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.

Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps

I am always looking for fast, easy and nutritious meals for my busy weeknight meals.  These wraps have become one of our family favorites.  We serve these with a side of wontons or potstickers to complete the meal. The filling can be made ahead of time and reheated if your day is extra busy. Bibb lettuce is our favorite, but feel free to use iceberg or even romaine for this dish. I hope you enjoy these as much as we do!

Lindt Truffle Chocolate Cupcakes

These cupcakes are beyond delicious!   Divine is how my sister Becky described them.  I served these at her Bridal Shower on Saturday and everybody loved them!  I honestly think they are the best cupcakes I have ever eaten .  I'm not the only one who had that opinion either :) These are a chocolate lovers dream.  Here's the rundown.  A Lindt Lindor truffle is baked in the center of a rich and very moist devils food cupcake.

Hawaiian Grilled Chicken

Since this chicken came into our lives, we have had it for many happy dinners.  I can't claim that every member of my family loves, or even likes, every meal I make, but this is an exception.  There are no complaints with this chicken.  So flavorful! I started out making this recipe with chicken breasts, but have since started making it with chicken thighs which are even more tender and juicy.  Either one works though.  You need to try this out before grilling season is over! I love to serve this with grilled pineapple and coconut rice (see note).  Such a perfect Summer meal!
