I browsed around Allrecipes and found this recipe. It was definitely a quick fix and tasted great. Like I mentioned in this post…

Blackberry Lemon Scones
You all know I love a good scone. Some of my favorites have been Rice Krispies Treat Scones and Bacon and Cheddar Scones. I hadn’t imaged pairing blackberry and lemon, but they work well together in this scone. I didn’t want to crush the blackberries much like the original baker, but since I used my scone…

Whole Wheat Bagels
Here is a first for me….bagels! We eat them throughout the week, and of course, I know I could save a little money if I just made them myself. I will have to admit that I am proud of myself for continuing to conquer my fear of baking with yeast. Making them is definitely a…
