Pumpkin Sandwich Cookies

(Printable Recipe)

What says fall more then Pumpkin Sandwich cookies with a cinnamon vanilla Cream Cheese filling center?  I found this recipe (or a similar one) a few weeks ago and I took the plunge and made them in hopes that I would share them with my co-workers but then left them at home.  So they went to my roommates co-workers.  Later that day, I had Facebook messages expressing their delight in the cookies.  They are truly amazing little things.  The cream cheese filling between two pumpkin cake cookies makes for a joyful taste in your mouth.

DIY Starbucks Breakfast Sandwiches

I have a love/hate relationship with Starbucks.  I truly love about 80% of the things on their menu, from their coffees to their pastries to their breakfast sandwiches.  My issue?  I can't afford them.  I can't afford $4-$8 a day it would take to feed the habit it is to go there.  So I am reduced to DIY Starbucks.  Sometimes that means drinks but this time, it means breakfast sandwiches.  I love their low-fat turkey bacon english muffin. Not because its low-fat but because it got bacon, cheese and an english muffin.  I found a way to make my own version for about 1/3 of the cost.  My version isn't so low-fat but its still a hearty and good for you breakfast with all of its protein and fiber.

The great thing about doing it this way is that I can make 6 at a time just as easily as I can make 1 and reheat them as I want them.
