Yesterday I baked a couple of pumpkin loaves and tried to make pumpkin whoopie pies. Neither turned out the way I would have liked. I traded oil for applesauce just to try it in hopes of making a delicious low fat treat. Blech. No luck. I still have enough pumpkin puree to remake both, so I'm going for gold and remaking both with BUTTER. The whoopie pies call for shortening, but I think butter is richer and would make them taste better. I don't know why anyone would like to use solidified vegetable oil that's also loaded with other shit like mono and diglycerides. Ew. Butter is where it's at! Anyway, I already have the pie filling sitting in the fridge from yesterday so I'd may as well try to remake them anyhow. I'm also going to get a pastry bag so I can squeeze out pretty little dollops of dough rather than messy, giant globs. And the bread...I should have told Nate to take it work with him. Perhaps the ladies at his work would like it. I certainly don't. I'm glad I forgot to put the pumpkin seeds in otherwise it would have been a waste. Anyhoo, gotta go buy some butter, cream cheese and sugar so I can remake those loaves.

those sound really yummy, and butter is the way to go!
@Problematique120 - Actually, the whoopie pies aren't that bad once there's cream in the middle and I don't feel so guilt about eating them because I cut out the oil, lol. There is, of course, butter and cream cheese in the icing.
