1 Bowl Vegan Apple Cake

We are taking a quick detour from all of the pumpkin recipes I’ve been posting lately to celebrate apples. While I’m sad to see Summer go, Fall and Winter foods are my absolute favorite. Comfort foods like soups and potatoes are the best, as well as Fall flavored desserts like this Apple Cake. This Vegan Apple Cake is like no other cake I’ve had. It is almost more apples than cake and it’s very rich!...

5 Minute Homemade Salsa

I’m not sure how in the world it got to be May, but here we are. Granted, March and April were supremely weird this year, with the stay at home orders, so it seems natural to be confused by time right now more so than usual. We’ve got the rest of “school” to finish up this month, my daughter will be turning 9 and our sweet Dixie dog, a chocolate lab, will be 11 at the end of the month....

5 More Homemade Baby Food Pouches

So, I made ALL of the homemade baby food for both my kids. Never bought a single jar. Now there’s absolutely nothing wrong with some store-bought help – and you know I don’t judge for taking shortcuts; we parents have enough on our plates – but that was kinda my thing and I’m nothing if not stubborn. And maybe a little controlling. So when they made the transition to finger foods, I didn’t want to throw out all of that baby food I worked so hard on!...

50 Vegan Recipes Using Pantry Staples

What are pantry staples? Pantry staples are simply foods/ingredients that you use often, usually stored in a pantry or cupboard. Think beans, rice, flour, oats, canned tomatoes, spices, peanut butter, etc. It’s a great idea to keep some extra around for times when budgets are tight and you can whip up a quick meal. To be clear, I’m not suggesting you stock up on food for months, especially right now when people are panicking and stores are running out of food....

Air Fried Butternut Squash

Ingredients and Equipment Needed Air Fryer – I love cooking this recipe in the air fryer (this is my favorite air fryer), especially for a small amount, but you could easily roast these in the oven at 425 on a parchment-lined baking sheet until golden brown as well. Butternut Squash – You can chop up a fresh squash from the produce section (or your garden!) or use pre-chopped bagged squash like I’m doing here for an easy shortcut....

Apple Pie Filling For Canning Or Freezing

You’re going to ask me for those labels, aren’t you? I’ll get on that. One day. Before Christmas. Maybe. *A note about thickeners: I spent a better part of a Wednesday pulling my hair out and cursing driving around town in search of, and making phone call after phone call trying to get information about thickeners! A huge thanks to my friend/canning mentor Britanie for helping me figure out what the heck to use; I must have texted her 47 times this week....

Blackberry Peach Crisp

Most of the recipes we post here on Our Best Bites feed quite a crew, but we get lots of requests for things scaled down for couples, families with just one or two little kids, or singles, who don’t really need a 9×13 pan of everything. When it comes to fresh fruit, sometimes you don’t have a whole bushel laying around so I sometimes like to make mini-recipes. This particular day I had a couple of ripe peaches sitting on my counter so I just wanted to make a little something for me and the only kiddo who was at home with me at the time....

Brazilian Pudim Brazilian Caramel Flan Recipe

How to Caramelize Sugar The first step in this recipe is to caramelize some sugar. I mix a little water into regular granulated sugar to make it easier. This part is seriously so simple- just simmer until it turns a golden caramel color. To be honest, this caramel in my photo is a tad bit overcooked- I’d take it off the heat when it’s a little lighter than this or your sugar can have a bitter burned taste....
