Sometimes when I don't know what to cook I try to visualize as many of the ingredients I have on hand as I can, let them swirl together in my head with recipes, and see what comes out.
Today, I am happy to say, it was pumpkin and goat cheese hand pies from here, which I had bookmarked after seeing here. I know it isn't fall, but if I had all the ingredients (and it was cold, wet, and 50 degrees) does it matter? Halfway through preparing them I realized how well they would fulfill their purpose--as a potluck dish for a golden birthday.
It was a little unclear how the dough would fit around the filling, and indeed this proved too much to ask from some of the little guys.
They didn't spill out in the oven, though, and I like the look--the opening offers a little peek at what's inside and lends some personality.
My only deviation from the original recipe was to use sour cream instead of cream or yogurt in the dough (and more of it). I used up the last of my frozen pumpkin from last fall and fresh sage growing out and about. Just in case you didn't figure this out already, they are DELICIOUS.
