Last night I made a double batch of pumpkin spice muffins. One batch to eat for breakfast this morning, and another batch to stash in the freezer for later. The way I see it, weekends are for sleeping in. I mean really, the last thing I want to do is have to get up and think about having to make a big Sunday breakfast for everyone.
I prefer hiding under the covers and sleeping in, which is why, I try and make most of our family meals ahead if time. Unless of course I have to get up at the crack of dawn so I can go double coupon shopping. Then I’m happy to jump out of bed and rush out the door.

Sur La Table muffin tins? For real. You’re totally a baking snob. I love it.
I. Am. Whooped. Up at 5 to go to the Walmart, and then Albies. Whooped, I say. And I have to go back on Tuesday for more. I just noticed the little bat in your picture. Was thinking you were having a contest to count all the bats that show up in your pictures – LOL

Hmm, you might want to change the recipe to “Makes at least 24 muffins.” I’ve just had a situation where I ran out of muffin liners and now have lots of leftover batter. Now I have to bring the batter to a friend’s house and use her muffin liners which means I have to share! This is devastating.
