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!

    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.

      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.

Turning 40 has me reflecting a lot — where I thought I’d be, where I actually am, and what “success” really means. Who is in charge of making those rules anyway? 👀

I don’t have it all figured out. But I’m learning that I’m not behind. I’m exactly where I’m meant to be.
And if you’re struggling with this too… you’re not alone. 💛

Recently, I had the opportunity to enjoy EPCOT’s Recently, I had the opportunity to enjoy EPCOT’s new adults only bar, Geo-82. ✨ 

It’s beautiful, sophisticated, and very nostalgic. The attention to detail is astounding! 

You can even purchase a fireworks package and sip and dine while watching the show with the music piped in and lights dimmed.

My fave? The brown butter old fashioned, complete with spaceship earth stamped ice cube. 🧊 🥃 

Reservations can be made 60 days in advance on the Walt Disney World app, and walk-ins are not accepted at this time. 

I will admit it’s pricey, so something I would save for a special occasion! Very cool experience though and would 10/10 go again!
