Pumpkin Muffins

"Great for a breakfast or dessert! Serve warm with whipped cream cheese for a decadent treat. If you don't have pumpkin-pie spice on-hand, this is the recipe: 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice. I always add raisins to my muffins, but walnuts are good too!"

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am in the process of learning how to cook. For the past several years, I haven't really had a need or interest in cooking... it seems like every time I had tried to cook in the past, it was a disaster. I was also a vegetarian for over 10 years, so I have a lingering phobia of cooking poultry and fish (I still don't eat read meat.) Practice makes perfect, so that's why I am here... getting inspiration and sharing recipes.
