Any type of lentil will work in this weeknight soup. Or, substitute a couple cans of cannellini beans in their place.
Two different types of apples give you a mix of textures and an ideal sweet-tart filling. If you’re looking to streamline, use one or the other (Pink Ladies are less sour).
A decent amount of béchamel keeps this tomato-less lasagna moist as it cools.
For extra texture, trick out your cake with rainbow or chocolate sprinkles, chopped candies, or your favorite cereal.
It may not seem like very much filling, but these handheld pastries deliver the perfect filling-to-crust ratio (and if you overstuff the dough, they’ll be impossible to seal).
Easy
Using frozen strawberries ensures a consistent sweetness and vibrant red color.
Easy

For the neatest, cleanest edges, freeze the brownies for 15 minutes so they’re nice and firm before cutting, and dip your knife in hot water between each slice.

Cold butter is critical for flaky doughs, as the super tender crust of this pie proves. 
Easy
Broiling the brisket gives it a nice crisp top layer, but you can skip this step and it will still be delicious. Braising the meat with beer in the slow cooker, however? Absolutely necessary.
The only slow cooker chili recipe you need. This recipe can also be easily doubled.
Easy
Weeknight chowder? Use clam juice. Weekend? It’s worth making fish stock from scratch.
We like this textured, molasses-tinged loaf with a mix of seeds, but you can simplify by using a larger amount of just a couple of them.
