We are starting a new blog series called Real Life at the Jacobs' - just to give a little insight into what's going on in our lives: what we are doing, what matters to us, and our adventures! This week, in honor of all things October, I wanted to show off these mini pumpkin spice muffins I've been making once a week for the last 3 weeks! These ones, I added some mini chocolate chips for a little pizzazz.

I've been using a basic pumpkin spice muffin recipe from Lovely Little Kitchen. I substituted Namaste perfect gluten free flour blend and a little flax meal in place of the all purpose flour and since I did not have brown sugar, I just added a little molasses. 

I like to use these silicon mini muffin molds I got a few years ago from DeMarle - they bake so evenly and pop so easily!

Most people who know us know that we have two very different, but adorable dogs:

• Phoebe, the Papillon, I have had since she was a puppy and she is now 8 years old. She just wanted to take a nap this afternoon

​

• Ted, the blond German Shorthaired Pointer. He is a rambunctious 3 year old dog that we just obtained last Spring. If you are in the kitchen, he wants to know what you are up to!

Also, little known fact about us - we love acoustic cover songs! I'm just going to leave this here for ya'll to enjoy :)
