What better excuse to continue my pumpkin theme than my mom's birthday? To celebrate on Saturday, I made her pumpkin cupcakes with maple-cream cheese frosting, recipe via
Smitten Kitchen (p.s.- I made SK's
winter panzanella as well and it was delicious - first time ever having brussel sprouts!). I added more cinnamon and more pumpkin puree than was called for and they were deliciously perfect.

{the frosting tasted good, but if you want it to look more like the gorgeous
pictures on SK, don't use margarine and fat free cream cheese -oops!}
