This week is devoted to preparing for our JAM* Session in Lake County, OH.(*Jumpstarting an All-inclusive Ministry) I’ve been busy preparing kits for the make-it-and-take-it portion of the day. Pastor Carrie Garland, who is hosting the event at her church told me that we have 44 people registered thus far. We’re so excited to see what God has planned for all of the children and families these folks will reach!

There is still room in this class if you’d like to join us~ Email me for more information! Remember, the class is FREE (The church is providing lunch and breakfast for a small fee, or you may brown-bag it.)

As you can see, my dining room is pretty cluttered with the makings of the JAM Session.Things are better in the kitchen, where I baked a little treat on this chilly afternoon…

Want to try these with your family? Here’s the recipe:

Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Muffins
1 cup flour
1 cup sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt (plus a pinch more)
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon (I use a rounded 1/4 tsp for a little extra spice!)
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup ground pumpkin (canned)
1/2 cup cooking oil
1/3 cup chocolate chips (I used waaaaay more. Because that is who I am. Also, I used the mini-chocolate chips, because they were left over from Christmas baking.)

Mix together. Fill muffin cups and bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes
-Recipe from beckyhiggins.com, but slightly modified.

Enjoy!
