Today started with an early morning work call.  There I sat in the lounge of my daughter’s school, post-drop off, with laptop and headset ready to go.

Like most calls, we started with introductions and pleasantries and the woman on the other end, well, let’s just say I could tell I was going to really like her.

Right off the bat, she hit me with this:

“Oh, I’m great this morning. I’ve already had my coffee and my chocolate chip pumpkin bread!” 

Hmm, did she just say pumpkin bread WITH chocolate chips?

“That sounds amazing, do you think I could get your recipe? I am actually writing a recipe blog post today and that sounds perfect.”

Turns out, you don’t need a recipe. I mean you can, if you’re the baking sort and like making it from scratch. In which case you just use your fave recipe.

I prefer to use a mix like the one from Williams-Sonoma. Just add eggs and butter and you’re done!

But, according to the lady on my work call this morning, all you do is add chocolate chips to your favorite pumpkin bread recipe.

Of course, I asked how much to add. A cup, half a cup?

Then, I knew I was making a friend for life when her answer was:

“Well, I guess you could measure your chocolate chips, but I prefer to just dump a whole bag in!”

She didn’t have me at “Hello” but she certainly had me at “dump the whole bag in.” 

I love life and am loving my new recipe for chocolate chip pumpkin bread!

Thank you, work-call lady
