Keeping the holiday treats and Thanksgiving going with this Pumpkin Loaf. This loaf is a great substitute for pumpkin pie or easy breakfast idea. I served it up Thursday on Thanksgiving day for dessert, while everyone else ate regular pie. Pumpkin and warm spices throughout, topped with a cream cheese frosting on the outside and pistachios on top. Perfect to warm you up this holiday season!
