Too Good Not to Share

Last week I posted a little about some cookies that I had baked - pumpkin spice blossoms - and how they were great the 1st day and then quite gooey the 2nd day. I found the remedy and I wanted to share this easy recipe. First you need to find the Limited Edition Pumpkin Spice Hershey Kisses. I found them at Target.

Pumpkin Spice Blossoms recipe courtesy of Picky Palate Go there and look at them - if my camera were working a little better I would have taken a picture myself. They are so yummy! But come back and read my notes below...

1 Spice Cake Mix 18.25oz
14 oz can Pumpkin
1/2 cup sanding sugar
1 bag Hershey's Pumpkin Spice Kisses

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Beat the cake mix and pumpkin until well combined. With a cookie scoop, scoop dough and roll in sanding sugar (dough is sticky) then place on parchment or silpat lined baking sheet. Bake for 11-13 minutes, or until cooked through. Quickly transfer to a cooling rack and immediately press kisses into the center of each cookie. Place the cooling rack into the refrigerator for about 15 minutes so the kisses don't melt.

About 36 cookies

My notes:
1. I used granulated sugar since I did not have sanding sugar on hand.
2. I did not use parchment or silpat, just an ungreased cookie sheet.
3. I baked them for 15 minutes.
4. I left the cooling rack in the refrigerator and the cookies are still delicious a day later! Last time I left them at room temperature and that's why they became all gooey.
5. I accidentally used a 15oz can of pumpkin which could also be why they were too gooey last time.

Yum, yum, yum! Now if I could just find a gluten-free spice cake mix so Kyle can have some too!

What's for Dinner?

Okay, so I made another "let's take a peek into the pantry and see what we have" meal last night. It turned out pretty good - even the leftovers I took for lunch today. I'm not really sure what to call it, but it's a twist on my friend Shelly's Cheeseburger Pie recipe but tweaked quite a bit.

Turkey and Wild Rice Cheeseburger Pie

1/2 lb Ground Turkey
Seasoned salt (I used Lawry's and Chicken Fajita seasoning)
1 T Allegro marinade
1 cup cooked long grain and wild rice (we had leftovers)
1/2 can of corn (drained)
1/2 small can of green chiles
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Season the turkey with seasoned salt and marinade and then brown in a skillet. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Remove turkey from heat and drain off excess grease. Add corn, green chiles and cheese and stir until cheese is melted. In a pie dish (I used a Pampered Chef round stone) layer the cooked rice and then top with the turkey mixture. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of cheese on top. Bake in oven for 10-15 minutes.

Serves 4
WW points: 5

The kids even ate some of it which is saying alot because they NEVER eat what I cook. Granted I bribed them with a popsicle, but at least they took a few bites!
