pumpkin muffins

Every fall I pull out my tattered pumpkin muffin recipe because it is simply not fall without the comforting smell of their spicy warm goodness coming from the galley. This recipe makes enough to be able to share the wealth with neighbors and friends that need a little home cooked kindness as the days are getting shorter and leaves are littering the sidewalks.

    Carol,

    Your pumpkin muffin recipe is a bit different than mine but looks wonderful! I am making them this week to add to baskets I am making for several sick friends or church members who need comfort food! Fall, the colors, and the smells bring me comfort so thank you for adding this recipe to your mix! When is the cookbook coming to fruition?? It seems like you have added so many great ideas and recipes! Time to make your watercolors and recipes collide! Love, MB
