These Lemon Poppyseed Scones by Kristen Genton are everything you could ever want in a scone. The flavor is light for spring/summer and they look oh so pretty. Leaving scones in a circle shape is great because it’s 1) less work to form them and 2) they have more nooks and cranny’s for the glaze! Try them out — and then try not to eat them all at once.

2. Chai Spiced Snickerdoodles

Inspired by Carnival Horror Amusement parks, carnivals, circuses, freak shows—there are plenty of horror shows and movies that incorporate these themes, including It, The Lost Boys, American Horror Story: Freak Show, Killer Klowns from Outer Space, Child’s Play 3, and Us. This Sriracha Maple Funnel Cake Sandwich by Zach Neil was inspired by a favorite fair food: the funnel cake. It’s fried, greasy, salty, and sweet!

These vegan blondies are so moist and decadent it’s hard to believe they have sweet potatoes in it! These Moist and Decadent Sweet Potato Blondies by Christa Clark are shockingly scrumptious and almost fudge-like. A vegan blondie made with delicious, unique ingredients––it is hard not to go back for more. The ingredients and flavors couldn’t be more timely for the winter. If you can share… it would be a great treat for all to enjoy! But, these vegan blondies are a dessert you might want to keep for yourself!

Inspired by Carrie No one’s going to laugh at you after they taste this Flesh and Blood by Zach Neil, a twist on the classic combo of grilled cheese and tomato soup. The tomato soup is made using an Instant Pot for an extra rich flavor.

8. Cauliflower Tikka Masala

This Cauliflower Tikka Masala by Priya Lakshminarayan is a vegan take on the always popular chicken tikka masala and uses cauliflower instead of chicken. Using red, yellow, or orange bell pepper rather than green gives the dish the desired color. Serve this lovely recipe with flatbread or rice to soak up the deliciously rich and creamy sauce.   Excerpt from The Essential Vegan Indian Cookbook by Priya Lakshminarayan, published by Rockridge Press.

10. Veggie Skillet Pot Pie

This Veggie Skillet Pot Pie by Bri Beaudoin is the ultimate comfort food. It’s a stick-to-your-ribs meal that won’t leave you needing to take a nap afterwards. The base is made with potatoes, carrots, mushrooms, and green peas coated in a delicious gravy. We even sneak some beans in for extra protein. Everything gets topped with a shatteringly crisp golden-brown pastry. Store-bought puff pastry saves the work of fussing around with a traditional crust. Better yet, this entire dish comes together in a single pan, which can also be brought directly to the table.
