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…
– Contest Closed – My favorite summer-time memory, growing up, was when my mom would make strawberry shortcake for dinner. She would make it cake-style. She’d bake up a giant round biscuit and slice it down the center. She’d fill it with juicy strawberries and whipped cream. We’d each get a giant slice served up in a bowl for dinner! This might be a giant reason why I love this dessert so much, ya know?…
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’m the luckiest lady to have finally met the hip lovechild of a lemon and a mandarin orange. I had three Meyer lemons and wasn’t about to waste a pinch of zest. And I’ve got these blueberries that are better than I’ve ever had. Elliot agrees. He likes for me to roll them into the living room so he can chase them. I decided to dot the scones with blueberries instead of mixing them in.…
This is my second time making these scones since Thursday. I think I have a problem. And that’s not the only problem I have. Turns out that I like to eat these despite having just eaten breakfast or lunch. Just know that these are nap-inducing if eaten when full. I know from experience. It’s just that I have a weakness for scones that are freckled with super dark chocolate and taste heavenly. Girl can’t help…
First of all, please don’t judge me for eating french fries two days in a row. And, please just know that two glazes are better than one. Always. So maybe two days of french fries is better than one? We are a few days into September, so it’s only right to get moving with the pumpkin love. And these scones are the perfect start. They are mini, so you can eat them two days in…
I’m wearing tennis shoes with my pajama dress right now. It has to do with me trying to kill a bug and instead having it fall somewhere shadowy and full of hiding spots and now I feel like it’s everywhere. I’ve failed at bug killing twice in the last week! It’s summer, don’t these bugs want to be outside? And once, Elliot licked a bug when I was hoping he’d take care of it for…
I can count on Jake making pizza every week. I can count on Elliot mistaking a tulip for a squirrel and trying to fight it. (He gets embarrassed when we go up close and he realizes it’s just a tulip.) I can always count on being hungry for corn bread topped with honey, and these scones have that cornbread and honey thing that I find completely irresistible. These guys are best warm, right out of…
I’m pretty strong. Once I broke an ice tray in half just trying to loosen the ice cubes. That might be the only example I can think of as far as physical strength… but I had to have really strong self control not to eat all these scones while they were still warm. The crunch of the coconut with the melty chocolatey goodness just about did me in. Do you ever think of coconut and pair…
Don’t be fooled by the poppy seeds these scones got, they’re still orange from the block. They’re not better than you. They’re not pretentious. They are just simply orange and deliciously refreshing. I happen to love orange! …orange flavored pasteries that is. Not when people say I have orange hair. My hair is red. Thank you very much. This is a remix of the chocolate chip scones I made last week. It just goes to…
