Pumpkin Spice Muffins
Batter Ingredients:
- Spice Cake Mix
- 1 can Pumpkin (I used canned pumpkin puree)
- 3 eggs
- 1/4 cup of water
Streusel Topping Recipe
- 1/2 cup of flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup butter
Instructions:
- We will begin by preparing the muffin batter. Mix all your ingredients together in a large mixing bowl. You can use a whisk, hand blender or stand mixer.
- Place muffin tins in the muffin pan, or evenly coat each socket with spray oil.
- Use a 1/4 measuring cup or ice cream scooper and fill the muffin tins until they are 3/4 of the way full. Be careful not to fill them up all the way or they will spill over.
- Prepare the streusel by mixing the flour and sugar together. Then cut in the butter.
- Place a couple of spoonfuls of streusel on each muffin.
- Bake at 350 for 15-18 minutes.
If you aren’t into the streusel you can always enjoy the muffins plain or you might try a cream cheese frosting or maple glaze. It might also be fun to throw a few chocolate chips into the batter.
Creating in the kitchen is so much fun! You can share your pictures of your apple crisp on griggs facebook page, or email them to me so that I can see your creation.

A Little Pick-Me-Up
What is the difference between praise and thankfulness? When we are thankful to God we are thanking Him for what he has done for us. He has given us food on our table, an education and friends and family. This is important to do! Praise gives credit to God for who he is! Look at the difference in this verse, "The trumpeters and musicians joined in unison to give praise and thanks to the LORD. Accompanied by trumpets, cymbals and other instruments, the singers raised their voices in praise to the LORD and sang: “He is good; his love endures forever.” This Thanksgiving let's give thanks to God for WHO he is and what he has done.

Craft/Science Project
Supplies:
- Puffy Fabric Paint
- Wax Paper
- Printed Template
Instructions:
- To make the template, I just found a leaf shape I liked, copy and pasted it a few times in a word doc, and printed it out. Lay a piece of wax paper over the template. If you don’t have wax paper, a plastic sandwich bag would also work!
- Using the puffy paint, I traced the outline of the leaf first then filled it in. I just used the tip of the puffy paint bottle to schmoosh the paint around, but I also found using a paint brush works pretty well if your little one has a hard time using the bottle to paint.
- Put the painted wax paper in a safe place to dry overnight.
- After the puffy paint has dried, the shapes can be pulled off the wax paper. I recommend this be done by an adult or older child. Depending on how large the shape is, it might need to be pulled off in sections or the paint starts to stretch out a little.
- And now the leaves are ready to be stuck to the windows! These are so simple to make and would be great for any season or holiday.
