Pumpkin Streusel Muffins

So the pumpkin season continues!!  My family is looking forward to Christmas because the pumpkin will go away, but until then the torture continues.  Just looking at the picture you know these are going to be good!  These were moist, rich in flavor and just melt in your mouth delicious.  I love the taste of chocolate and pumpkin so I added some mini chocolate chips to the crumble topping.  You are more then a welcome to add it to the batter, but I just wanted a hint so I thought the topping would be perfect.  You better hurry and try these before pumpkin season is over and peppermint time begins.

1/2 cup butter, melted and slightly cooled
3/4 cup canned solid-pack pumpkin
1/2 cup yogurt or sour cream
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla

2 cups all purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp allspice
1/4 tsp cloves
pinch freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar

Streusel Topping (my recipe)
4 tbsp melted butter
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup flour
handful of mini chocolate chips (optional)

Mix together and add 1 tbsp to the top of each muffin before baking.

Preheat oven to 400° F. Line twelve muffin cups with paper liners or lightly grease the tin.

Make the muffins:
In a large bowl, combine melted butter, pumpkin, yogurt/sour cream, eggs, and vanilla and whisk until smooth. In another large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, spices and salt, then stir in the sugar. Add pumpkin mixture to flour mixture and sir until just combined. Divide batter evenly between the prepared muffin cups and top with streusel.
Bake for 14-16 minutes at 400F, until a tester inserted into the center of the muffins comes out clean.
Cool muffins in the pan for about 5 minutes to allow the topping to set up, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Makes 12 muffins.

Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps

I am always looking for fast, easy and nutritious meals for my busy weeknight meals.  These wraps have become one of our family favorites.  We serve these with a side of wontons or potstickers to complete the meal. The filling can be made ahead of time and reheated if your day is extra busy. Bibb lettuce is our favorite, but feel free to use iceberg or even romaine for this dish. I hope you enjoy these as much as we do!

Bakery style Strawberry Muffins

New recipe! Can you even believe it?! Kirsti and I decided we need to get back in the habit of sharing our favorite recipes by sharing at least one a month so here you go:   I’m starting off with these scrumptious strawberry muffins. Extra large and fluffy, these muffins are bursting with strawberry bits and topped with the most delicious strawberry glaze. If you end up with extra glaze, go ahead and drizzle some extra.  No judgement here :)   Even if you already love the previous strawberry muffins on our blog, you need to try these- they are the only ones I'll be making from here on out.  They're that good!

Best Ever Chocolate Chip Cookies

The name says it all. These cookies are my (and my husband's) favorite cookies! Not just your average chocolate chip cookies, these babies come out of the oven with a slightly crisp outside while still remaining soft on the inside. Use Ghiradelli Milk Chocolate Chips and you will have achieved chocolate chip cookie perfection!
