Pre-test Pumpkin Patch...and Muffins

 Sorry I've been so absent but my time is full!  I have lots of yummy recipes to post and will soon...my test will be OVER Wednesday (hopefully for another 10 years!) and I'll be back with more.

 Just wanted to share some quick pictures with you from the pumpkin patch and a quick muffin recipe.  While D was mowing his yard, I occupied K.  I offered to make cookies or muffins (secretly hoping she'd say cookies)...but she chose muffins. 

So, I found a recipe from here.  I did change it slightly and should have cooked them for longer, but K still enjoyed it after she successfully ate all of her salmon and corn and bites of carrot and cauliflower.  We added a few chocolate chips on top.
