Welcome! What is breathe?

REIMAGINE YOUR HOME

What parts of your home give you the greatest sense of peace?

And…How can your home be a haven of peace for others?

CREATE

An area to dwell with others. Make it cozy. A fall pillow and throw, a scented candle, a place to set coffee, tea or water,

GET READY

Make and freeze pumpkin muffins! Warm them up and serve with some cider or fall flavored coffee!

PUMPKIN MUFFINS-Almost Like Starbucks-From Reimagine Home by Sarabeth Galimba

Makes 2 dozen muffins

2 cups pure pumpkin puree-canned or fresh

3 cups granulated sugar

1 cup canola or vegetable oil

4 large eggs

3 1/2 cups all purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking soda

2 teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon and 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a muffin tin with muffin cups or spray pan with nonstick spray.

In a large mixing bowl mix the pumpkin, oil, sugar, 2/3 cup water and eggs until well combined.

In a medium mixing bowl combine the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Whisk until well combined.

Gradually pour the flour mixture into pumpkin mixture and stir well to combine.

Pour the batter evenly into the muffin cups. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Allow to cool on a wire rack.

Enjoy!

Breathe is excited to announce that we will once again be donating to Rahab starting in September. Rahab ministries provides Christ-centered transformational services to those directly affected by sex-trafficking in Northeast Ohio.
