I hadn't made muffins in awhile so I used up some frozen pumpkin from the freezer. They turned out great. Brought them into work to share.
There is a lot of snow on the ground. Went for a nice run around Chester to build up an appetite before going to the COGGS meeting at Thirsty Pagan.

I was craving cinnamon rolls and though about buying one but decided I should make sweets if I want them.
After they rose in the oven for a couple hours. I was surprised with how much they filled the pan.
I made some lunch while they cooked.
The finished product. Very delicious and I gave a couple to my neighbor Erma in thanks for borrowing her hair drier to seal windows.
