It’s Hanukkah time, and you know what that means: latkes. Lots and lots of latkes. I’ve discovered that when it comes to latkes, there are two kinds of people in this world: sour cream people and applesauce people. Although I’ve sometimes found myself in the center of this latke-venn diagram, dolloping both sour cream and applesauce onto my potato pancakes (I know, I’m such a rebel). I’d argue, however, for the existence of a third distinct type of latke-consumer, one that could potentially unify the rest of the world because it’s so gosh darn delicious: pear compote....

We’ve reached the end of our lime green saga. I hope you’ve enjoyed it, and haven’t been too blinded in the process. Unless, of course, you’ve been blinded by desire to abandon the keyboard and go bake, immediately. Then that’s ok. And this final recipe would be (practically) instant satisfaction. In under 20 minutes you’d be enjoying a bit of sweet and salty, crispy and crunchy goodness. I have to say, there are very few people who’d turn down a good rice krispie treat (and to those people, well, I don’t have anything to say to you)....

These were another tasty treat. You will never look at a frozen pot pie the same again after eating a freshly made one! I only had one pre-made pie crust leftover (in my attempt to circumvent my pie crust ineptitude I used one, and it shrunk so much while blind baking it that I had to throw it away and make my own. So much for pre-made being easier!). Anyways, I only had one, and we didn’t want to have to deal with leftovers of leftovers....
