Pumpkin Cranberry Oat Crumb Bar

cranberry crumble

This Pumpkin Cranberry Oat Crumb Bar can easily lift your spirits with the satisfying flavor of something sweet, spicy, and warmth. 

Ease of Making: Medium

The texture is hearty with the rolled oats, chopped walnuts, and aromatic pumpkin spice. This dessert combines the best flavors of fall with pumpkin puree, dried cranberries, and vanilla extract.

Homemade oat bars are a nutritious, customizable, and cost-effective snack option that offers convenience and a sustainable alternative to store-bought bars. They are a great way to satisfy your hunger, boost your energy, and support a healthy lifestyle.

Making oat bars at home allows you to customize the recipe to suit your taste and dietary preferences. You can experiment with different flavors, textures, and add-ins like chocolate chips, coconut flakes, or spices. Oat bars can also be tailored to accommodate dietary restrictions such as gluten-free, dairy-free, or vegan options.

Oat bars are often made with nutritious ingredients like oats, nuts, seeds, dried fruits, and natural sweeteners. Oats are rich in fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, making them a healthy choice for a snack. Store-bought granola bars or energy bars can be quite expensive, especially if you consume them regularly. Making oat bars at home is a cost-effective alternative.

Meal prep tips for Cranberry Crumb Oat Bar Desserts

  • Bring the butter to room temperature so that it is easier to cream together with the sugar
  • You can use either dried fruit or fresh cranberries with this recipe
  • Finely chop the walnuts so that they are easier to fold into the batter and no one gets a big chunk of walnut in their bite
  • Cool the crumb bar before trying to cut them
  • You can also freeze them and reheat them when you are ready to enjoy them

Creamy Cauliflower Mashed “Potatoes” with Roasted Pistachios

mashed cauliflower

This cauliflower mashed “potatoes” is so much creamier than you can ever imagine. It is filled with such great flavor and serves as a great low-carb alternative to your classic mashed potatoes.

Ease of Making: Easy

This would make a perfect side dish for any cold winter feast and will be a great addition to Thanksgiving entrees. 

If you’re looking for an easy side dish to prep for the holidays, try this dish. No need for peeling and cooks in less time than your classic mashed potatoes.

How to Cook Cauliflower Mashed “Potatoes”

  1. Start with steaming your cauliflower florets.
  2. Meanwhile, saute the garlic.
  3. After the cauliflower florets have gotten tender, add the garlic and florets into a blender.
  4. Season with salt and blend until smooth.
  5. Place the cauliflower in a heated pot and mix in the butter, sour cream, and parmesan cheese
  6. Top it off with fresh chives and roasted pistachios

Meal prep tips for Mashed Cauliflower

Does cauliflower really taste like mashed potatoes?

While the texture may be close, they will not exactly taste the same. Cauliflower will naturally be blander because of the water content. Try roasting the cauliflower instead of steaming for a firmer mash. Roasting it will also give it a sweeter and nuttier flavor. We also added the same herbs that we normally would add to mashed potatoes such as chives.

How to make mashed cauliflower creamy?

Mix in cheese, butter, sour cream, and milk to make it rich and smooth.

What can you eat with Mashed Cauliflower?

It is a great side dish to accompany any roasted or pan-fried protein such as tender roasted beef, pork chops, or roasted chicken.

How to Make Instant Pot Beef Ragu

Beef Ragu

Tender, melt in your mouth, shredded beef that is comfortingly satisfying for the cooler weather. Make this instant pot beef ragu recipe to warm the body and soul.

Ease of Making: Easy

Here’s a savory and rich beef ragu simmered in diced tomatoes, garlic, Italian seasonings, and fresh herbs that is perfect for the fall comfort meal. Enjoy it over a bed of pasta or mashed potatoes.

This is the perfect dish to batch cook for the colder weather. It is quick and easy to make but tastes like it’s been simmering all day long. Make it a weekly staple for your family dinners or bring it to holiday gatherings and make it the new family favorite.

How to Cook Beef Ragu in the Instant Pot

It’s easy to make a tender roast in the Instant Pot, all you need to do is follow a few simple steps:

  1. Turn on the Saute Setting and start browning your meat followed by adding the aromatics such as onions and garlic.
  2. Sprinkle in the seasonings.
  3. Add any liquid. In this recipe we used diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and dry red wine.
  4. Close the Instant Pot and seal it.
  5. Press the meat/stew setting and set your timer.
  6. After it finishes cooking, carefully release the quick release for the steam (following the manufacturer’s instructions).

Meal prep tips for Instant Pot Beef Ragu

How much meat can you cook at one time?

For a 6 quart size, you can fit 4-6 lbs of meat. However, you will need to take into consideration the other ingredients such as the cooking liquids and additional veggies. For this recipe, we kept it around 2 to 3 lbs.

Does the meat need to be completely covered in liquid?

You normally will need at least one cup of liquid. The protein itself already contains water that will sweat out, and there is additional moisture from the vegetables.

What can you serve with Beef Ragu?

We love to eat it with egg noodles, but you can also serve it with veggie noodles such as spiralized zucchini or spaghetti squash for a low-carb spin on this recipe. Creamy polenta is also a nice change from pasta or you can serve it on top of mashed potatoes or fluffy rice pilaf.

What to do with leftover beef ragu?

This Instant Pot beef ragu freezes really well and can keep up in the freezer for up to three months. However, you can also make sandwiches with the leftovers or add them as a topping to your baked potatoes.
