Autumn is my favourite season and I love walking outside with the cold breeze hitting my face and the colourful leaves everywhere I look. Maybe I like them so much because of the warm colours of the leaves or because I get to wear my winter clothes again. UBC is gorgeous during autumn, well...it is all year around but I think it's especially beautiful during autumn so if you live in Vancouver and have never been to UBC during autumn, please, please visit this year. I also love wearing cozy sweaters.. and pumpkin spiced latte so this season just makes me unusually happy.
This past Thanksgiving, I was debating on what to make for a potluck. I made apple dumplings for as long as I can remember but I didn't want to be known as the "Apple dumpling" girl (not that there is anything wrong with apple dumplings) so I decided to try something new. I have a list of recipes I saved from long time ago and I found two contenders: S'mores rice krispies and Twix cookie dough cheesecake bar. Seriously, this was one of the hardest decisions I had to make in a long time (I can be extremely indecisive when it comes to food:P). I was so close to picking s'mores rice krispies bar but I had a lot of travelling to do to get to the potluck and I didn't want the meringue/ marshmellow to melt. To avoid a disasterous situation, I picked the twix cookie dough cheesecake bar. Whoever created this recipe, they are a genius. How do you even think of putting twix, cookie, and cheesecake in one bar? Mind blown.
I cheated a little and got pre-made cookie doughs
