I don't know about you, but I love pumpkin:)
Preferably in cookies, cupcakes, muffins, or bread . . .. .
Starbucks has a great cream cheese pumpkin muffins, sadly they were out yesterday when I stopped in for my peppermint mocha--no, they haven't started their Christmas flavors, but I order it anyways:)
(That is next up on my list--Espresso Cupcakes with Peppermint Frosting)
Fall is definitely not my favorite season, but I enjoy the goods it brings with it, including the holiday of Thanksgiving. I don't like *cold,* and hate the thought of winter coming. Halloween is probably my least favorite holiday, although Shannon's favorite. I told him last night he would be dressing up with the kids, and he said, "You know I will, I used to dress up when I went trick-or-treating with Kylie." I am much more of a Spring person :) I could live with 75 degrees year round. However, I have never lived in such a place . . . nor will I ever haha:)
But for today, we are talking Pumpkin:)
Soooooooooo. . . . .
Pumpkin Cupcakes with Mascarpone Frosting (with a little bit MORE cinnamon than called for)
&
Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread.
I however found this amazing recipe yesterday, and I want to make it too, just not sure if I will have room! I don't have room for the ones above. Oh, in our new house I better have a separate fridge just for my stuff and of course, an extra big kitchen.
**I don't eat much of what I bake . . . well, expect maybe the toffee I made. I just enjoy making them, but not so much the eating part. And well the pumpkin bread might be another story--I love that too. Not because I think they don't taste good, I just would much rather bake then eat:)**

Doesn't it look heavenly? :) Even Shannon thought it looked good, and he isn't so much into Chocolate . . . .Unless it is Chocolate Symphony Bars with Toffee he LOVES them, and buys "me" them (because they are one of my favorites) but eats most of it ;) haha It is the thought that counts:D
For the cupcakes, I decided to use my mini-cupcake pan too! Little delicious pumpkin bites with Mascarpone Frosting
After finally making mascarpone frosting, i might never go back . . .so light & fluffy:)

| But, Mommy being in the kitchen, and him just sitting there leads to lots of pouting and feeling sorry for himself-he threw himself on the floor and continued to pout--such a hard life he leads. |
