Hey everyone! I’m not sure if I mentioned it or not, but I’m actually at home this weekend!
The last few days have been CRAZY and my life is about to take a turn in the right direction. I don’t have anything finalized and I’m still ironing out a few details, but the next few weeks are going to be busy, exciting, and intense. I hope you guy can come along for the ride with me 
Stay tuned for details! Hopefully I will be ready to release them soon!
Oh, I made some muffins the other day…
I have no idea why, but I’ve been on a baking kick lately.
Part of the reason is that I’m trying to use up as much food in my apartment as possible (I’m moving later this month), but it’s still quite odd for me.
I cook everyday, but I only bake a few times a year.
This recipe really helped me accomplish my goal.
I have so much food in my pantry (one of the perks of being a food blogger), but moving it all the way to Texas is going to be no bueno.
Do you think I want to lug cans of pumpkin, sacks of flour, and bags of sugar?
The answer would be no.

- 1/2 cup pumpkin

I looove pumpkin, and these muffins look fantastic! I’m saving the recipe for the fall, when pumpkin puree is back on store shelves around here. Sounds like you have some exciting times ahead of you… looking forward to hearing the news when you’re ready to share it

All this baking looks incredible! Definitely the right way to use up the pantry items. Love this recipe with the pecans baked in and the pumpkin seeds sprinkled on. If you refuse to cook for me, at least you can still bake… I wouldn’t complain.
