Pumpkin Pecan Bread Recipe

It is that time of year when everyone is going crazy over pumpkin pie, and I am sitting here wondering "what's all the fuss about?"

I hate pumpkin pie. And pecan pie, but that is another rant altogether!

And while I don't like pumpkin OR pecan pie - I absolutely love pecans and pumpkin...just in all kinds of other ways. I am perfectly fine skipping the pie!
