It’s really hard to believe it’s November already. It seems like yesterday we were celebrating the long Labor Day weekend, yet here it is, Halloween has come and gone, we’ve changed our clocks and Thanksgiving is just around the corner. Around our home, we tend to do a lot of baking at this time of year, from cakes and pies to cookies, muffins and loaf breads.  We have these great glazed mini loaf pans that we love to bake our favorite goodies in. They’re not only great for baking our favorite dessert breads like banana walnut or pumpkin spice, but we also use them for creating mini meals like lasagna and meatloaf.

These little pans are also perfect for making individual breads for the dinner table. This year we’re going to use them to bake up lots of little dessert breads for gifts at the holidays. I’m planning to put a couple in a small basket or gift tin with some sides of cheese and jams for a perfect homemade gift that I know my family and friends will love.  And since my sisters enjoy baking as much as I do, I think I’ll buy them a set of their own bread pans that I know they’ll love.
