Pumpkin Bread with Chocolate Chips

It finally feels like fall, doesn't it? There's a little chill in the morning that makes me want to drive to the nearest Coffee Bean and order a hot cup of coffee. The trees in my neighborhood are starting to turn orange and the air smells crisp. And so begins the month of reflecting on life's blessings.

Anyways, onward to the goods! There is no better way to welcome fall than to bake something with pumpkin in it. Am I right, or am I right? This pumpkin loaf is moist, pumpkin-y, and pretty good if I do say so myself. I added chocolate chips to the batter because, as you know, chocolate makes everything better...and I do mean EVERYTHING.
