Unofficial Welcome to Fall

Over the past couple of days, the official fall weather has made its way to Portland. While I would usually be dreading this and wanting summer to come back, I have been anxiously awaiting fall and all that comes with it. The colder weather, fall outfits, and pumpkin spice recipes that I have acquired over the years are just a few of the things I have started to embrace. Since baking is one of my absolute favorite things to do, I of course had to start off the new season with baking something fall themed. What better way to welcome in the change, than with chocolate chip pumpkin bread! I have a complete obsession with anything pumpkin or pumpkin spice, it makes its way into so many different meals during this wonderful season. I know that having this obsession would make me a "basic bitch" but I will gladly take on that name and embrace that I am like so many other girls in that sense. Today, the recipe that I decided to make, and would set the mood for the rest of the season, is the chocolate chip pumpkin bread. Below is the link to the recipe I used, and a picture of how it turned out! I mean let's get real, food usually looks the best when its all finished, so I gave you guys the pretty version of this bread.

I just tried a piece of it, and there could not have been a better recipe to kick off fall with! Also a side note, I let my bread stay in the oven for an extra 10 minutes because it was not done when the timer went off at the time the recipe said. Just play it by ear after it has been in for an hour!
