Recipe: Carrot Cake Power Bites — Snack Recipes from The Kitchn
These snacks are vegan, require no baking, and come together quickly in the food processor — but best of all, they taste like carrot cake! They’re also made from whole ingredients (with just a teeny tiny drizzle of sugary icing on top), so even though they taste like a dessert, they have enough fiber, protein and fat to keep you ticking right thorough the afternoon doldrums.
squash toasts with ricotta and cider vinegar
Lest you operate under the idea that when I go in the kitchen to work on a new recipe, adorable forest creatures gather around, bringing me my whisks and measuring cups, tiny birds whisper in my ear all the right seasoning notes and then, when I snap my last photo, my team of minions file silently in to wash the dishes while I go out on the deck to ponder my next free-form food essay, the single, completely unexciting reason I am late to share a new recipe this week is because I was chasing an exasperating salted peanut butter caramel-flavored ghost. Five rounds in, I have concluded that while there are no bad salted peanut butter caramels, the one I want isn’t yet within my grasp and it was time to take a break. One cannot live on peanut butter, cream, butter and brown sugar alone, after all, fun as it was for a few days there.
And so I shifted focus to the kind of simple dinner I’d love to eat before or after Friday’s candy deluge, a seasonal, cozy and hearty entry in one of my favorite food categories: meals masquerading as toasts. But don’t be deceived by the name; these are no simple, wan crostini. A winter squash of your choice is roasted in the oven while on the stove, you cook an onion with cider vinegar and maple syrup until it’s soft and jammy. You use a fork to half-mash this tangy confit together with the roasted squash, a pile it on bread you’ve toasted in olive oil and spread with ricotta or soft goat cheese. Don’t forget the mint on top; it makes something already good unquestionably perfect.

For meat that quite literally falls apart under your fork and melts in your mouth, there’s no better cooking method than braising. But meaty cuts of beef, lamb, and pork don’t get all the braising love — we can also make fantastic, flavorful braises with fish, chicken, and vegetables all by themselves.
What is a braise, exactly? How is it different from a roast or a soup? That’s the topic of today’s lesson, and by the end of it, you’ll be more than ready to try one for yourself.
