On Friday I was all, “I just have to take off by 2:45 in order to make it to happy hour.” On Saturday I was all, “Gotta set my alarm! I have a brunch date at 10am.” You see, I like it when I have a tighter deadline due to happy hour plans and when I have to get up early for brunch. Some things are worth getting less sleep over. And other things, like scones, are good…
Because breakfast wins best meal award*. (*Based on the dessert-as-a-meal-thing, obvz.) Because my countertops are covered with dishes and my bed is covered with laundry. Because my car seats are covered in sesame seeds from emergency bagel-ing on the regular. Because I’m good at running out of milk, cereal, bread for toasting, and general breakfast foods. Because I took a 2-hour nap Saturday and then ran out of daylight. Because my favorite cowboy boots are…
On the way home from the grocery store, while snacking on tortilla chips I just bought, I thought about how it’d be cool if salsa-filled tortilla chips was a thing. When I got home one of my grocery bag handles broke off. Then I proceeded to fall up the stairs tripping over my own feet. Just your average Sunday grocery shopping situation, right? These scones, on the other hand, are not average. They are also…
I have holes in the right elbow of most of my sweaters. I’m pretty much a ragamuffin because I keep wearing hole-y things. I suppose the only thing to do to avoid my elbow drama is to make scones. These scones will distract you from your ragamuffin ways and get your focus more on things like how to eat breakfast in a brownie outfit. Heart-shaped scones are totally encouraged all year. But since Valentine’s Day…
I feel weird seeing someone I know at the gym. I’m not a gym-hottie. I’m more of a sweaty betty. It’s funny, though, to wave at that someone-you-know after you tried to pretend you didn’t see them after they pretended to not see you. But it’s totally ok to twinkly-finger wave at them as they leave and you’re climbing a mountain via treadmill. However, it’s not awkward to top everything with a crumbly topping. It’s…
Unlike these scones, I never wear khaki. At least I haven’t since I worked at the Coffee Beanery, in high school. But these scones can look supercool in khaki like Kendi. That’s not easy. They’re just a fashionable breakfast. P.S. I opted to blend up the rolled oats so that these would have an awesome texture instead of a weird texture. Also because blending oats happens in these cookies, and it works out swimmingly. But give…
Sometimes you just have to make your favorite scones again because you had a scone over the weekend that was a scone in a biscuit outfit. Sometimes you don’t even care that the scone was a fake because you were having so much fun! Sometimes eating breakfast in the rain is the only way. And sometimes muffins are ridiculously pretty when there are cherries and raindrops in them. Antique shopping and french fries are always…
