Guys, this week I got to break out the leggings and flannel and fuzzy socks and I couldn’t be happier about it. It also happens I got my first craving for a pumpkin-y treat, so I whipped up a batch of my favorite easy pumpkin bread. I first made the recipe back in 2011 (eek! 7 years ago!), so you’ll have to excuse the terrible photos and just trust me on this one. It’s the best pumpkin bread! Our whole family has been enjoying it for breakfast…and a mid-afternoon snack…and dessert. I thought I’d be able to freeze the second loaf, but at the rate we’re going, I’m not so sure!

I hope you all enjoy this week’s meal plan, and as always, feel free to comment with feedback! We’re always hoping to make these plans more useful for you and your families.
