You know what sucks? This daylight savings ish. I was just getting comfortable to having a good amount of sunlight when I got off work at 6PM that I never worried about taking pictures of my food. I can always make dinner and still have plenty of time to get that golden picture.
Now, by the time 6PM rolls around, it’s pitch dark outside. I’m talking, bring my mace out, pay attention to my surroundings, be careful of people walking around you, dark. Not only do I not have any time for food blog pictures, I now have to think twice about walking around outside by myself.
I’ve always taken my pictures by natural light for my food blog, so now it’ll be a lot harder (if not impossible) to take pictures of the dinners that I make. Or, I guess I can just make my DB eat dinner at 4PM. That’s normal, right?
Oh, the things I do for the sake of blogging.
We’re at day four of my week of pumpkin recipes. Are you starting to get tired of them yet? This one’s an absolute winner. Extremely moist, unlike my last recipe, and the cinnamon sugar topping puts it over the top. It’s simple, yet pleasing. Recipe from Cilantropist.
Ingredients
- 1 cup canned solid-pack pumpkin
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger (optional)
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon (optional)
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- About 1 tbsp turbinado sugar for sprinkling on top (optional)
- About 1/2 tsp extra cinnamon for sprinkling on top (optional)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line muffin cups.
- In your mixer, mix together the pumpkin sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, all spices, baking soda, and salt. Whisk in flour until just smooth.
- Pour the batter into lined muffin cups just over 3/4 of the way full. Sprinkle the top with turbinado sugar and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean.

I agree! I never know when to take pictures anymore and i leave as the sun is rising so there is never any good time to take pictures! So I try to take some on the weekends if I can.
