All things pumpkin is sort of blogger cliche. But I'm totally doing it today. I should have had a chevron fabric background with a mason jar of milk next to it. Someday I'll get these things right.

Can you believe that I didn't eat pumpkin until last year? I've always been a picky eater but I've been trying to expand my horizons the past couple of years. Good thing or I would have completely missed out on pumpkin. That would have been tragic.

Today I thought I'd share with you one of my new favorites, pumpkin chocolate chip bread.

I want to eat another loaf in one setting just looking at the gorgeous nighttime photo.

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread

1 can pumpkin puree (plus a little more if you love pumpkin)
1 tsp vanilla

1/4 cup sour cream
3/4 cup vegetable oil

1/2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 cup chocolate chips + some for sprinkling on top
