There’s been lots of chocolate chip pumpkin muffin baking going on around here lately. We’ve got another batch in the oven as we speak for tomorrow’s Halloween festivities.
This recipe is from my dear friend Erin who is, apparently, quite the foody now. She drove to 50 Penn in OKC, stood in a ginormous line (of which she got a glimpse of Marlboro Man, so that had to ease the wait?), and got cookbooks signed by the fabulous Pioneer Woman! Ah! I can’t believe it! If I tell Patrick of this cookbook loaded with cowboy food smothered in gravy, he may snag me a copy and be the first one in line at the Houston book signing!

On to our choco chip pumpkin muffin baking…..
My egg cracka! He’s so slick, he can crack an egg with one hand and have a snack in the other!

:-:-:-:-:
The mini loaves are my favorite! It’s like 3 muffins really, but you don’t feel so bad because you just had one…see how I convince myself?

Pax enjoying the first batch! Oh breads, how I love thee. You can pose as a snack, dessert, breakfast….just whatever I need you to be!

Happy Halloween All. Be silly. Be scary. Be safe.



oh what a talented pax you have. i love his silly straw!! i’m cracking up!
thanks for the shout-out!! can you believe i was so ridiculously crazy? I’m getting ready to post pics of PW and MM!!
Best Jack-O-Lantern ever!!!(that’s from Papa). I think I see a new mirror in your kitchen. Can’t wait to check it out! Have a great Halloween!!!
Mema…the mirror..trash!! Can you believe it? Well, you probably can…My neighbor threw 2 of them to the curb one Monday and I just trotted right over and hung them both in my house!
Ha!
I SOOOO want to go see her when she’s in Houston but it’s the same day and time as Katie’s Holiday Ballet Recital
I might have to have you get me a cookbook signed if they let you
Super cute pics and the food looks Yummo!
I made the muffins this morning! YUM!! I made them as an effort to bribe Allison! I am weaning her right now and it’s tough, I thought maybe a treat would get her mind on a “big girl breakfast” and not mommy. It worked! She loved them! I did too! I have had two today…two big ones…I think that negates 5:00am boot camp and a 5 mile run, but oh well! Thanks for putting Erin’s recipe in your blog! YUM!
