GO TIGERS!!!

Nothings screams fall like football, crisp, cool nights, and PUMPKIN everything.  So to get in the fall spirit we headed to the Republic Tigers football game to go cheer on our home town boys.  We did not go emptied handed of course! I was armed with my paleo chocolate chip cookies and hot chocolate and my friend April brought the most amazing paleo pumpkin muffins.  It was an instant love connection with the first bite of that muffin.  So I had to share this recipe with you all to help get you in the fall spirit.
