Mmmm this might be my new favorite pumpkin muffin recipe! They came out sooo delicious, very soft and moist (this is one of my most hated words… along with chunks and flesh. yick!!! what words gross you out?)

    Yay O-Chem! I loved Organic. Weird, I know. I hate the word succulent. It grosses me out.

    Yep, the word "chunks" grosses me out too! Now that you mention it, so does flesh. Another one that comes to mind is "nugget". I don't want to say why, but nugget grosses me out totally!
