It’s absolutely no secret how I feel about pumpkin recipes. Let’s just say if it was acceptable to have pumpkin all year ’round for every meal, I would do it.

Okay maybe not I’m not *that* extreme, but it’s pretty close.

In particular, I love me some pumpkin desserts. My favorite dessert recipe of all time is pumpkin bread with cream cheese frosting.

I could eat an entire loaf by myself and not feel bad about it. Sometimes love runs so deep, my friends . . . and that is the case here.
