Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins

After after nine years of marriage, our fifth move, and being unemployed at the moment; I am taking the time to try out some recipe’s that I have been tearing out of magazines. My ideal recipes have always included anything available in the freezer section, deli case, or a ready made box (i.e. pre-mixed). It was even better if it would go in the microwave. So here is my log of the recipe’s I try, how easy they are to fix, and what my husband or guests responses to them are.
