Spice Up Your Life

My Granny always told me that if you ever borrow Tupperware from someone, you should always return it with something in it… So I have tried to keep that tradition going now that I have a kitchen to call my own.

 This morning, my last day off before I have to go back to work, I sat at home wondering what I should do. I quickly decided laying around would be a huge waste and I was sure I would later regret that decision.

As I made my way into the kitchen I saw a small Tupperware that I immediately remembered belonged to my Dad. It must have been hiding in a cupboard somewhere for at least a month. It was just the inspiration I needed.  I rummaged through my cupboards and found a few ingredients to lead me to my next inspiration... Pumpkin Spice Muffins (gluten free, sugar free- of course).

There is nothing like this delicious, moist muffin. Why is it that pumpkin only seems acceptable around the holidays? I knew right away I had to put an end to this silly presumption and suffice my craving for pumpkin spice. Perhaps it is because I truly love fall, or maybe it’s just simply the taste, but I can’t turn down the opportunity to eat pumpkin anything no matter what time of year it is.  

Long story short… I whipped out the little tasty treats in just under an hour and filled the Tupperware with a few Pumpkin Spice Muffins and delivered it to Dad, with enough left over to indulge my craving.

  1. Look at you little miss baker/house-wife (its a good thing). I like that tradition, I may just have to start doing that! :)
