The best thing about Fall is the baking! I love the festive smells that take over my kitchen every year - apples, cinnamon, pumpkin, and cardamom to name a few. Those amazing scents wouldn't be possible without some delicious recipes that have withstood the test of time. My mother-in-law introduced me to her famous pumpkin bread during the first Fall I spent in her home. This particular recipe was given to her almost 25 years ago and remains a seasonal favorite.
