Blueberry scones
My mom’s English scone recipe: flaky, crumbly, buttery, and bursting with berries.
(By the way, it’s pronounced “scon”—rhymes with on, not cone.)
Homemade lasagna
Chocolate crazy cake (vegan and no weird ingredients!)
This cake is delicious (not just “good for a vegan cake”), super easy to make, uses ingredients you probably already have, and is suitable for all your vegan and milk/egg/butter-allergic friends.
Lightened-up chicken chili
Carrot & ginger soup
Viennese square

The perfect lemon cheesecake
This recipe never fails to get rave reviews.
