Food has always been the glue in my life. It’s forged friendships, seen me through the tough times and been there when there’s been a cause to celebrate. Friends have come and gone and family has moved away, food has always been the focus.
I’ve had many jobs and journeyed many paths and the one thing that has always been wherever I am is the chocolate chip. It seems to be a staple that goes with so many foundations from cookies to brownies, hot cocoa to just out of the bag.
As we head into my favorite season, fall, the chocolate chip pairs well with pumpkin. These Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins make the home smell like love and tuck nicely into a lunch bag. They’re a great grab and go in the morning and make a scrumptious snack anytime.

These muffins look SO good. Pinned it! It's been awhile since I've visited, and you've changed your site a little bit. I don't know if it's just me and my screen, but the photo is ginormous, and it looks a little bit fuzzy. Is that normal? Or maybe it's the recipe print option? Just wanted to ask.
Hope you're doing well!
