I thought I should introduce one of my kitchen partners in crime -- Claire. She's a great help in the kitchen and even got for Christmas from some of our friends an apron/towel/oven mitt set.
She was asking me for a couple of days last week if we could make a dessert. I didn't have much on hand to make anything special, but I knew I had a random can of pumpkin in the cupboard. This kid LOVES pumpkin things. So we settled for pumpkin muffins.
Betty Crocker's classic cookbook had a recipe for pumpkin bread, so I did a variation of that (minus the nuts and raisins of course -- kids!). Anyway, I just though I would share some photos of Claire from that night. I think she looks right at home in the kitchen.
