knock on your door next Halloween. Treat them with sumptuous pumpkin bread! Here’s what you are going to do:
