These praline scones are my absolute favorite weekend treat, and honestly, they're so simple to throw together that I make them all the time. The whole process takes less than an hour from start to finish, which means you can have warm, buttery scones on the table before lunch even ends. I love using praline paste here because it adds such a rich, nutty flavor without any extra fuss. Plus, the pecans packed throughout are full of healthy monounsaturated fats that make these feel a little less guilty to enjoy. Trust me, once you taste these, you'll be making them constantly.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Tip: Optional: use a silicone mat for easy cleaning.

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the praline paste and mix until well combined.
Tip: Use a pastry blender or your fingertips to work the praline paste into the dry ingredients.

In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, and milk until smooth.
Tip: Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl to incorporate all the ingredients.
- 4
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
Tip: Be careful not to overmix the dough.
- 5
Fold in the praline pecans.
Tip: Use a rubber spatula to gently fold in the pecans to avoid crushing them.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead a few times until it comes together.
Tip: Don't overwork the dough.
- 7
Pat the dough into a circle that is about 2 inches thick.

Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each scone.

Beergarita
My go to drink for summer gatherings is this refreshing Beergarita, and let me tell you, it's a total crowd pleaser. The combination of tequila, triple sec, fresh lime juice, and a cold Corona creates something that tastes way more complicated than it actually is. Lime juice is packed with vitamin C, which is great for your immune system, and the whole thing takes just five minutes to throw together. Best part? It's incredibly budget friendly since you're probably already stocking most of these ingredients anyway.
Tropical Quinoa
This tropical quinoa bowl has become my go to weeknight dinner because it comes together in just forty minutes and tastes like a mini vacation on a plate. Quinoa is one of my favorite ingredients since it's a complete protein with all nine essential amino acids, making it so satisfying and perfect for keeping energy levels steady. The combination of papaya, red bell pepper, and fresh cilantro brings vibrant flavors and colors, while the rice wine vinegar and orange zest add just the right brightness. Best part is the ingredient list is simple and affordable, yet feels fancy enough to impress anyone at your table.
Crispy seabass with preserved lemon yogurt
This is one of my favorite quick weeknight dinners because it comes together in just ten minutes flat. Crispy seabass with preserved lemon yogurt is that perfect balance of impressive and effortless, with tangy Greek yogurt and zingy preserved lemon creating a sauce that feels restaurant quality but tastes like home. The seabass gets beautifully golden and flaky while the freekeh provides substantial whole grains packed with fiber and protein. It's the kind of meal that makes you feel like you're treating yourself without any fuss.
