Pumpkin recipes are blowing up Pinterest this year, more than I remember seeing before. I love the put-pumpkin-in-everything craze as much as anyone, but this year I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed by it all. Maybe because it started too early, before I was even thinking about pumpkins. Maybe because I’ve had pumpkins on my porch for almost 2 months and I’ve yet to actually cut one open. Either way, I’m late to this game. If you’re not all pumpkin-ed out yet, you may enjoy this recipe for chocolate pumpkin bread. It’s free of nuts, dairy, gluten and all grains.
