Pumpkin Pecan Bread

Here is a yummy Pumpkin recipe that is sure to hit the spot! I made some loaf's of bread for visiting teaching this month. It was delish! I love anything pumpkin! :)

1 C. Butter, softened
3 C. Sugar
3 Eggs
3 C. Flour
1 tsp Baking Powder
1 tsp Baking Soda
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Cinnamon
1 tsp Cloves
1/2 tsp Nutmeg
1 (16 oz) can Pumpkin
1 tsp Vanilla
1 C. Pecans, chopped

Cream butter; gradually add sugar, beating well. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each one. Combine next seven ingredients, add to creamed mixture alternating with pumpkin. Stir in vanilla and pecans. Bake for 1 hour at 350 degrees.

I attached a note with a cute turkey on it. It said:

As Thanksgiving Day approaches,
Our blessings we recall;
The things we are most thankful for,
We recollect them all.
You are really special,
In all you say and do.
You?ve made a difference in our lives;
We?re thankful now for you.

Happy Thanksgiving!!
Love~ Your Visiting Teachers

Hope you enjoy the bread and this gave you some ideas for Visiting Teaching. :)
