The Baker & Chef

Most meals I make are born out of using up a leftover ingredient or some ingredient I prepped beforehand as a big batch. Earlier this week, we smoked a big batch of Smoked Kailua pork. I divide it up and store it in the freezer. The first meal was BBQ pulled pork sandwiches. Tonight’s meal is Pork tacos. What would you make with it next?

May the Fourth be with you! These Wookie Pies were inspired by 's Oatmeal Cream Pie recipe. I made some changes to the dough and filling since I didn't have dried apples or molasses. Now I'm watching Ewoks: Battle for Endor on .
How did you celebrate ?
