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!

Best Ever Chocolate Chip Cookies

The name says it all. These cookies are my (and my husband's) favorite cookies! Not just your average chocolate chip cookies, these babies come out of the oven with a slightly crisp outside while still remaining soft on the inside. Use Ghiradelli Milk Chocolate Chips and you will have achieved chocolate chip cookie perfection!

Scrumptious Sugar Cookies

Sugar cookies are one of my favorite things to make with the kids! It's tradition to make them for a few different Holidays including Valentine's Day. While decorating is the usually the main purpose in making these, over the years I have tweaked the cookie recipe and frosting to make them absolutely scrumptious as well! So much yummier that buying a store-bought mix and canned frosting.  I would even be so bold as to say I think they are every bit as good, if not better, than Swig and Crumble! Give them a try and see if you agree.   My Scrumptious Sugar Cookie Frosting is an ultra creamy, cream cheese frosting with a few extra additions that put it over the top! Sour Cream adds to the creaminess and takes the sweetness down a notch.  The frosting is still plenty sweet but not sickeningly so.  Butter Vanilla Emulsion is my other secret weapon that really elevates the flavor of this frosting! It can be found on Amazon, or in a craft store like Michaels,  but...
