Hey! So, I'm making a vegan spinach artichoke dip, that I've made before, but am wondering if I can freeze it all mixed up together and ready to go in a crock pot for the day I need it.

I first made America's Test Kitchen's oatmeal snack cake over a year ago, and it was incredible -- such a quick little recipe, but so moist and delicious. I was recently pondering the numerous cans of pumpkin I still have in my pantry and decided a Pumpkin Oat Snack Cake should absolutely exist. Et Voila ( Read more... )
