Ribbon Pumpkin Bread (N/A & D/Ex)

[Guest guest]

What could be better than pumpkin bread with a ribbon of sweet cream

cheese running through the center? The same thing but in a lighter

version,

perhaps, making this delicious as well as guilt free. Ach, guilt

should be a

four-letter word. *lol* Anyway, this recipe is wonderful; it makes

two loaves of

rich tasting pumpkin bread and you can eat two slices for only 107

calories.

If you use a sugar substsitute and egg replacers, it is even lighter.
