Fall would just not be fall without pumpkin lattes, pumpkin spice coffee, pumpkin bread, pumpkin pie, pumpkin smoothies, and the list could go on and on! As a matter of fact, I like pumpkin anything! When I began the journey of living a healthier life through clean eating, less stress, and more exercise I was sure that I wouldn’t be able to enjoy many of my fall favorites. I was wrong, really wrong! Eating clean and healthy is not as difficult as many of the attempts that I previously made by trying to count calories, fats, sugar, etc. With clean eating, I don’t think about counting anything really. I simply use organic ingredients, little to no processed and packaged ingredients, and lots of fresh fruits and vegetables.

One of my all time favorite fall breads is pumpkin apple bread. I’ve been working on getting the recipe just right. I attained that perfection yesterday! My bread was delicious. So delicious that the entire loaf disappeared by night fall. No, I didn’t devour the entire loaf. It was consumed by myself, my daughter (who also enjoys clean eating), and believe it or not, my husband who does not eat clean. I’m excited about sharing this recipe with you, and it’s just in time for the holidays!

A delicious treat anytime!
