***Pumpkin Bread***

Tastes just like the box of Pillsbury Quick Bread. Makes two loaves. Fabulous with some powdered sugar on top when cooled.

5 eggs
1 29oz. can pumpkin
3 1/2 cups sugar
3/4 cup vegetable oil (canola works fine)
4 1/2 cups flour (half white/wheat or all wheat pastry flour works well)
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
4 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons nutmeg
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cloves
1 teaspoon ginger
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips (optional)
1 cup nuts (optional)

Beat eggs and other ingredients in order given, mixing well.

Pour into TWO greased 9x13 pans and bake at 350 for 25-30 min. If you use bread pans, pour into TWO greased bread pans bake for 60-65 minutes or until toothpick comes out of center clean.
