The fall is upon us. The nights are getting chillier and the days a little shorter. It is time to pull out the fall recipes and get cozy. One of our favorite fall foods to enjoy are pumpkins. From pumpkin beer to pumpkin muffins we love it all. There is something about that orange colored vegetable that makes you think of the deep flavors of fall.

Every year we look forward to pumpkin muffins. They come in may forms depending on the muffin or loaf pan of choice. They always satisfy our need for fall flavors all in a little bite.
