Yummy, yummy, yummy

Here're some baked goods from the hands of my wife, Amy. She's a far better cooker of foods than she realizes and has taught me so much. I may be the 'adventurous' cooker of the two of us, but when it comes to the foods that comfort, she wins hands down. Her roasted chicken is the best I've ever tried and I could eat it every day for the rest of my life-- she does it two styles: with roasted root vegetables, or with a sage, white wine and lemon gravy and rice. With the left-overs we usually make pot pies or combine the chicken with gravy and peas and serve over rice. Hot dawg! I think I have a request for dinner tonite!

She made these individual pumpkin pies and pumpkin spice muffins the weekend before thanksgiving. They were as good as they looked-- the muffins came via a made-up-spur-of-the-moment recipe ("uhm, add flower and baking soda?) and were even better the next day.
