EASIEST SCONES EVER – ON THE MENU

Sometimes recipes can be “oh, so easy” and way delicious!  These Easiest Scones Ever are my “go to” recipe for an after school snack, when friends show up, to serve with afternoon tea – no clotted cream for me –  or just to have around the house on weekends.  I use organic ingredients, but that’s my choice.

August 27, 2014 It was a tough, tough morning.  I knew that once I got up and got going, this would be the last full day I’d have to spend with Sydney before she officially became a college student.  But, I thought maybe if I stayed in bed, reality would just go away….Then this guy said, “it’s all a good thing and what’s meant to…
