Pumpkin Planting:
Students planted pumpkin plants yesterday at our property on Jewett Road. We will return in October to pick the pumpkins and have a Harvest Festival. Yesterday, the students had pumpkin chocolate chip muffins as a snack, and there were many requests for the recipe. Here it is:
Rachel’s Pumpkin Muffins
From the Café Beaujolais cookbook
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix together:
• 2 c. brown sugar
• 1 c. corn oil (I use ½ applesauce, ½ oil)

Sift together in a separate bowl:
• 3-1/2 c. flour
