Pumpkin Whoopie Pies

This holiday season, we are excited  to share a recipe from IRHS Culinary Arts teacher , Chef Gowan. In previous years, we’ve shared some of Chef Gowen’s favorite recipes,  including her delicious Pumpkin Roll for the fall season, which is an IQ staff favorite.  Baking can be a meaningful way  to enjoy time with friends and family, or even a relaxing way to spend time on your own. We hope you give this a try, and enjoy holidays with these recipes.
