Ben loathes pumpkin flavored desserts (I’ll never understand it) but the first time I made these I caught him popping multi whoopie pies when he thought I wasn’t looking…busted! Hope you enjoy too!

Hey Kristin!
First of all, I vote for you everyday – I think all of your recipes look amazing! Second, I made your whoopie pie recipe for my family’s Thanksgiving celebration and they were a HUGE hit! Everyone was a newcomer to whoopie pies, but my family is toootally converted. They were moist, dense, and perfectly spiced – thanks for sharing the recipe!
Lots of luck in the contest girlie!

Those onions look amazing (coming from someone who drinks 18-year old balsamic vinegar straight)!

I finally made your caramelized onions tonight. They took a long time to cook (maybe 45 minutes) BUT they were delish in a blue cheese (low-fat laughing cow blue cheese) caramelized onion frittata with a balsamic reduction. Yum! I cannot live without my mini-chocolate candy bars from Trader Joe’s. They are bigger than a “fun size” chocolate bar and give me the after-lunch sweet fix that I crave!

My vote has been cast! Hope you win – and by the way, what do YOU win? I hope it’s something cool, love reading your blog!! Keep it up – you’ve definitely inspired me to try a few new things. My husband loved the Maid-Rites. He knew exactly what they were…it was my first time having them.

I can’t live without bread. I really can’t. Close second…peanut butter :)
