Thoughts and feedback on me reworking some of the old classic foods?

Some of the old foods have been bothering me and I thought they could use an update, but seeing as they're old classics that have been around since the age of the microwaves, I wanted to run it by people before I do anything to them. Here are some of the ideas I've had.

 

1. Lasagna (Amount, sprite, varieties) - Was thinking about this one while eating Lasagna yesterday. I'm no kitchen expert IRL but people don't usually bake just one lasagna, right? They bake a whole tray and serve slices of it. I'm not sure if the Lasagna in game predates sliceable foods but I do know it's ancient. I thought of making lasagnas be a sliceable tray by default, similar to brownies (but more filling). I also think the sprite for it looks... Very meh and outdated. I'd like to update it and along the way, make two varieties of Lasagna - Meat and Vegetarian.

2. Pancakes (Sprite and recipe). The sprite looked okay back when food selection was limited, today it looks very plain and imo kind of ugly compared to the rest of the things we have on the menu. I'd like to update it. I also think the recipe of just putting flat dough in a frying pan might be a little outdated as well, maybe have it be a mixture of batter, sugar and butter? I was also thinking of making syruped versions of them since the game has a variety of syrups that aren't used for much.

3. Doner Kebabs(just the recipe) - Now that Pitas are in the game it seems to me to make more sense to use that instead of flat dough.

4. Vanilla cake (recipe) - Well, we now have vanilla extract in the game. Maybe we could put that in there? Or is it better to leave it out for simplicity's sake?

If you have any thoughts on these or other dishes you'd like to see changed I'd love to hear it.

In the same vein as lasagna: baking muffins one at a time is incredibly silly and I'd love to see it produce a tray of six or so instead.

^Oooh, very good point. That should be an easy fix, I can tackle that, too.
