Pumpkin and Cream Cheese Bread

Autumn is my most favourite time of year!

I love the cooler weather and changing of the seasons, the leaves changing colour and falling to the ground. Families come together for back to school, Halloween and Thanksgiving. It is a special time of year and I wish it would last forever.

I personally start watching more TV in the Fall and cook more than I would in other months. Tasty feel good recipes like this Pumpkin and Cream Cheese Bread are really popular in my home.

Since these are in mason jars they are perfect for gift giving. They also make a fun way to snack for the kids. I love cooking them in the mason jars as it cuts down on dishes we use as well. Hopefully you find these fun to make and eat as well 🙂
