The time of year has come when I become obsessed with all things orange, brown or pumpkin! I'm not sure why I love the Fall so much, but I fall more in love with this season every year. Pumpkin Spice coffee creamer, light jackets, long sleeve t-shirts, baking anything with pumpkin, babies in little jackets are just a few of the things I love about this time of year. The weather has even been very fall like the past week!
This past weekend we had our 1st annual Mosier Fall Family Fun Day!! The idea was born out of a Bacak family tradition and this year we made our own. Our friends Myles and Katy Adamson were in town on Saturday so they joined in the fun. We went to a pumpkin patch about 30 minutes north of here in Flower Mound. It was fantastic, definitely exceeded my expectations. They had hay rides, bounce houses, pumpkins, and hundreds of spots for photo opps! We had a great time. Cade loved playing in the pumpkins and watching all the other kids around him. It was even cool enough out to wear long sleeves and a jacket! After the pumpkin patch we came home and had carmel apples. A very successful 1st Fall Family Fun Day if I do say so myself.
All this rainy weather has made me want to bake all day lately, well not ALL day since I have a very busy 8 month old I have to keep from harming himself, but at least during naps. This morning I made Pumpkin Chocolate Chip muffins and they are quite yummy. Here's the recipe:
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins
(makes about 18 muffins)
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
Can of pumpkin
3/4 cup oil ( I used 3 parts applesauce and 1 part oil)
1 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup choclate chips
1/2 tsp. vanilla
Mix all ingredients together. Pour into greased muffin pans. Bake @ 400 for 16-20 minutes. A very yummy afternoon snack :)
Anyone else have any good Pumpkin recipes?

Yay for fall! I love fall too! Something about the cool air just gets me excited. It is funny because today during Josiah's afternoon nap making pumpkin muffins is on my to do list! Hey, if you get that pumpkin chocolate chip recipe pass it on. Cade looks quite handsome in his fall attire. Yay for fall family fun day!

I knew you were a girl after Gramma's heart. Fall always has been my favorite time of the year. I love the colors, the weather, the clothes, the football, and everything else. Think I might try your muffins. They look delicious.
