Easy Pumpkin Muffins

Our heat wave has finally let up a bit, and we've been airing out the house all weekend.  The cooler temperatures have left me craving fall comfort foods, so I threw together a batch of chili in the crock pot, and made these super easy pumpkin muffins.

Ingredients:

1 18 oz box of yellow cake mix

1 can of pumpkin puree

1.5 tsp of pumpkin pie spice

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350, and line muffin tin.

2. Combine ingredients until well blended.

3. Spoon even amounts of mixture into each cupcake liner.

4. Bake for 20-25 minutes.

I was tempted to throw in a handful of chocolate chips, but I resisted.  I did sprinkle the muffins with powdered sugar, though.

Do you see how much my lettuce is growing in the background?

Pumpkin Ice Cream

My husband and I discovered this delicious fall treat last season when we spent most of our grocery shopping time in the frozen food section. I love anything pumpkin and this ice cream completely captures the taste of pumpkin pie. I prefer mine smothered in chocolate fudge magic shell, but it's just as tasty with just a dollop of whip cream. If you're interested in trying it out, don't hesitate...it will only be here through the fall!
