Day 1. Pumpkin streusel muffins

Today is day 1 of my 100 recipes in 100 days.  I have decided to go with a nice Pumpkin streusel muffin from this website right here: http://www.pumpkinnook.com/cookbook/pumpkinmuffin_02.htm I am going to have to thank my friend Patty for showing me this recipe. It was very easy to put together and easy to read instructions so no confusion on what you should be doing. My favorite part about this recipe was the topping. Walnuts,butter,and cinnamon can't get much tastier than that. The smell that they omit whilst cooking is amazing and it fills up your entire house. The muffins rise beautifully also. The topping makes it look like a professional muffin at best.

The muffins are nice and moist and the cream cheese compliments the pumpkin flavors very well. They're not overly sweet and if you make them for your little ones they will be sure to be begging for more.

Now here are some photos that I took to document the baking process.

These muffins were really easy to make and very VERY delicious. I would definitely recommend this recipe to anyone that is a lover of muffins.

Until next time!

The start of my new FOOD blog

Hello my name is Meaghan I am 22 years old and I will be using this blog to chronicle my journey of cooking 100 recipes in 100 days. These recipes will range from very basic items to advanced recipes that I have never done before. I am in no way shape or form a professional cook and have not even gone to school for cooking but this will definitely help me see if it's something that I truly want to pursue.

I love the look on people's faces after they try something that I have made. It's the best feeling ever and I'm excited to share this will all of my fellow foodies. I am going to put my heart and soul into this and I will be happy to have finally accomplished something I didn't think that I would ever be able to do. I will tell you all about my triumphs and disappointments and I am hoping that I have more triumphs than defeats. I will also be including pictures too so it shall be exciting for all of us.

I don't think that I will be using a specific website or cook book for my recipes but I will include links when I do use websites. Most of the recipes will either be from epicurious.com or allrecipes.com great websites and I have made great things off of both. It seems like epicurious is more for the advanced cooks. I am ready to challenge myself and learn new things. I hope you all will enjoy this wonderful food adventure with me.

Well until next time!
