Good Tuesday morning to everyone. Still very chilly here in my neck of the woods. Today I will be doing some baking and visiting some blogs today. Also I am writing out a list of what to buy this week for Christmas. I haven't even started Christmas shopping yet. Normally I am almost done or done. Not this year I am very far behind. I love to shop online and I will be doing most of my shopping. Simple and easy. I stay far away from the Malls at this time of year. As a teenager in high school I worked at the mall for 3 1/2 years. I got my fill on the mall especially during Christmas. lol.
Anyways I hope you all will enjoy your day. Stay warm. This kind of weather makes so many sick.
Leaving you with a simple recipe today. I hope you enjoy. ~Dena

Mmm. Now I have a craving for pumpkin muffins!! Thanks for the recipe!!
Dena, I completely agree with you about Christmas shopping...there's no way you'd find me within a mile of a mall this time of year. And I haven't started my Christmas shopping either, which is really, really bad.
I'm baking today too...just whipped up a batch of chocolate banana nut muffins. Yummm...it smells GOOD in here! LOL
Hugs,

Karen you are so welcome. I hope you enjoy it. Blessings!
Pam those muffins you are cooking sounds so good. I didn't get the chance to make my pumpkin bread today but will tomorrow. I made some Bananna nut bread today and when the kids got home it was almost gone in 10 minutes. lol. So I will have to do another one. lol. As long as they enjoy it that is what matters. lol. On the shopping I just hate to fight the crowds. Makes me so nervous to be in all that. I feel horrible too in not starting sooner on shopping. Last year I started early and hide a few of the gifts. Well I forgot all about them and found them after Christmas. That is bad. lol. I told myself I wouldn't do that this year. lol. Have a wonderful night!
Lois you are so welcome. I too love pumpkin. Roasting some seeds right now. Have a wonderful night and thank you for visiting me today.
Thanks for the yummy pumokin muffin recipe. I definately will be making these.
