baking

Hmmmmm....why is Hungry lurking about?



There must be baked goods around.

Indeed. I made some oatmeal whoopie pies with a maple bacon filling.


The recipe is from this book:


Which was a birthday present from my folks. It was the first non-vegetarian dessert that I have made. The bacon blended well with the other parts but didn't add all that much, so I ended up making most of them sans bacon for the sake of any vegetarians at the event I took them to.


I also made pumpkin whoopie pies with cream cheese filling, recipe via King Arthur. I added mini chocolate chips to some; they were good either way.



I also bought a pomegranate a while back, and lacking a better vision for what to do with it, made some chocolate and pomegranate cookies.



They were fine out of the oven, but by the next day were mushy and meh tasting. I put them out in the main office at work and pretended that I didn't make them, so as to not damage my baking reputation. Some people liked them, but I didn't think that the end product was worth the hassle of picking out all those arils out.
