They're also made from whole ingredients (with just a teeny tiny drizzle of sugary icing on top), so even though they taste like dessert, they have enough fiber, protein, and fat to keep you ticking right through the afternoon doldrums. My husband, my parents, and four of my most discerning food writer friends all gave these little snack bites an enthusiastic thumbs up.

Cumin-Roasted Carrots with Wild Rice and Chickpeas — Recipes from The Kitchn

Pumpkin, sweet potato, and butternut squash feature big, but I always urge people to look towards the vegetables that can sometimes end up as second players in the show. Carrots are delightful as a mealtime star and I have a favorite technique that makes these carrots perfectly tender without going too soft. During the cooler months when I actually feel like turning on my oven, I often braise vegetables in a covered dish in the oven, and then uncover them to finish roasting. This technique makes the vegetables tender, especially the carrots, but far from mushy (because I really dislike mushy vegetables).

Set Up and Get to Know Your New Windows PC

It seems like when I install my OS it doesn't have all that bloatware and feels much more fresher than the day I first used it.
