Something other than cookie! It’s November, so I am in the middle of baking all my cookies for the annual Cookie Madness, but decided that I wanted to make something different this week to snack on. So I made Rice Krispies Squares. Only I added cinnamon and cinnamon chips. Ooh, and these have a trick for staying softer for longer: I added condensed milk. Great flavor. Nice snack.

My mom often asks me to make a “German” apple pie. Well, as the expression goes, that ain’t as easy as apple pie! Just like “American” apple pie has about a million variations, so does any other regional variation. What I think my mom means is this custard pie, which is one variation. It’s lovely. Not too sweet, creamy and lush. I used pink lady apples, which hold their shape and stay crisp throughout baking. Quite lovely.
Happy Thanksgiving to my Canadian Friends! And on this occasion of Canadian Thanksgiving, I decided to make something decidedly Canadian: Butter Tarts! Turns out, they are crazy easy to make. I happen to have little tart pans, but you can also make them in a muffin pan. Light, flaky, crazy buttery (go figure, eh?) and delicious. I can see where these could become part of the regular snack rotation around here!
A few weeks ago, I made these really yummy Vanilla/Chocolate Wafer Disk Cookies In my overly ambitious thought at the time, I was actually going to make these Chocolate/Vanilla (ie the reverse) Wafer Disk Cookies at the time too, but sometimes time gets away from me. Instead, I made them today and they are ever bit as delicious as the mirror image ones!
