New year, new planner! (and an update)

Rosh Hashanah is on its way (less than two weeks now!) and I’m getting myself into a routine now that the move is (kinda) done. The move? I haven’t posted about it, but we moved again – new country, continent, hemisphere even. In fact, what I always think of as the fall holidays (e.g. Rosh …

Caramel Apple Snickerdoodles (non-dairy)

I had some apples that were going bad – bruises and wrinkling skin. My kids, normally voracious apple eaters, wouldn’t touch them. So I made a crumble, and then I searched for something else. This recipe caught my eye because it had apples and because the fat in it is melted – it’s so easy …
