Pumpkin Whoopie Pies

September 24, 2012

One of our favorite things to add to a dessert, besides peanut butter, is pumpkin. It does not even have to be fall for me to eat a good pumpkin pie. A classic American treat, the Whoopie Pie, otherwise known as a “black-and-white,” got its start as being a delicious treat in lunch pails. Wives of farmers would bake these treats once in a while for their husbands and pack…

Homemade BBQ Sauce

August 29, 2012

Hello! My name’s Ashley and I’m a friend (and now guest blogger!) on Lilies and Loafers. We like to do lots of things together like run in the Color Run, drinks lots and lots of Marquis-ritas, and share recipes.
