I Love Pizza!!!

I love pizza.  I hate to admit it but it's the truth.  However, making my own crust from scratch can be hard since I work full time.  While walking through my local grocery store I found Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Pizza Crust mix.  I figured I'd give it a shot.
I added some Quattro Fromaggio from Trader Joe's and some Sicilian chicken sausage and Crimini mushrooms and, VOILA!
OMG!!!  This was totally delicious!  I highly recommend the crust mix.

Gluten Free Pumpkin Muffins

I apologize; when school starts my teaching life tends to take over.  But I managed to make pumpkin muffins.  It's pumpkin time...I LOVE PUMPKIN ANYTHING!  So here's a recipe that I found a while back.  Unfortunately I can't remember where because I didn't bookmark it.  But here it is...Enjoy!
Pumpkin Muffins

2 large eggs, at room temperature
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
1/3 cup maple syrup or honey
1/4 cup butter, melted

1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp ginger
1/4 cup walnuts, pecans, or chocolate chips*

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
In a large bowl, mix all wet ingredients.
In a separate, mix all dry ingredients.
Add dry ingredients to the wet and mix till well combined and there are no lumps.
Add your * ingredients.  Pour into prepared muffin tin (I use silicone cups) to 2/3 full.  Smooth the tops.
