Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread

 Since it is Fall, I feel the need to be baking lots of pumpkin treats.  I already told my husband that we are having pumpkin pancakes this weekend.  Yum!  Anyway, one of our favorites fall treats is chocolate chip pumpkin bread.  There's something about the chocolate chips and pumpkin flavor that is just awesome!
