Pumpkin Pie Martini

So no work for me today! Massachusetts got hit by Hurricane Sandy. Thankfully we haven't had it as bad as New Jersey or New York, so fingers crossed that we don't loose power!

This weekend we went to our friend's annual halloween party. My friend Sarah and I dressed up as price is right contestants. Sarah's boyfriend Dave dressed up as a model (haha) and my boyfriend dressed up as Bob Barker. It was a great time! While we were at the party Sarah introduced me to these delicious pumpkin pie martinis. They were just so good I had to share! It would be a perfect drink for any fall or holiday party.
Ingredients:
  •  Pumpkin Pie Cream liquor (I bought Fulton's Harvest)
  • Vanilla Vodka (I didn't have any on hand so I used fluffed vodka instead)
  • Rum Chata (A creamy rum)
  • Ice
 

Recipe:
  • In a shaker combine ice, 2 shots of vodka, 2 shots of rum chata, and 3 shots of Pumpkin Pie liqueur.
  • Serve in a martini glass rimmed with cinnamon
**Note: 1 shot is approx 1.5 oz of liquid**

Happy Halloween!!

Double Chocolate Pumpkin Muffin

Ok so I obviously have been MIA lately. I have so much going on right now with school and everything. I just passed in 40 plus pages of midterm papers today and I am not even done!! I asked the fabulous Lyndi from the journey... to fill in for me this week. Lyndi and I met through foodie pen pals and have stayed in contact ever since. Her blog is adorable. Check it out if you can! She has some very yummy recipes posted!! - Lauren

Hey y’all! I’m Lyndi from The Journey and I am thrilled to be a guest here today on Girls Gone Food! I’ve got a yummy fall recipe to share with you. Fall is officially here, and it is my very favorite time of the year! I love the changing of the trees, pumpkin flavored things, cooler weather, football, scarves, boots, and I could go on… I just love this time of the year! One of my favorite things about fall is pumpkin flavored treats. I love cooking with pumpkin this time of the year, especially when it comes to baking. This recipe I’ve used for a few years after hearing about it at a weight watchers meeting. I have tried it with different combinations, and this one is the best. (in my opinion) These chocolate muffins are a great guilt free treat, but they also make a great breakfast when paired with milk. However you enjoy them, they’re the perfect fall combination for the chocolate lover!  

ingredients.
·         1 box super moist chocolate cake mix
·         1 can pumpkin
·         ½ cup mini chocolate chips

directions.
1.       Combine cake mix, pumpkin and chocolate chips in mixing bowl.
2.       Stir together with electric mixer for 2-3 minutes until everything is mixed together.
3.       If using liners, place liners in muffin tin.
4.       Preheat oven to 350.
5.       Scoop about 1-2 tablespoons of mixture into each muffin tin hole.
6.       Bake for 18-20 minutes.
7.       Let cool, and ENJOY!

*makes 12-24 muffins depending on how full you fill the muffin tin holes.
