Lovely Spam, Wonderful Spam

Apparently, if I have more than two days off I will 1) Cook more and 2) Spam my flist with the results and/or whatever else is floating around in my brain at the time.

Today, I tried the Grain free pumpkin bars and they were AWESOME and way less calorie laden than the cinnamon biscuits were. Of course, they are so good I will have to freeze individual serving sizes to keep from eating them all.

In other news, what the HECK was up with that Downton Abbey finale? Well, now I know the real deal and I don't feel quite as manipulated (in a bad way). I realize there weren't too many alternatives given the circumstances but it still played out quite sucktacularly.

It was fun watching more of season seven with de23. Fave line from one of my favorite episodes, "Plucky Pennywhistle's Magical Menagerie" (Well one of them. How can you choose when there are so many good ones?)

Mmm...I'm still thinking about those peanut butter/chocolate chips cookies.

But what do you do when it only bleeds glitter? ;-)

I am SO going to have to make a batch of those pumpkin bars. Yummmm!

They are quite delicious and they froze well.

I'm experimenting more this weekend......

Thanks for that link. I found all SORTS of interesting recipes!

[gateslacker.livejournal.com]

It is a great link. I will definitely be exploring more as time goes on.

I don't know the real story behind why the actor who played Matthew on Downton decided to leave the show. I just know his 'death' was quite wrenching after watching everything that led up to Mary and Matthew finally being together and having a baby. So meh on the finale :( And if there is another ep after that one that I haven't seen then please no spoilers. According to my streaming source there is.

I don't think there is another episode. I think that was the finale but don't quote me.

I think the actor just decided he wanted to move on and his three year contract was up.

Those pumpkin bars are favorite of ours but I've not ever tried the maple pecan icing. Definitely will be adding that next time I make these. Thanks for the link to that site too. Her recipes will come in handy in this house.

They are truly great without the icing. I decided since calories are an issue that I'd try them without and, if they were good, not tempt myself with the maple pecan icing.

Yeah, I plan on exploring more as time goes on. I'll probably bore you all with the details. I'm not the biggest fan of cooking/baking so I may as well make a production out of it. LOL!!!!!!
