Pumpkin + Pecan Bread

Here in New Mexico it feels like it went straight from ‘heat of the Summer’ to ‘middle of Fall’ overnight. In addition to roasting green chile and hot air balloons, the Fall always makes me think of pumpkins. I had a little bit of pumpkin puree left over and decided to put some, along with…
