It's been a long time coming...

I have had this done for months now and haven't had it decorated the way I would like so I haven't posted my finished product but I guess this will have to do.

So here's what I started with.

 

And ended up with this.

You can see that I changed the hardware to an aged silver.

Glazed this piece.

I used Rustoleum's heirloom white, a dark-tinted glaze from Valspar, and Rub n' Buff's silver leaf wax. This piece took longer than it needed to just because of me taking my time.

Pumpkin Oatmeal Muffins (Recipe Review)

I went to the store and found a great deal on some canned pumpkin.  Pumpkin is great for you and with a little tweaking is great to eat in so many dishes.  I was excited so I bought two.  Imagine my surprise when I noticed that I really bought Pumpkin Pie Mix.  It already has the sugar and spices mixed right in.  Not quite what I was looking for.  I did the only thing I could think to do and searched for a recipe to use this in. 

I found a great site full of fun things. .  Carrots n Cake is the site I landed on and THIS is the recipe I followed.  I am looking forward to diving deeper in this site and finding other gems to try.

Here is her recipe-

1 C flour
1 C oats

1/2 C packed brown sugar

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1 1/4 C canned pumpkin
1 egg

1 tbsp canola oil

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/4 C rasins

1/4 C walnuts

375 degrees for 18-20 min.

Changes I made.  I used olive oil instead of canola oil since I had that.  I used pumpkin pie mix that has added sugar.  I used 1/2 C chocolate chips instead of the rasins and nuts because thats what I had and it just sounded good. I also made 12 muffins instead of 9.

We each ate one then put the rest in the freezer in sandwich bags tied off to keep the air out.  I put one in the Hubbs lunch each morning for a week and he loved them.  By lunch time they were soft enough to eat but still cool enough to be a nice summer treat.  This is a recipe we will make again and again.
