Baking for Baby!

One of my friends that I've had since kindergarten is going to be a Grandmother for the first time! One of the first things we talked about was the baby shower and how much fun it will be. I'm the crafty friend, so of course we discussed handmade favors for the special day.  There were so many ideas and conversation about the best favor, we finally decided on making pink camouflage cookies. We baked, iced and bagged up 300 cookies! Luckily there were 4 sets of helping hands to make the task much more fun and fast!

Proud Mama and Grandmother to be!

I can't wait to meet baby Mariella this summer!

Pumpkin Goodness!

I've been enjoying all the fall inspired drinks and food that come with the season but I found a recipe I had to try for myself!:

BAKED PUMPKIN DONUTS!!!

Except I don't have a donut baking pan, so they became:

BAKED PUMPKIN MUFFINS!!!

I followed a recipe I found on Pinterest that originally came from King Arthur Flour's website.  You can find the recipe here.  Check out our process:

It was really simple, though I did have help from Nini:

The recipe has you put a sugar coating on the top of the muffins.  We mixed our sugar with some cinnamon, which you can see here:

We also mixed up a glaze for the top of some of the muffins.  We used powdered sugar, milk, and a little pumpkin pie spice.  Just another option for a nice sweet topping (the more sugar the better!):

We had our muffins as dessert around the fire and boy were they goooooood!!!  We highly recommend you give them a try!

Wishing you big waves and an artful day!
