Project #28 Warm up the oven and my heart

Nothing says  Halloween more than a pumpkin - I decided to make pumpkin coconut bread for breakfast, and it turned out delicious!! I changed it so  it served 12 people, or so three people can have four slices. Hehe.  After looking through oodles of recipes, I settled on this one because it contained lots of spices that remind me of fall.
