There is only so much time in one day. As a mom, this time becomes even more scarce. There are chores to do, kids to cart around, a Lord to get to know, and dinners to plan. Why not choose to live each moment instead of worrying about the next?

My all time favorite muffins

Here is the recipe for what I think are the best muffins for this time of year.  They are not like other high fiber-high nutrient muffins.  They are moist and sweet, although not as sweet as a blueberry muffin from a bakery.  Just right!

1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup wheat germ
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp each ground ginger, nutmeg, cloves (all optional)
** Mix above together and make a well.**

2 1/2 cups pumpkin or other winter squash, cooked and pureed
4 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup oil
1/2 cup chopped nuts (I like pecans or walnuts in these)
**Add into the will and mix until all of the dry ingredients are moistened.  Spoon batter into 24 muffin tins.  Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees, 25-35 minutes. Cool in pan 5 minutes, then remove to wire rack to cool completely.**

Can be bakes into two loaves.  Increase baking time to 50 min.
