New scones and new videos ๐ŸŒท fresh for spring!

Hey friendsโฃ๏ธ

Is there a better flavor combo for scones? I don't think so.

โ€‹Blackberry Lemon Sconesโ€‹

I do a lot of cooking and baking, that's an understatement! And when I want a break from the stress of my job, I bake scones. They're fun to make, always elegant, and a treat for me, especially since my favorite coffee ship no longer sells them.

Fruit scones are favorites of mine,

Fresh fruit scones tend to bake up a little looser and slightly unevenly because of the moist chunks of fruit, that's part of their charm.

If you love a sharper edged scone, try my date scones, or my classic cream scones.

Taste and texture are excellent! I doubled the recipe and baked in a 9 x 13 for 1:15. Will make again, good enough for company. Another winner, Sue!

I love to make delicious food, photograph it, and write about it, but mostly, I just love to EAT. Isnโ€™t that what itโ€™s all about? My recipes are bold and vibrant, but totally approachable ~ and my philosophy? We should all have the tools to feed ourselves well, and the confidence to cut loose a little in the kitchen. Food should be fun!

homemade kefir

Hey friendsโฃ๏ธ My son-in-law taught me how to make kefir and I'm excited to share it with you!

All you need is 2 ingredients and a jar, and it's a nice change from yogurt (with even more probiotics!) It's been a helpful next step on my personal journey to better eating and making my calories count. I...

almond flour banana cake

Hey friendsโฃ๏ธ Almond Flour Banana Cake is the kind of thing you bake when the kitchen's quiet, the bananas are soft, and you want something warm and familiar without being predictable. Almond Flour Banana Cake Bananas have always given me a stomachache, so I have never been able to eat them. But somewhere along the way I discovered that I'm perfectly fine with cooked bananas ~ hence my absolute obsession with banana desserts of all kinds. But almond flour gets equal billing in this recipe and...
