It's not what you think...I promise! Leona and I spent a fantastic day doing some decadent baking. What did we make you ask? Sweet Potato Whoopie Pies. The original recipe calls for pumpkin. However, after spending 20 minutes at Kroger looking for canned pumpkin I was soon informed there was an apparent shortage last season and I would be hardpressed to find it stocked ANYWHERE. So here I am in the "Great Pumpkin Famine of '09" wondering what in the world am I going to do with all of the pre-measured ingredients sitting on my kitchen counter. The Kroger employee that updated me on the pumpkin shortage suggested canned yams. There's pumpkin pie and there's sweet potatoe pie; it just might work. Here are some candid moments making whoopie pies!
