Wow! I was just checking out my blog, when I saw this post – not posted! It is called Mommy Alzheimers. I purposely put this off to take a picture of these after I baked them and guess what…I don’t think I took the picture. Oh well, here is the recipe – my kids loved these.
When I was young I would walk into the house after school and smell the wonderful creations my mom had baked for us earlier that day. It was always fun to go home, sometimes we would get cake, others cookies – two of my favorites to this day are snickerdoodles and the chocolate cookies she would bake. Our house always smelled tremendous! At least that is how I remember it. Now that I am a stay-at-home mom, I would like to give my children the same memories. Today I found a recipe for pumpkin muffins, they smell amazing! Here is the recipe, it is actually from Libby’s, though I added a little vanilla.
