Frame: And The Winner Is…
October 7, 2010
NOT ME! But I have to admit, as soon as I saw what is now the winning entry in the Local In Season Recipe Contest- Pumpkin Whoopie Pies- I knew I was in trouble. It also didn’t help to receive about 40 emails this week stating “I voted for you, but I really wanted to vote for the whoopie pies.” Thanks, friends.
As I’ve said again and again, I’m not a baker, but I have to hand it to the winner, Kathy Pastisteas- this recipe looks pretty foolproof. Maybe I will try some out after I eat my Baked Fall Vegetables with Thyme and Gruyere. Which, by the way, are delicious.
Congratulations Kathy!

1 1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 tsp. ground ginger
1/2 tsp. salt
