I luurve pumpkin in baking. It has one of those transformative textures like banana that makes anything moist, soft, and yummy. I have an awesome pumpkin recipe from my American sister-in-law that’s full of festive spices, but it’s very easy to roast some and pop it in a muffin.
It’s a muffin so I can put butter on it, right?
So I umm-ed and ahh-ed and generally drove my loved ones crazy trying to find The Perfect Venue for the Berries’ birthday. A spot that was pretty, with parking, that we could reserve, etc etc. And then it rained, biblically, and everyone squeezed into the not-so-big-when-it’s-full-of-kids-big-new-house.

But, it’s (basically, almost) finished and it adds a whole “outdoor room” (thanks Jamie Durie) to our home. We’re focussing on the enjoyment […]
So, extremely late, here’s some shots from lunch last Sunday. There’s a tree dropping absolutely stunning autumn leaves just on our corner. The Berry and I spent a late afternoon picking the “pretty leaves”, a relative term for the two of us. The little macrame vase holders were inspired by/nicked from this gorgeous wedding. Might […]

These photos are beautiful. Will you be posting the recipe? I have a pumpkin muffin recipe on my blog but it’s very basic and targeted at fussy toddlers.
Hi Roar Sweetly, click on the ‘muffin’ link for my basic Stephanie Alexander muffin recipe. I added about 3/4 cup of roast pumpkin and I substituted the caster sugar for brown sugar ’cause that’s all I had! I saw your savoury muffin recipe, looked pretty good and abut the same as mine… Happy baking!
