Let's Bake Some Bread!

Today in between 2 soccer games we baked some bread. Our family loves homemade Pumpkin Bread. It's my husband and kids' favorite! So today we made Pumpkin Bread and Banana Bread.

Of course the kids were involved in just about every step. Yes it took longer but worth it.

 The Banana Bread Recipe we used comes from "Just a Pinch Recipes". This Recipe is called: Grandma Browns Fantastic Banana Bread by Freda. CLICK HERE to Print the recipe.
