Encase a salmon filet capped with cream cheese, feta, and spinach in puff pastry, and bake until golden. It makes a beautiful presentation and the salmon will be moist and succulent.

Simple Stovetop Amish Chicken

In my family, we call this simple stove top recipe for chicken Chicken Pot Pie. It is not very pie like, but a very classic German/Amish dish. This is one of my very favorites, I learned to make it with my mom when I was little, this will be the first time I wrote it down! I have had it before with carrots, which I do enjoy, but I prefer it best when it is very simple. This is a very inexpensive dish.

Vegan Lemon Scones with Chia

Vegan Lemon Scones with Chia

These scones are lower in fat than standard recipes, vegan, and super full of lemony flavor! The chia seeds give it a texture similar to poppy seeds and add lots of omega 3s. The added perk is that it's a foolproof recipe. I've made this without even measuring everything exactly and they still came out great. Try adding blueberries or doubling the amount of lemon zest!
