Homestyle Baked Scones


I have come to really enjoy these little treasures. I love to make these with soup or pasta, they are a nice change from the boring roll. They are quick, easy and super yummy, Mike eats a whole tray of them along with his dinner, plus more before he goes to bed. Give them a try, I'm sure they will become a family favorite as well.






Homestyle Bakes Scones
from Essential Mormon Celerations Cookbook

3 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
3 1/2 cups whipping cream, divided
1 1/2 cup cranberries (optional)

Sugar for dipping (I tried turbinado sugar, it was great! But you regular sugar works well too.)

In a bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt; stir well. Add 3 cups whipping cream, and cranberries; stir just until moist. Roll dough out on a well floured surface (you want them to be about 1/2 inch thick.) Using a glass or cookie cutter cut dough into circles. Dip tops of unbaked scones in reserved whipping cream and thenin sugar. Place on lightly greased cookie sheet (12 per sheet). Bake at 425 degrees for 12 to 14 minutes. Serve warm with butter. Makes about 30 scones.

Bakery style Strawberry Muffins

New recipe! Can you even believe it?! Kirsti and I decided we need to get back in the habit of sharing our favorite recipes by sharing at least one a month so here you go:   I’m starting off with these scrumptious strawberry muffins. Extra large and fluffy, these muffins are bursting with strawberry bits and topped with the most delicious strawberry glaze. If you end up with extra glaze, go ahead and drizzle some extra.  No judgement here :)   Even if you already love the previous strawberry muffins on our blog, you need to try these- they are the only ones I'll be making from here on out.  They're that good!

Chocolate Covered Cream Balls

Several years ago, I sampled a Milk Chocolate Coconut at See's Candies.  It was love at first bite.  Ever since then I have made a mandatory stop every time I went into the mall to get one of these delicious chocolates.  I love them so much !  However, there are two things I didn't like about them.  1) I had to go to the mall to get them, and 2) they are SO expensive.  I think the last time I was there I paid about 75 cents for 1 chocolate. 

Healthier Chocolate Banana Muffins

 I know, I know.  We already have like 5 banana muffins posted on this blog.  I have put off posting this recipe because of that fact, but here's the thing.  While those muffins are all delicious and great in their own way, when I have ripe bananas you know I'm either making these muffins or banana bread.  More often, these muffins because they are perfect for a grab and go snack or breakfast.  My family LOVES these muffins! They have such a deep chocolate flavor and are so moist.  What my family doesn't think about, but I love, are that these muffins are healthier than your average muffin.  They are made with whole wheat flour, coconut oil, greek yogurt for extra protein, and have less sugar that most other muffins.  These are best warm (they can be reheated in the microwave for 10 seconds) and those bites with melted chocolate chips are the absolute best!
