British Toad in a Hole
Toad in the Hole is budget-friendly English comfort food that is easy to whip up for a simple weeknight dinner or hearty lunch. Best of all, this recipe takes almost no time at all to prepare, using basic, inexpensive kitchen staples you probably already have in your pantry for the batter, and your choice of sausages. British bangers are traditional, but if you can't find English pork or veal sausages where you are, you can use what is available.

Chocolate Cherry Nut Granola
This sweet and crunchy chocolate cherry granola is great as a breakfast cereal with milk (or your favorite milk alternative), layered in yogurt parfaits or sprinkled on your smoothie bowls or ice cream sundaes. Or just eat it by the handful as a snack or trail food! It keeps well for weeks in a tightly sealed jar, or vacuum seal and freeze it for longer storage.

Perfect All-Butter Flaky Pastry Crust
Every baker and home cook should have at least one pie crust recipe in their repertoire. This basic flaky butter pastry crust is one of my absolute favorites, with a tender crumb and lots of flaky layers in the dough. Best of all, one batch of this pie crust recipe makes four crusts- enough for two covered fruit pies or four open topped pies or quiches. You can halve the recipe, but they keep for months in the freezer, so make the whole batch! This is THE recipe you'll find yourself reaching for again and again for holiday pies or for other festive occasions, or to freeze and have on hand for quick and easy pies, pastries, and quiches on a whim.

Sesame Pumpkin Seed Flax Crackers (gluten free!)
This is a pretty adaptable method. You can adjust the seeds and flavorings to your preference, or what you have in your pantry - I added some ground dried lambsquarters (seeds with some leaves) and black sesame seeds. The flaxseed and cornstarch are essential, though, as they're the glue and structure that binds these crackers together!
