Aunt Mikie’s Pumpkin Muffins

Today we have another great recipe from my SIL Amy!  She’s always making the best stuff, so I hope you’ll enjoy her fun guest post on these award-winning pumpkin muffins!
  

Aunt
Mikie’s AWARD WINNING Pumpkin Muffins
I’m sure you have a
good recipe already….forget it!  These
will melt in your mouth with unbelievable texture and flavor!  You will thank me when YOU are famous for
these!


Yes, I know…….your grandma
makes the best pumpkin muffins/bread….EVER! 
Well, you haven’t tried Aunt Mikie’s pumpkin muffins!  Seriously.  I have tried everyone’s “famous” pumpkin….stuff.  Most pumpkin muffins, bread, bars . . . whatever….
taste about the same.  Maybe the spices
vary somewhat, but let’s be honest, really it’s all about the
same delicious….but still the same.  UNTIL NOW! 
I first heard about these
muffins almost 10 years ago when Aunt Michaeleen moved to town.  Her kids raved about her incredible pumpkin
muffins.  I thought, “That’s nice.”  I mean, really, how good can a mini muffin
be, right?
Then I had one.  No…. I had six.  The first time she made them for us, I was in
love.  Pumpkin love.  We dumped all other pumpkin recipes and make
ONLY these!  A total family
favorite.  We have to ration these out as
children have been known to steal away a couple dozen and stash them in undisclosed
locations.  These are ridiculously
fabulous!  Make them….you will devour
them!  Serious pumpkin paradise!  Enjoy!
Let’s get started:

Team players….

Mix wet ingredients together
until smooth.

Mix dry ingredients together.

Stir wet and dry ingredients
together until combined.  Don’t over-mix.

Scoop into greased mini
muffin pans….Or use cute little mini muffin papers…I don’t have any.  I’m sure they were all glue-gunned together
to create an amazing princess dress for one of the 100 dolls we have kicking
around our house…. 

Bake.  Cool and DEVOUR!  DELISH!

Aunt

You’ll be famous for these and EVERYONE WILL HOUND YOU TO MAKE THEM!

Enjoy a themed dinner while you watch a fun movie. The menu goes a long with the movie and is served to you while you are watching the scene it relates to. We saw Holes (which we love!) but there are many others to choose from. Our menu had a fun drinks, appetizers, main course, sides, and dessert. I left satisfied and had a fun time with my hubby and our friends. 

Purchase tickets online. Seating is first come, first served so arrive early if you want a certain seat (though there isn’t a bad seat at all). Let me know if you try this!

Date night with my hubby @amctheatres to see @thes Date night with my hubby @amctheatres to see @thesheepdetectives … Fun, quirky movie, (kinda like Babe but really like no other movie I’ve seen before). Definitely full of kid vibes but adults will like it too. A who-dun-it mystery. We laughed out loud a lot more than we expected!

Are you wondering if the Thanksgiving Point Festiv Are you wondering if the Thanksgiving Point Festival is worth visiting this year? Here’s a look at what we saw today. 

We’ve had a lot of up and down weather so I wasn’t surprised to find a lot of the tulips already finishing up their season on April 23. BUT we still found quite a few areas with some big, beautiful blooms and it was a peaceful walk with less crowds. There were signs reminding us that more tulips were going to be blooming soon, so maybe wait a week or so if you want to see those new tulips. 

Thank you @utahstulipfestival for a fun visit! @thankspoint @theashtongardens #tulipfestival #utahtulipfestival #tulipseason #springinutah #traveltips
DO. NOT. MISS. THIS. Peter Pan Goes Wrong @halecen DO. NOT. MISS. THIS. Peter Pan Goes Wrong @halecentretheatre I laughed until I cried! 
We loved this one!! 

This is the sequel to The Play That Goes Wrong.  #peterpangoeswrong #halecentretheatre #thingstodoinutahwithkids #emptynesterlife #familyfriendly
Valentine’s Day with my man at the NEW Miller Fami Valentine’s Day with my man at the NEW Miller Family Beehive Stage @halecentretheatre . It’s was the perfect day to see a rom com and my hubby was a good sport to see a play called “Hallmarked” (NOT his favorite play so far). The play definitely lives up to its name—lots of predictable moments, plot holes, and cheesy lines. 🫤 But when it makes fun of itself, you will laugh and leave feeling lighthearted.
Leave your questions in the comments section if you want to more of my thoughts about this new play. #halecentertheater #thingstodoinutah #emptynesterlife #valentinesdaydate #familytravelideas
