Oh how I love embroidery with strong colour and bold shape. I love fabrics and wall papers and I often think I should just take swatches that I love of both paper and fabric and frame them for display in my house. I don't have enough walls!

Seriously Good Pumpkin Muffins (sorry, I haven't started food photography yet)

5 cups all purpose flour

2 cups brown sugar

2 1/2 tsp cream of tartar

2 1/2 tsp baking soda

1 tbsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp cardamom

1/2 tsp salt

1 cup canola oil

1 cup pumpkin puree

2 cups water

2 cups mini chocolate chips

Combine the dry ingredients and the wet ingredients separately. Add the liquid to the dry and mix just until combined and no flour remains dry.

Scoop into 24 muffin tins. I like to use silicone muffin liners.

Bake for 25-30 minutes at 350 degrees.

This recipe makes great muffins but leaves left over pumpkin if you use a 14 oz can. I haven't tried to double recipe yet but I think it would work as long as you have a large enough bowl.
