The Serving Counter

Levi spent winter break making concrete counter tops and putting in new lighting over the serving counter. This is where we always serve the food, buffet style. It is in the middle of the house. A handy pass-through between the dining room and kitchen, but it does not get enough natural light.

I thought I should let you know that Pumpkin Chip Muffins from the family cookbook are a fall/winter staple in our household. Easy to whip up and delicious with a dollop of cream cheese frosting.

Pumpkin Chip Muffins

4 eggs

2 c. sugar

1 (15 oz.) can pumpkin

1 1/2 c. oil

1 1/2 c. flour

2 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. cinnamon

1 tsp. salt

2c. chocolate chips

Mix first 4 ingredients. Add next 5 ingredients. Mix well and fold in chips. Bake in lined or greased muffin tins at 400 degrees fro 15-18 minutes.

  5. what a cool space.. and so pretty

  6. So….the reality is, if we do not have a husband, who is in the industry, we are not likely to get a good, concrete, countertop? Be honest.

  7. Nice job . . . your home looks so cozy :O)

  8. I have all the same glassware and dishes. Nice photos, as always, Jen. Love the plump, little heart muffins!

  9. I’m preparing to make these muffins and want to make sure there is no vegetable oil or butter….it’s not that I don’t trust you. But, since I don’t REALLY know you, it seems okay to ask. 🙂

  10. I convinced Agatha to make these muffins for me and they were scrumptuous. I ate eleventeen, and I’m not even a fan of pumpkin. Thank you!
