Stubborn kid!





I'm not sure if its the stubbornness of Daa Daa coming out or what?..but i can't get E to look at the camera for nothing. Trying to take a picture of her is like pulling teeth around here. I love dressing this kid up, she is my paper doll! Ha! Remember those things? Eventually I did get one good pic of her LOOKING AT ME AND SITTING STILL!!!!!!
I have a migraine I'm going to bed!

Pumpkin Muffins


I woke up one morning last week and was craving pumpkin muffins, I searched the internet and found a really easy recipe for them. I decided to try, and oh my word they were DELICIOUS!!!!!!!! I am going to make them again soon! Too bad i didn't have a screened in porch and an old rocking chair, I would have felt like my Granny when i was sipping on my coffee and eating that yummy muffin.... man i sure do miss her. :( I still have her, however, Alzheimer's took most of her about 3 years ago. On with happier thoughts here is the muffin recipe...

Pumpkin Muffins
Ingredients:
1 package yellow cake mix
1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 12 muffin pan.
Mix together all ingredients. Spoon into muffin cups.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of one comes out clean.

Can you get in easier than that?

I used William Sonoma's Pumpkin Puree and did not add ground cloves, but I'm sure just the regular pumpkin puree will be just as good!! :)
