Halloween is coming up, and you know what that means…candy everywhere!! What a great holiday. I’ll take any excuse I can to eat more sugar.

Mini Pumpkin Cinnamon Chip Muffins
These Mini Pumpkin Muffins are full of pumpkin flavor and are bursting with delicious cinnamon chips. They are the perfect poppable fall breakfast!
In case anyone is keeping track, this is my third pumpkin recipe in a row. I might need to change the name of this blog to Cate’s Pumpkin Obsession. It is really becoming an issue. I can’t stay away from pumpkin recipes! Luckily, TheBetterHalf is a big fan of pumpkin too. This is a new development in our life. Pumpkin (like peaches ) is one of those foods that he thought he didn’t like. I successfully convinced him otherwise (I mean if you like cinnamon, how can you not like pumpkin baked goods?!), and now he can’t get enough either. These Mini Pumpkin Muffins disappeared quickly in our house – with tons of cinnamon chips in each little pumpkin muffin, how could they not?!…

Pumpkin recipes have really exploded in the past month. Everywhere I look, there is pumpkin – Pinterest, food blogs, Instagram pix. But I am not complaining, I am also pumpkin obsessed! There is just something about the color and flavor that screams fall. …
Pumpkin Pie Smoothie
I have been cooking so much with yogurt in the past few weeks! As I mentioned when I made this delicious chocolate snack cake, the nice people at Chobani sent me some yogurt to play around with. TheBetterHalf and I have been making all kinds of great recipes with yogurt.
Some favorites were:
- Pasta with Zucchini, Tomatoes and Creamy Leomon-Yogurt Sauce
- Chicken and White Bean Chili
- Easy Tzatziki (I left out the sour cream)
- Buffalo Chicken Corn Chowder (I used yogurt instead of cream)
The possibilities with yogurt are endless! But one of my favorite ways to use yogurt is by making a smoothie. I had some leftover pumpkin from making my pumpkin doughnuts so I decided to whip up a pumpkin pie smoothie! …
