Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Muffins

August 24, 2021 | food, recipes

These Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Muffins are so good! They were easy to make and so light! I love making them in the fall when the weather is cooler. They make my house smell so good, and also, they freeze really well if you want to save some for later! I started making these when Bobby and I first got married, and he asks for them every year now. It’s our little tradition!

Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Muffins:

Ingredients

  • 1  cup  all-purpose flour (about 4 1/2 ounces)

  • 1  teaspoon  baking soda
  • 1/4  teaspoon  baking powder
  • 1/4  teaspoon  salt

    The pictures are fine for the recipe….the font however is quite hard to read. It shouldn’t be this hard to read a recipe.

    • Heather says

      December 3, 2012 at 6:23 pm

      when I switched over to self hosting 2 years ago all of my posts from my first few months of blogging went to that font and I haven’t yet figured out why or how to change the whole bunch of them. It’s not intentional, sorry.

This one is great for busy folks who want to make a “special” drink without too much fuss. 🎄 

It’s literally just water frozen in the bottom of a glass with some rosemary taped in it. I waited a few hours the poured in some Prosecco and added in edible glitter (you can use multiple colors!) pretty and delicious, and keeps your drink cold! Cheers! 🥂 ❄️

The end of the year is always a time that I reflec The end of the year is always a time that I reflect on how things went, what I want to do different or better in the new year, and to be honest…I’m always really hard on myself.😕

I often end up sad or frustrated that things didn’t “turn out as planned.” But planned according to who? Success according to what? 

As we were ice skating last weekend at Gaylord Opryland, laughing and just having so much fun as a family, I was hit with what I can only describe as a warm fuzzy. I wanted to smile and cry all at the same time. I thought to myself….this is it right here. 🥹

If nothing else good happens, I’ve got this and am so rich because of it. These moments. This is what I always prayed for as a girl when imagining my family one day. And it’s here, happening right now. I don’t want to wish it away waiting for the next big thing to happen. 

I just want to ice skate with them in a place that makes us so happy. Wha a year. ⛸️ ❤️

It’s still Thanksgiving weekend so this counts as It’s still Thanksgiving weekend so this counts as a Thanksgiving post, right? 🦃🫶🏻

I took the day off on Thursday and then worked a ton Friday, EK had bball Saturday and then we went out of town. I realized I never posted for turkey day! 😜

I have so much to be thankful for, most days I feel completely undeserving. God has been good to us, even in the days that don’t feel so good. His plans may not make sense at the time, but thankfully He is the one that sees the whole picture, not us! 

We are going into the Christmas season with hearts full of gratitude and love as we celebrate the birth of Jesus. This is the most special and my favorite time of year! Let the celebrating continue! 

Lastly, I am thankful for all of YOU! For liking, commenting on, and watching my content over the years. Without you, my career doesn’t exist and I am beyond thankful for the opportunities this job has given me. So THANK YOU! 🫶🏻

Using the Braun IPL has completely changed my routine, it’s the at-home alternative to salon laser hair removal that gives me long-lasting results without the appointments or pain.

If you’ve been thinking about trying IPL, now’s the time, @BraunBeautyUS Black Friday sale is happening Nov 16 – Dec 1, with $120 off the Braun IPL. Up to 2 years of smooth, salon-like skin, right from home. #BraunIPL
