Who needs bread when you can get your carb fix wit

Who needs bread when you can get your carb fix with a batch of GLAZED LEMON BLUEBERRY SCONES? Think light, tender and flakey with a drizzle of sweet lemon glaze. Plus, you can make this with frozen blueberries. It's official... scones > bread. ⁠
⁠
What do you guys think? Are you team bread or team scones? ⁠

There's nothing more comforting on a cold, cloudy

There's nothing more comforting on a cold, cloudy day like today than a big, creamy bowl of hearty CHINESE-STYLE BORSCHT SOUP. It's easy to make (like 30 minutes kind of easy) with pantry and refrigerator staples.⁠
⁠
Typically borscht is described as a very light, watery soup base filled with vegetables, so how do we get this dreamy, creamy soup? By adding a secret ingredient — coconut milk.⁠
⁠
Other fun facts about this soup:⁠
⁠
✓ it's gluten free⁠
✓ it's dairy-free⁠
✓ you can make it vegan by omitting the meat⁠
✓ it's rich in vitamin C which helps prevent or fight off colds.⁠

Since we are staying at home, all day, every day,

Since we are staying at home, all day, every day, we are skipping take-out and replacing it with take-out type meals made with healthy ingredients. I am talking about delicious, vegetable-packed LO MEIN NOODLES ready in less than 15 minutes. Nope, that was not a typo. That's faster than the delivery time for take-out... ⁠
⁠
What else makes this dish so great?⁠
⁠
✓ it uses pantry and refrigerator staples⁠
✓ you can use any kind of noodles or even spaghetti⁠ pasta⁠
✓ use any vegetables that you have on hand⁠
✓ keep it vegetarian or add in any type of meat or seafood that you have in the fridge or freezer⁠
✓ better and healthier than getting take-out⁠

If there’s one thing I can eat year round, it’

If there’s one thing I can eat year round, it’s definitely chocolate. But even more so during self-isolation. In fact, the more chocolate, the better. Which is why I am head over heels in love with this DOUBLE CHOCOLATE LOAF CAKE. It’s got all the feels:⁠
⁠
✓ rich and intensely flavored⁠
✓ dense and chewy⁠
✓ a total show stopper ⁠
✓ tastes like fudge⁠
⁠
Have it for dessert after dinner, alongside brunch or even as a mid-day snack!⁠

So since bread is running out in some places acros

So since bread is running out in some places across the country, and yeast is sold out... why not satisfy your carb cravings with flaky, fluffy, butter, and soft, EASY HOMEMADE BISCUITS? They bake in 15 minutes AND require just a handful of ingredients: ⁠
✓ flour⁠
✓ baking powder⁠
✓ salt⁠
✓ sugar⁠
✓ butter ⁠
✓ milk⁠
⁠
These biscuits are amazing on their own with a little spread of butter, and also go amazing with a batch of homemade soup.⁠
